A Small Circle of Friends
1980
Leonardo DaVinci Rizzo: (posing as a blind man in line to register for classes) Is this a full load? Class Selection Secretary: Almost. Leonardo DaVinci Rizzo: In that case, I would like to take Photography 101. Class Selection Secretary: (delicately) Um, I don't think... Leonardo DaVinci Rizzo: Madame, I know I am blind! But I don't see why that should hold me back from taking the classes I want. Look at Beethoven, deaf as he was... did anybody tell him not to compose music? Look at Helen Keller... blind as a bat. Did anybody tell her not to teach? Or how about Van Gogh, just because he cut off his ear. No! (the people in line cheer)
Leonardo DaVinci Rizzo: (breaking into an office with a suction cup on a window) I saw it on "I Spy" or "The Untouchables". I forget which.
Alice: (watching the draft lottery on television) Only men would come up with a draft lottery that uses balls.
Jessica Bloom: I'll tell you exactly what I mean... and it has a great deal to do with the meaning of this bed: Go fuck yourself!
Leonardo DaVinci Rizzo: Where's your boyfriend from? Jessica Bloom: San Francisco. Leonardo DaVinci Rizzo: That's not a boyfriend. That's a pen-pal!
Leonardo DaVinci Rizzo: Huh! Egypt's not in Europe. That's only a technicality!
