Hey, Zeus!
One of my favorite dialogue exchanges in movie history takes place between Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson in Die Hard 3.
Samuel L. Jackson: Why do you keep calling me 'Jesus'? Do I look Puerto Rican to you?
Bruce Willis: Guy back there called you 'Jesus'.
Samuel L. Jackson: He didn't say 'Jesus'. He said, "Hey, Zeus!" My name is Zeus.
Bruce Willis: Zeus?
Samuel L. Jackson: Yeah, Zeus. As in father of Apollo? Mt. Olympus? Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass? Zeus! You got a problem with that?
Things might not have gotten as heated between them as they did had this guy been there to help clear things up. I saw this license plate in the parking lot at Trader Joe's tonight and couldn't resist the urge to get a picture of it, and it immediately made me think of the above quotes.
