Midnight Run (1988): Arguing over Dinner

The clip arguing over dinner from Midnight Run (1988) with Charles Grodin, Robert De Niro

Familiar with the word "arteriosclerosis"?
Cholesterol?
If you want, I'll outline a complete balanced diet for you.
Mail it to me from "C" block.
Why would you eat that?
Why? 'Cause it tastes good.
But it's not good for you.
I'm aware of that.
Why would you do something you know is not good for you?
Because I don't think about it.
That's living in denial.
Living in denial?
Yeah.
I'm aware of that.
So you're aware of all your behavior.
Yet you do things not good for you. Don't you think that sounds foolish?
No. Stealing $15 million from Jimmy Serrano sounds foolish.
I didn't think I'd get caught.
Now, that's livin' in denial.
I'm aware of that.
So you're aware of your behavior.
Yet you continue to do things that aren't good for you.
Sounds foolish to me. Don't you think?
It was foolish.
But taking $15 million in mob money...
and giving it to charity was good for a lot of people.
So you pissed off a mafiioso killer just to be loved by fuckin' strangers.
That makes a lot of sense.
Don't you want to be loved?
Lots of people love me.
Really?
Who?
I got an ex-wife, and a daughter in Chicago.
How do they put up with all your sarcasm?
Beautifully. I haven't seen either of them in nine years.
Think we should go see them?
No, I don't think we should see them.
Thanks for the interest, though.
The job must have been tough on 'em.
I didn't do this then.
What did you do?
I was a cop.
You were a cop in Chicago?
Then you know about Jimmy Serrano.
