Oh, I love that movie! He actually has a point on some things, like keeping your eye on your expenses, and investing your money in other things.
“Back to School” is actually on Youtube movies right now, but unfortunately they took out one of my favorite jokes for some reason.
Chas : [limping off the diving board] “I have got a really bad cramp. I’ve been having really bad cramps all week.”
Jason Melon : “It’s probably menstrual.”
Chas : “Screw you, Melon!”
Rodney was great. I especially love this little rant he gives to a snotty Economics prof in ‘Back To School’ when Rodney has to take his class. In this movie Rodney’s character, Thornton Melon, is a successful businessman who goes to college to prove to his kid that ‘it’s not so hard’. Needless to say hilarity ensues especially when Rodney’s real-world experiences run up against the economics prof’s ivory tower lessons.
Note, spoilered for everyone who’s uninterested:
Barbay: So, let’s start by looking at construction costs of our new factory.
Melon: What’s the product?
Barbay: That is immaterial for the purposes of our discussion here but if it makes you happy, let’s say we’re making tape recorders.
Melon: Tape recorders? Are you kiddin’? The Japs will kill us on the labor costs.
Barbay: OK, fine. Then let’s just say they’re widgets.
Melon: (baffled) What’s a widget?
Barbay: (hoping he’s getting the hint) It’s a fictional product. It doesn’t matter.
Melon: Doesn’t matter. Tell that to the bank.
Barbay: On the board, you will see a cost analysis for construction of a square-foot facility, which will encompass both factory and office space, and is fully serviced by all utilities, a railroad spur line, and a four-bay shipping dock.
Melon: Hold it, hold it. Why build? You’re better off leasing at a buck and a quarter, a buck and a half a square foot. Take your down payment and put it into CDs, or something else you can roll over every couple of months.
Barbay: Thank you, Mr. Melon, but we’ll be concentrating on finance a little later in the term. For the time being, let’s just concentrate on the construction figures, shall we? You’ll see the final bottom line requires the factoring in of not just the material and construction costs, but also the architects’ fees and the cost of land servicing.
Melon: Oh, you left out a bunch of stuff.
Barbay: Oh, really? Like what, for instance?
Melon: First of all, you have to grease the local politicians for the sudden zoning problems that always come up. Then there’s the kickbacks to the carpenters. And if you plan on using any cement in this building, I’m sure the teamsters would like to have a little chat with you, and that’ll cost you. Don’t forget a little something for the building inspectors. There’s the long-term costs, such as waste disposal. I don’t know if you’re familiar with who runs that business, but I assure you it’s not the Boy Scouts.
Barbay: That will be quite enough, Mr. Melon. Maybe bribes and kickbacks and Mafia payoffs are how you do business, but they are not part of the legitimate business world. And they’re certainly not part of anything I’m teaching in this class. Do I make myself clear?
Melon: Sorry. Just trying to help, that’s all.
Bombay: Now, notwithstanding Mr. Melon’s input… the next question for us is: Where to build our factory?
Melon: How about Fantasyland?
(class laughs)
That’s a good one, shame I never saw it before.
Rodney’s a legend, he’s the closest thing to a modern Groucho Marx, but with his own unique comedy style too.
“Hey, nice kid there. Now I know why some animals eat their young.”
I loved that goofy song as a kid.
A video game fan, a family man, a movie star, and a great pal…
He was a rare soul indeed.
Robin William we aint never had a friend like him.
Spike is short for Spichael
