CHAR: There is a scene between Gene Hackman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio in the kitchen, and she says to Gene, "I forget......How many tablespoons are in a teaspoon?" She should have said, "How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon." PLOT: After being deluged with former test engineer Pavel's lifetime work files while at the automaker, Jed Ward asks colleagues to find "Pavel, the bunny man," so they can speak with him. If they had not yet spoken with Pavel, Jed would not know to describe him as "the bunny man." |

Jedediah Tucker Ward: By the way, you so much as look at my daughter, they won't be able to identify you with dental records. Jedediah Tucker Ward: I COULDN'T HOLD HIS FUCKING HAND, OKAY! Maggie Ward: No, you didn't hold a hand! Not unless it was young, female, and attractive! Jedediah Tucker Ward: If your mother could hear you now. Maggie Ward: Well she can't, can she? She finally got out of here and wherever she is, she's gotta be much happier than she was with you. Maggie Ward: [Jedediah attempts to hit Maggie, shocking her] Finally, words fail the great Jedediah Tucker Ward. |
