Dialogue Greatness

"The Jerk" (1979)- Comedian Steve Martin as Navin "The Jerk" in a film directed by the brilliant Carl Reiner.

 Navin (Martin) works at a gas station. A crazed man is hiding on a hill across from
 the gas station. The shooter is "secretly" sniping at Navin with a hunting rifle. Shots hit oilcans that are stacked in a pyramid between the gas pumps next to Navin. The bullets smack into the cans with a popping sound and oil is squirting out of the holes. After multiple cans are hit Navin innocently says:
"Hey, I think these cans of oil are defective."

Fancy film words
