Just saw "The Life Aquatic," again by Wes Anderson with Bill Murray again and just had to mention a line in it that I think everyone on this board can relate to:
Its the scene where they get to Jeff Goldblum's research facility and start looting it and then Bill Murray walks outside and one of his team members is fishing off of it.  Bill Murray is in kind of a rushed state and all of the sudden stops and politely asks the guy fishing, "Catch anything?"
How many times when you are taking a walk on the beach with your girlfriend or wife and "happen" to see a pier or a jetty and someone fishing off of it and you immediately forget anything she is talking about and start to think, "I wonder if he's caught anything" and you just have to ask the question, "Catch anything" as if you were to gain some secret knowledge.
Anyways thought I'd share the thought, just a great line from a great movie.

Being an honorable sportsman is way more important than what you catch.

Love that movie.
Funny, I always laughed right at that part, just because it seems like talking to his teammate about how the fishing is takes priority, even though there are security alarms going off and everyone else has their arms full of pillaged equipment.

I also always laugh at the much later related scene in which Goldblums character comes across his own espresso machine aboard the Belefonte & asks the bond stooge (well played by Bud Cort) :
"How did you get my espresso machine?"

And the polite answer is:

"well, uh,...we f****in stole it , man."
pronounced "Pie-see-in"
