    "Jesus Christ, what a fuckin' nightmare."

    I was stunned to learn recently that he once listed this line from "Slap Shot" as his favourite of all the lines he had ever delivered on screen.

    He will be missed. :'(

    Mr J,

    Frank Galvin in The Verdict: "You couldn't hack it as a lawyer. You were a bagman for the boys downtown and you still are. I know about you."

    Hud: "Happens to everybody. Nobody gets out of life alive."

    Fast Eddie Felsen: "Look at that fat man dance."

    and

    FEF: "Fast and loose, man."

    YD&OHS, etc

    Not a Hustler original line, but at least the screenwriter(s) had the good sense to steal it for appropriate usage in that picture.
