19. His part in The Island was great

The way he explains the reality of the real world to two clones is just great.

Young man clone asks, "God? Who is God?"

Buscemi, to himself, "Why do I have to be the one to tell people there is no Santa Clause?"

Buscemi to Young man clone, "You know when you ask for something you want? Well God is the one who ignores you."

End of conversation.

Classic Buscemi. Sometimes I wonder if he writes his own lines.
