“Look, barkeeper, I'm a peaceful man. Fairly normal. I don't sniff armpits or wear ladies' underwear. But everywhere I go, somebody is pushing shots at me, they give me no rest. Why is this?-I think you got it comin' somehow.-Well, Eddie, you stop thinking and see if you can fix me a double vodka and tonic, touch of lime.-We don't got no lime.-Yeah, you have. I can see it from here.-That lime's not for you-Yeah? Who's it for? Elizabeth Taylor? Now, if you want to sleep in your own bed tonight, I'll have that lime. In my drink. Pronto.””
