Quotables from Notables

Bobby you have a hit here [Mulholland Drive Cafe]. Do you know why you have a hit? Look at everyone here, they are looking at the people at the bar. Everyone at the bar is looking at the people in the dining room. They are looking at the mural painted on the wall. They are looking at the floor. They are looking at the ceiling. They are looking at everything but their food. Bobby you have a hit.

--Jackie Mason

I'd like to play Bobby's character if it is ever developed into a movie.
