This one is a special one for my favourite cousin Jacqui, this is one of her favourite movies, as well as being one of mine. Anyone for Merenge?

FBI agent Barney Coopersmith (Rick Moranis) is assigned to protect former Mafia figure turned informant Vincent Antonelli (Steve Martin). In the witness protection program one is supposed to keep a low profile, but that is something that Antonelli has trouble doing. Coopersmith certainly has his hands full keeping Antonelli away from the Mafia hitmen who want to stop him testifying, not to mention the nightclubs...

Vinnie is a people person and wins the hearts of the whole town, except for Police Sergeant Johanna Stubbs (Joan Cusack) who ends up falling in love with Barney. Who would guess that this small southern Californian town would fall in love with a mobster and of course the Vincent Antonelli stadium.

Clerk at Supermarket: Hello sir, would you like to try a vanilla-bran oat crunchy?

[Pickup line.]
Vincent Antonelli: You know, it's dangerous for you to be here in the frozen food section.

Vincent Antonelli: You have something against books?
Hannah Stubbs: I have nothing about books! I am curious about the books in your trunk.
Vincent Antonelli: You see, I was thinking of writing my story, so I bought this one on how to do it.
Hannah Stubbs: Why do you need 25 copies of it?
Vincent Antonelli: In case I want to read it more than once...

Vincent Antonelli: Richie loved to use 22s because the bullets are small and they don't come out the other end like a 45, see, a 45 will blow a barn door out the back of your head and there's a lot of dry cleaning involved, but a 22 will just rattle around like Pac-Man until you're dead.

[last line]
Vincent Antonelli: You know, sometimes I even amaze myself.

[Barney tells a joke. Everyone laughs, except Hannah.]
Hannah Stubbs: I see that it's funny. I have a sense of humor.

Vincent 'Vinnie' Antonelli: Sure you do!
