I just saw the movie "Harold and Maude" I'd strongly suggest it if you havn't seen it before. There's a scene where he ruins a beautiful new jaguar...but i wont spoil it.

After last night's lecture, someone commented to me that I must be an army brat because I had such fantastic teeth. Such teeth, he said, could only be the result of good breeding and access to the finest dental care. I explained that though I descend from a long line of Bulgarian nobility, when I was a boy people were still having infected teeth removed by a donkey tied to a rope. Happenstance, I explained to him, is the main reason behind Mustafio's distinguished countenance.
No body tries to shut up the liars. They only put their all in shutting up the truth. It's finally begun. They're watching everyone.....
