"Mister, all this shit is the same." The central line in the movie!

@BobBerkeley Yeah, a good case can be made for that.

I read in an old interview that Altman himself was very proud of this first scene that held the attention of the viewer as long as it did with out any real action.

As for me, I could just watch Elliott Gould 24/7.

@waltherppk1000 You must be insane. Gould is a fucking beast of a man in this film.

"What do I need a cat for? I got a girl!"

Best line in the movie, right there.

Elliot Gould comes off as a fruit, a pansy, a nancy boy. They wrecked the story.
