The Jerk
Confusion Over Prize Boundaries
Fairgoer Hey, honey, let's see how good this guy is. What do I win?
Navin R. Johnson Uh, anything in this general area right in here. Anything below the stereo and on this side of the Bicentennial glasses. Anything between the ashtrays and the thimbles. Anything in this three inches, right in here, in this area that includes the Chiclets but not the erasers.
[gesturing at the prize display]
Fairgoer No sir. Come on, honey. He thought he had himself a rube.
Navin Frosty, I'm just no good at this.
Frosty Ah, come on, Navin. You're doing fine.
Navin No, I've already given away eight pencils, two hula dolls and an ashtray, and I've only taken in fifteen dollars.
Frosty Navin, you have taken in fifteen dollars and given away fifty cents worth of crap, which gives us a net profit of fourteen dollars and fifty cents.
Navin Ah, it's a profit deal! Heh, takes the pressure off. Get your weight guessed right here! Only a buck! Actual live weight-guessing! Take your chance and win some crap! Step right up!

Conflict Between Duty and Morality
Correll Boy, I never thought I'd see the day when talking to murderers took priority over running a railroad.
Lt. Garber Get off it, will you, Frank? My only priority is saving the lives of these passengers.
Correll Screw the goddamn passengers! What the hell did they expect for their lousy 35 cents - to live forever?
Lt. Garber Oh, you're beautiful. Do you read me, Pelham One Two Three?
[into mike]
Correll If I was running things, I'd go in there with guns and tear gas and blast them out.
Lt. Garber Yeah, well you're not running things, so why don't you start doing your own work and let the police do theirs, huh?
Correll Like that lily-livered cop on the train, huh? When the hell's he going to start shooting?
Lt. Garber We don't even know if it is a he. Do you read me, Pelham One Two Three?
[into mike]
Correll Lady cops - what the hell good are they? She probably can't even find her gun in her goddamn purse!

Correll Yeah, Caz Dolowicz. Why?

Correll Hey, what do you mean you knew him?
Lt. Garber They just shot him.
Correll Dead? Caz? Fat Caz?
Lt. Garber Yeah.
Correll Awww, shit!
