"I killed a man with contacts"
This one's a bit long, but it's a scene from "Home Movies." One of the most under-rated cartoons ever.
McGuirk: You poured sugar in Pendlehurst's gas tank?
Brendon: No. Some other kids did, but we ended up getting caught.
McGuirk: So what's the punishment?
Brendon: He's making us do this Scared Straight thing at the prison he used to work at.
McGuirk: Scared Straight? You're already straight.
Brendon: I'm already scared.
McGuirk: I've been to the can a few times, Brendon. That's what we call it, the can. So when you're there, you call it the can, all right?
Brendon: What do you call cans in prison?
McGuirk: You mean, actual cans?
Brendon: Yeah.
McGuirk: Like food? Cans of food?
Brendon: Yeah.
McGuirk: Those are still cans.
Brendon: All right.
McGuirk: Here's another thing Brendon, you've gotta to be the craziest one there.
Brendon: Right
McGuirk: You act like you are insane and people will leave you alone.
Brendon: What? You mean like unstable?
McGuirk: Well yeah, but more. Like over react to something.
Brendon: Oh yeah, like what?
McGuirk: Ok well here's an example. Come up and brush against me. Like walk by. Ready?
Brendon: All right. How do you do...
McGuirk: (crazy) NO! NO, MAN! NO, MAN! NO! I DON'T THINK SO! I DON'T THINK SO! ALL RIGHT?!
Brendon: All right.
McGuirk: (crazy) IS IT?
Brendon: Yeah.
McGuirk: (crazy) IS IT? (normal) See what I mean?
Brendon: That was good.
McGuirk: Freaks you out.
Brendon: Feel my heart. It's pounding.
McGuirk: And here's another thing: make a shiv.
Brendon: Yeah? How do you do that.
McGuirk: I don't know. You find stuff, you make it. You can stab someone with anything.
Brendon: Yeah.
McGuirk: You wear glasses?
Brendon: No.
McGuirk: You wear contacts?
Brendon: No.
McGuirk: You can make a knife out of contacts.
Brendon: Really?
McGuirk: That's what I learned.
Brendon: Wow.
McGuirk: I killed a man with contacts.
Brendon: In the can?
McGuirk: Yeah.
Brendon: Wow.
McGuirk: And the other thing is you can make a knife out of, um, the tags of t-shirts.
Brendon: Like the cloth tags
McGuirk: Yeah because they are a little harder than the material
Brendon: And that's enough ...
McGuirk: To penetrate skin. You just have to find the right spot.
