Okay, one more great movie line.  Admit it, I bet few of you can deny experiencing this situation: You're in a meeting.  The leader is either is taking roll, or asking for input from a person or team, and is met with - silence.  Invariably, somebody in the room chimes in with:

"Bueller?  Bueller?"

What's great about that scene, as is true of other famous movie lines (like "Hey! I'm walking here!") is that it was never in the script and ad-libbed.  Ben Stein admitted this on 60 Minutes, CNN, and Oprah.  Stein was introduced to John Hughes in part because both were Republicans in Hollywood.  Hughes originally was to have Stein read the class roster off-camera, but the kids erupted in laughter with his droll delivery.  Hughes then put him in front of the camera, and told him to talk on whatever he wanted.  That may be my favorite scene in a film filled with great scenes.

or do you think that's because I'm an American spy?  Go f*** yourself, you f***ing child."

I highly recommend that readers watch that scene from the beginning.  It is my favorite scene in the flick (and there were several great ones).

The full scene (I think)

Charlie Wilson's War (1/9) Movie CLIP - Another Broken Window (2007) HD - YouTube

Charlie Wilson standing on the balcony of his apartment and says to his girl friend the belly dancer "this is be best view in Washington DC" she says "I will show you the section best view in Washington DC" while she spread out on the couch in her underwear.

Wilson's congressional receptionist response to a visitors observation that all of Wilson staff are big chested females "Charlie says you can teach them to type, but you cant teach them to grow big tits"

Trivia question:  The actress who plays the belly dancer is the granddaughter of which NFL head coach?  Ths NFL coach when asked why he took his wife on all the road trips during the season responded "She is too ugly to kiss good bye"

Think they were on the deck looking at "the best view in DC" when the donor's daughter asks Charlie if he wants to see "the second best view in DC."  Agree that was a phenomenal scene and well-delivered line.  

But if we're talking about Charlie Wilson's War, then I also have to offer this great line (which is at the end of a GREAT scene):

Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks):        Well, I guess it ain't gonna be twice tonight.

Houston Socialite (Julia Roberts):  Well, I guess somebody can't count.

Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks):         Oh, darling, I was talking about me!

Goddamn, that’s a pretty ***** good milkshake. Don’t know if it’s worth five dollars, but it’s pretty ***** good.

Seems quaint when we are talking about $15 beers. A $5 milkshake in 1994 would be worth $9.20 today.
