Even for Manny Celler's committee, such histrionics may be hard to take...
...comfortingly when she finds the vile fellow sulking over an unsuccessful assassination. "Maybe we can find somebody to run over on the way home." The wackiest crack, however, is delivered by the beastly bodyguard. When somebody protests that it isn't nice to "kill a perfect stranger," the brute tolerantly replies: "Nobody's poifick...
