The absolutely funniest line in the movie for me. I mean, Matt Dillon was hysterical thoughout but that line, with its terrible political incorrectness, big ugly teeth and ridiculous smile, had me crying the first time I saw the movie. So many other great scenes and lines.
What's your favorite Pat a Mook's scene?
Concur. It was the funniest line. The word retard is universally accepted as a cruel epithet, and Pat feigns charatibility by using the word, being too insensitive to know that the word is not supposed to be household. What is also ironic is that when one calls someone a "retard", he uses it as a noun when it fact it is a verb; to slow. So when Pat so confidently uses the word retard to impress Mary, he demonstrates his own social retardation. One might say he bacame hoisted on his own retard.
He didn't get out of the cock-a-doody car!!!
Lol you hit the nail completely.

Mary did use the term "politically incorrect", but the term was in its infancy in 1998. No way would he be able to say "retard" in a movie today (2023), or even 10 years ago.
