BILL:
You tellin' me to shut up?

CHUCK:
I'm telling you to shut up!..I will tell your recorder so that you don't forget!
(Chuck picks up tape recorder and turns it on)

CHUCK:
Hello, this is Chuck to remind Bill to SHUT UP!

2. LOVE Night Shift.

My favorite exchange:

Bill: What are we really talking about here? Huh? What's the essence of what we're talking about? Spell it out for you if I have to.

[writing on chalkboard]

Bill: PROSTITUTION! Prostitution. Yeah, we can say it. We're big kids now, right? You know a lot of times it'll help you to understand a word if you break it down, so let's do that now, shall we? PROS... it doesn't mean anything. Forget about that... TIT, I think we all know what that means. TU, kay two tit and TION, of course, from the Latin to shun... to say no, uh-uh, thank you anyway I don't want it, to push away... it doesn't even belong in this word really, so let's get rid of that.

Night Shift probably wouldn't fly in this day and age. But it's still one of my all time favorite movies.

10. "PROS...it doesn't mean anything. Forget about that...TIT, I think we all know what that means"

It's one of my all time favorite movies too.

Good cast!
Good script!
Well directed by Ron Howard,
and considering that it's 35 years old, it still holds up well, imo.

Movie critic Leonard Maltin wrote about it:
"Delightful, good-natured comedy, sharply directed and written with verve."
