The opening montage of Boondock Saints, as I'd have written it:
Rosengurtie: Rule of thumb? Wait, rule of thumb? In the early 1900s it was legal for men to beat their wives, so long as they used a stick no wider than their thumb.
Connor: No, that's a fucking linguistic urban legend, you daft cow! What, do you also think that the Eskimos have sixty-five words for snow?
(And yeah, I loved the movie, but the Cliff Clavens of the world annoy me in any context)
