Sidetracked by the Analogy/Quotes
- Bob. Bob McCay is in his workplace talking with his wife and daughter about an old friend coming over, who had once made a pass at Kaye (Bob's wife). The conversation quickly devolves into a discussion of movies Tony Curtis and Kirk Douglas were in.
Bob: I still don't trust Jerry. I'm not taking my eyes off him. If he so much as looks crosseyed at you I'm gonna punch him in the breadbasket.
Kay: You're gonna do what?
Bob: It's not funny Kaye. It's very serious. Houdini died from that.
Tricia: Didn't Houdini die trying to escape from a water chamber?
Harlan walks over
Harlan: No. In the movie that was how Tony Curtis died.

Harlan: No, Tony Curtis killed Kirk Douglas in that.
Albie: No, that was The Vikings.
Bob: I didn't, I didn't see that.
Tricia: So what happend to Kirk Douglas?
