I think my favorite line of old school is when Will's streaking, his character's streaking, his wife and her friends find him.
He gets in the car and they start yelling at him.
Then he ends the scene with, you think KFC's still open?
Such a bow on that scene.
You got one, Paul?
If we're talking comedies, where I remember the theater being raucous, there's something about Mary.
I knew nothing about that movie walking in.
And there's a couple scenes with Ben Stiller where you're laughing out loud.
And the whole place was like, you remember where he zips up in the prom scene?
The place was going crazy at the theater.
I remember that specifically.
Yeah, Dylan.
That was Tropic Thunder for me.
Yes, Paul.
So for Tropic Thunder, Ben Stiller tells this story.
He ran into Tom Cruise, told him about the film, and said, you got a little something for me in there?
And he's like, you're joking.
He goes, no, because Tom Cruise at that time, or any time, would be unavailable for a comedy to do a cameo.
And he first was going to be Ben Stiller's agent, which was played by McConaughey.
And Tom Cruise said, how about a bigger role where I'm the studio head?
