Gaetano Lisi: Cab Driver - New York

Quotes 

• Neal : Sir?

  [runs up to a man getting into a cab] 

  Neal : Sir? Sir, excuse me. I know this is your cab, but I'm desperately late for a plane, and I was wondering if I could appeal to your good nature and ask you to let me have it.

  New York Lawyer : I don't have a good nature. Excuse me.

  Cab Driver - New York : [impatiently]  Come on!

  Neal : Can I offer you ten dollars for it?

  New York Lawyer : [scoffs]  Nah.

  Neal : Twenty! I'll give you twenty dollars for it.

  New York Lawyer : I'll take fifty.

  Neal : [hesitates, then starts to take the money out]  All right, all right.

  New York Lawyer : Anyone who'd pay fifty dollars for a cab... would certainly pay seventy-five.

  Neal : Not necessarily...

  [pause] 

  Neal : All right, seventy-five dollars. You're a thief!

  New York Lawyer : Close. I'm an attorney.

  Neal : [dryly]  Have a happy holiday.

  New York Lawyer : This'll help.
