I remember going to see Falling Down with a friend when it came out. She and I were the only one’s laughing through the movie. Same thing happened with Pulp Fiction.

Patrick: You know you won’t have the reflections as bad if you close the blinds
Paddy: They say it’s bad to watch TV in the dark
Patrick: So then why do you have all the overheads on?

Paddy: That’s wonderful?
Patrick: The wife, got a lay off notice an hour ago
Paddy: Oh

Dog: zzzzzzzzzzz
Paddy: You must sit and watch a movie about the future that have already failed to happen, from the past
Dog: zzzzzzzzzzz
Paddy: Beer would be good too
