The Jerk - Confusion Over Prize Boundaries
Fairgoer:
Hey, honey, let's see how good this guy is. What do I win?
Navin R. Johnson: [gesturing at the prize display]
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.
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: [barking]
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!

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three - 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: [into mike]
Oh, you're beautiful. Do you read me, Pelham One Two Three?
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: [into mike]
We don't even know if it is a he. Do you read me, Pelham One Two Three?
Correll:
Lady cops - what the hell good are they? She probably can't even find her gun in her goddamn purse!

Z, they just drew first blood, that supervisor from Grand Central Tower. We don't know his name, they just killed him.
Lt. Garber:
Oh God. Thanks, Rico. Frank, do you know who went down to 28th St. from Grand Central?

Yeah, Caz Dolowicz. Why?

Geeze, I knew him.
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!
