My Blue Heaven (1990)

 


Directed by Herbert Ross. Rick Moranis. Steve Martin. Joan Cusack. William Hickey. Bill Irwin. Written by Nora Ephron. When I was a kid my grandmother would cut the entire stack of pancakes into little squares and then I would eat the little square stacks from the outside in in a circle. That was my system for eating pancakes.

You don't tip FBI men. Sure you do.

My Blue Heaven (1990)—“Will Stubbs”

DS: I thought I was cut out of that movie.

AVC: No, you’re definitely in it long enough for Rick Moranis to kick your ass.

DS: [Laughs.] I honestly had no idea if that made it in. I enjoyed working with Rick and Joan Cusack, but I couldn’t have told you what I did until you mentioned it. For whatever reason, I’d gotten the feeling that I’d been cut out of it. I never saw it. Either way, it apparently wasn’t a memorable part for me. But the people were nice. Steve Martin was certainly a nice guy.

This is Engineer Fred


End of the line.
Navin (to Billy) Don’t touch the Johnson bar! It’ll explode the fuel casing! And if the Wilson-Smith indicator gets above one sixty, just turn that little nut down there one quarter turn. There’s a little screwdriver there, just put it in and turn it one quarter. Now listen Billy, we’re going into a tunnel don’t stand up because the clearance is only four foot, uhh! (Navin hits his head on the tunnel) I’m o.k., I was protected by the bill of my Engineer Fred cap! (the train slows to a stop) Thank’s for pulling my cap down.
