... you can learn from:
Cannonball Run II(1984)
Don Don Canneloni: Hymie Kaplan.What a surprise. Ooh, ohh, wow. You look great.So, what brings you to the Pinto Ranch?Business or pleasure?Hymie Kaplan: May I have a chair?Don Don Canneloni: Oh, certainly.
Don Don Canneloni: Oh. It's business.
Oh, Charles Nelson Reilly. What do we make of Charles Nelson Reilly today? He was a fixture of my childhood in movies like this and on game shows, mincing around, always the joke, but really the only gay around. Is he the gay Sidney Poitier? No definitely not - he's more of our Stepin Fetchit I suppose, but I always liked him all the same and I still do. I'm certainly more Charles Nelson Reilly than I am Neil Patrick Harris. Anyway Chuck would've turned 86 today if he hadn't died a decade back. (He looked I posted about it at the time.) He will not be forgotten!
