KURT VONNEGUT 1922-2007

From Back to School (1986):

DIANE
And whoever actually wrote that paper doesn't
know the first thing about Kurt Vonnegut.

CUT TO:

Thornton is on the phone.

THORNTON
And another thing Vonnegut, I'm cancelling
the check.

(beat)

Fuck me?

(beat)

Hey Kurt, you read lips? Fuck you!


Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
1922-2007

Vonnegut was the influential author of over 19 satirical novels including the Slaughterhouse Five, Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions and Mother Night. He also had a brilliant cameo as himself opposite Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School, but I doubt he found it as amusing as I did.
