Last night, in Baltimore's Little Italy, my favorite movie "Moonstruck" was screened, outdoors, projected on the side of a building. Unfortunately I couldn't make it, so I watched it today on DVD. There are so many memorable lines and scenes, but I think this one is my favorite, because it makes no sense and complete sense at the same time.
Cosmo Castorini (played by Vincent Gardenia) had just seen his daughter Loretta (played by Cher), Johnny Cammareri's fiance (played by Danny Aiello), out on a date with another man, while he himself was on the town cheating on his wife.
The hand gestures during this exchange are perfect:
Cosmo Castorini: You'll have your eyes opened for you, my friend.
Johnny Cammareri: I have my eyes open.
Cosmo: Oh yeah? Well, stick around. Don't go on any long trips.
Johnny: I don't know what you mean.
Cosmo: I know you don't. That's the point. I'll say no more.
Johnny: You haven't said anything!
Cosmo: And that's all I'm saying.
