Finally! An intellectual comedy. Wow, that sounded stuck up. But seriously, it's a great film. It contains one of my favorite passages of dialogue ever:

"I may not know much about John Paul Satre, but I've got a handicap of four" "How do you know about Satre?!" ... "He was a good golfer.".

"How did you know Satre was a golfer?".

"I don't. How could I?" I don't even know who the fuck he is. Well, they keep telling us we have to lie.".

"You know, I have a feeling Kafka was good at table tennis.".
