...Excuse me, would you please
tell em where I could find a
garden to work in?
LOLO
What you growin', man?
CHANCE
There is much to be done during
the winter, I must start the
seeds for the spring, I must
work the soil...
ABBAZ
Bullshit. Who sent you here,
boy? Did that chickenshit
asshole Raphael send you here,
boy?
CHANCE
No. Thomas Franklin told me
that I had to leave the Old
Man's house, he's dead now,
you know...
ABBAZ
Dead, my ass! Now get this,
honkie - you go tell Raphael
that I ain't takin' no jive
from no Western Union messenger!
You tell that asshole, if he got
somethin' to tell me to get his
ass down here himself!
(edges closer
to Chance)
You got that boy?
From the novel by Jerzy Kosinski
"BEING THERE"
Screenplay by
Jerzy Kosinski and Robert C. Jones
One of the all time funniest scenes in a movie. Sellers really did have great comedic timing.
