Quotes

Dana: I am so excited to see this film. Dustoff Varnya is such a brilliant director. Did you see his last film, The Flower that Drank the Moon? It was... glorious.
Seymour: I must have missed that one. Then again, what do I know? I like Laurel and Hardy movies.
Dana: Really? I never really cared for those. I mean, why does the fat one always have to be so mean to the skinny one?

Crazy Credits

After all the credits roll, there's another take of the scene where Seymour
(Steve Buscemi) gets attacked by Doug in the minimart. Only this time,
Buscemi's characer easily wins the fight, choking Doug with his own weapon,
and stomps out triumphantly. He finishes with a bunch of Mr. Pink type
dialogue. See more »
