CLIP DESCRIPTION:
While trying to close the books on a dead man, Bones (Dennis Farina) gets into a semantic argument with Chili (John Travolta) about "i.e." and "e.g."
FILM DESCRIPTION:
A gangster is looking to get away from crooked deals and double-crossing people but ends up in the movie business anyway in this comic crime story. Chili Palmer (John Travolta) is a Miami-based loan collector for the mob trying to collect a gambling debt. His assignment takes him to Hollywood to collect money from Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman), a mildly sleazy producer of low-budget horror movies. Although Chili intends to hurt Harry if necessary, he takes a certain liking to him and an even keener interest in Karen (Rene Russo), Harry's girlfriend, whom Chili recognizes from Harry's grade-B monster epics. It seems Harry has a script that he feels is Academy Award material, and he could get the project off the ground if he could get the right actor for the lead -- say, the well-respected but egocentric (and diminutive) Martin Weir (Danny DeVito). Chili thinks he has a feel for the movie business and decides to see what he can do to persuade Weir to get behind the project. Chili soon finds himself hip deep in the film industry, which at least puts him in contact with a higher grade of scumbags than he's used to. But Chili isn't the only criminal Harry's been dealing with; he's been obtaining financing from Bo Catlett (Delroy Lindo), a drug dealer with a highly uncertain temperament. An intelligently constructed crime story and a hilarious look at the absurdities of the film business, Get Shorty was based on the novel of the same name by Elmore Leonard; Leonard based Chili on a real-life former gangster of his acquaintance, though Chili's model never worked in Hollywood.

The annoyed look Chili gives when Ray’s bodyguard puts scissors to his throat… Like “Really??”

[@JoshMaxPower]

In the book, its a little more serious - Bones has the guy use scissors and chop Chili's hair in different places to humiliate him before they leave. Then the two barbers fix it, giving him a really short haircut. It lowers Chili's opinion of Bones even more that they do that instead of roughing him up a little. Travolta's last truly great role and Farina is amazing as usual.

[@etchosts8162]

Didn’t know there was a book.

[@rotcod2886]

Don't remember that. I read it back in the 90s. This is one of my favorite movies. Farina is brilliant, as you say.

[@scottbuckley823]

I never read the book but I prefer the movie version because Chilli stays cool and him knowing the henchman shows that Ray Bones isn't all that powerful nor even liked. The fact that he can only get a henchman because he can't speak spanish speaks volumes.

[@brianrushford4057]

Never got around to reading the book but this was a brilliant role for Travolta

[@scottbuckley823]

@@brianrushford4057 Yeah I hope Travolta makes a comeback seems like such a nice guy.

I love that even Ray's bodyguard doesn't like him.

Too bad he can't speak Spanish (they're in Miami lol)

Dennis Farina-- what a fun actor he was.

[@bball4lif78]

One of my all time favorite movies, and this scene is one of the best scenes ever.

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

1:24 is the funniest

[@chrisn5079]

​@@stefanmovieflixtomasi I always laugh out loud when I hear him say that 😂 E.g i.e. F you 😂

[@aleksamrkela831]

1:40 - Wait. Is that Gennaro, the slimy lawyer from Jurassic Park?

[@dondee5439]

At the 1:05 mark, we get an English grammar lesson. Soo funny. E.g. stands for exempli gratia and means “for example.” I.e. is the abbreviation for id est and means “in other words.” Ergo means "therefore". Class dismissed.

[@anthonygerace332]

There should have been a cameo role of Samuel L Jackson teaching that English lesson!

I love it when the thug breaks his work persona for an honest answer. "Not these days. Unless you speak Spanish."

[@nadirrabah6756]

I love how Chilli corrects him. EG means "for example" correcting "his (mafia) captain"

"To the best of my knowledge, e.g. means 'for example.'"

Dennis Farina was funny af in this flick ...one of Travoltas best movies

[@gj8683]

If you haven't seen him in "Midnight Run," he's very funny in that, too. Great comedy movie.

[@KClouisville]

@@gj8683 He was a natural at characterization and delivering dialog. I've never looked it up but I often wonder how much formal acting training he had....he actually was a Chicago cop up until he was near 40 I believe.

[@LYLEWOLD]

can't even get the "When i say jump ... " line right, LMAO

[@Capcoor]

Lyle W He didn’t necessarily get it wrong. He just varied it a bit.

[@Capcoor]

Rick O'Shay Supposedly, the real way to say it is, “When I say jump, you jump! or “When I say jump, you say “ how high?”

[@JoshMaxPower]

@@Capcoor thats what a gitl i dated when i was 19 said, complaining about the other woman i was dating.:) "how high??" Both of em 5 feet tall and both tough girls. :) (and both cute as buttons!)

I wish Chili explained 'Less Than vs. Fewer'. That one I can never remember.

Look at me Harry.

[@CribNotes]

Oh man, the repeated use of the phrase "Look at me, Harry" in various dramatic contexts and it's always bad news for Harry!! First Chili said it to him. Then Ray Bones. Then Martin Weir. Hilarious!!

[@nataliestory2614]

Martin Ferrero was in that scene. He was in the pilot of Crime Story playing a fairly bad thief who was brought into the station by Billy Campbell’s character Joey Indelli. Had a few scenes with Farina’s Torello.

[@ragingriccor9999]

He was also the lawyer in Jurassic Park. The T-Rex victim.

[@RobertBeer-os7ju]

Get shorty, funny movie. One of travoltas best. Phenomenon too.

[@wizrom3046]

Easy done. 18% of 10 grand is 1800 Since he knows its 15 grand, you have to add another half of that on top 1800 + 900 Equals 2700 If you were in that business it should only take a couple of seconds to calc that in your head, especially if you are working with 18% regularly

Pulp fiction was too dark and be cool lacked actors and the chemistry between actors get shorty had.

For the record: e.g. = exempli gratis, (free example or more popularly "for example"); i.e.= id est (that is, or more popularly "in other words"). The problem according to Strunk and White is those abbreviations are only for the written word. Tryin' to help. Benefits of a good public education from the '70's. If yours sucked, sue Reagan's estate

Every other major Elmore leonard movie, they cast comedians and it takes all the air out of the comedy.
