Thank you.  I have gotten so much grief from friends about Cracking Up being a good movie.  "Jerry Lewis? C'mon… It can't be good."  The fools.

"Paul, please.  It's been what?  Twelve years?  Thirteen?  How many of these movies now?  Could you… Could you just tell me?  Just tell me, please, where did you bury my mother?"

"And right there you can see where we've put the shit you're getting too old for."

He used the same trick on Shane that he used on Lori.  With her he suggested something that he kinda-sorta figured out.  With Shane he wanted to see just what kind of guy Shane really is.  He played Shane and got the answer he was looking for.
