It takes nearly four hours to get there, but plenty of you were able to make it all the way to the final line of Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America, the source of last week’s quiz. The line, of course, is Robert DeNiro’s conflicted final goodbye to an old friend, spoken just before the appearance of the most memorable garbage truck in movie history. It’s a hell of a moment, a perfect mournful capper to the great Leone’s great career, and a lovely reminder of how powerful DeNiro could be back when he was still trying. Congratulations to those who got it.
This week’s quote finds us resorting to all possible measures in an attempt to beat the summer heat. As I sit here with a rather alarming sunburn, the following lines don’t sound so bad to me:
“Where we’re goin’ it’s gonna get colder than hell.”
“Nah, it’s OK. I’m fine. Fine, I’m fine.”
