Caddyshack Airing This Evening TGC

[Joe Bausch]

The sign, and the t-shirt, are just awesome.

[Tom Yost]

the 2nd and 3rd place prizes in the caddie tournament were a bag of tees and socks -- not sure which was which. 

That shot of the prize table always cracked me up how the initial camera angle portrays what seems to be a huge trophy, but as the camera pulls back you realize it's only about 6" tall.

[PThomas]

"last time i saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it"!

[Martin Del Vecchio]

Did they show any of the missing clips? Like the one where Murray comes riding up on the big mower?
And I assume it's safe to say they deleted the "Do you do drugs Danny" line.

One site I found says that the mower scene is not in the theatrical release, but is added for TV showings.

Here it is:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQjqvEktoSo

[Eric Smith]

Along with the obvious great lines from the film,  the subtle humor found in Caddyshack is top notch. 

For instance, keep your eyes on Czervik's Bushwood member friend Drew Scott, the balding dude, in the scene where they're all gathered around the pool table bickering. Ty's pouring drinks and the judge is 'demanding satisfaction' and they decide to play the match, "I'll shoot ya 18 holes for 10,000 bucks".

From the very start of the scene, he (Mr. Scott) is trying to get a look at Czervik's girlfriend's cleavage, then schmoozing up beside her, fidgiting with his tie, caressing her arms, being a smooth operator.  Very funny 

[Craig Sweet]

Last year we had a kid working for us on the maintenance crew named Danny Noonan...so he shows up for the first day of work and introduces himself to me..."Hi, I'm Danny Noonan" and I shot back, "Do you take drugs Danny?"...and he comes right back at me..."Everyday!"....

[Mike Benham]

Here is the actual aforemention butchered quote:

Al Czervik: What're we, waiting for these guys? Hey Whitey, where's your hat?
Judge Smails: Do you mind, sir. I'm trying to tee off.
Al Czervik: I'll bet you a hundred bucks you slice it into the woods.
Judge Smails: Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir, and I never slice.

As noted earlier, the Judge had a very modern swing, hitting against a stiff left leg which if anything, made a slice his miss. 

Much like Tiger, his swing prevented him from going left, and as we all know, most of the trouble at Bushwood was on the leftside of each hole, a feature that Jack Nicklaus picked up on during his initial tour of the property that he later incorporated into his design philosophy.

[Craig Sweet]

Wow! That Quotable Caddy Shack was selling for $380 back then...now it's probably more expensive than Doak's Confidential Guide....

[SoLa_in_NoIll]

Historical figures (including those given):

Bob Hope
Sonja Henne
Dalai Lama
Einstein
The Zen Philosopher Basho
Benihana
Nixon
Amelia Earhart
Son of Sam
Dick Cavett

Another state:  New York (Lacy is visiting us from New York this summer.)

Another country:  Vietnam (Ty says he brought back most of that stuff from Vietnam.  "You were in the war?  Uh, no.  Homo (grabbing his leg).")

[Tony_Chapman]

Shivas -- I never could make out what kind of "bent" grass that was? Do you have the exact word?

[Adrian_Stiff]

i swear three or four of these lines have made into my daily life (at on the golf course or with my buddies)

In that vein:  http://wnymedia.net/podcasts/commonsensevideo/QuotableCaddyshackBillMurrayChevyChase_300k.wmv

You might have to right-click on it to save it to your hard disk.  But it's worth the effort...

Only 3 or 4?

My God, if I had $100 for every time somebody said "I feel like a hundred dollars" ...

My favorites:

What are you, a diabetic?

You're crazy.  That's what they said about Son of Sam....

How 'bout a Fresca?

My dad....never liked you...

St. Copius of Northern......WHERE?!?

Pretty pathetic, Ty.....maybe you Lacy, but for me, there's a subtle perfection in everything I do...

fifty bucks the Smails kid picks his nose......a hundred says he eats it.

"PICK UP THAT BLOOD!"  (probably my favorite)

I wanna a hamburger, no a cheeseburger.

That wouldn't be JON Spaulding, would it?

[Tom Yost]

No guesses as to the amenities of Al's condo complex?  They're listed right there on the billboard he points to, right before they start watching westerns on his Bag-Vision...

Damn Schmitty, you watch the DVD every weekend?   

[JWinick]

As you can see from the dialogue, the ending still doesn't make sense.   How can you do a double-or-nothing bet if the match was tied going into the 18th hole? 

____________________________________________________________
Gentlemen, this match is all even.
Final hole. Doctor, you are away.

Spaulding, this calls for the old Billy Baroo.

This is a biggie!

Don't let me down, Billy!

Forty thousand dollars...Billy!

I knew you'd do it!

"Silver wings upon their chest...
"...these are men, America's best."

Don't worry about this one.
If you miss it, we lose.

Hey, Judge! Double or nothing
he makes it!

Eighty thousand dollars!

What's that, Judge?

You're on!

We're waiting!

Noonan...you can do it!

You lose it, buddy!
     
Fore!

It's a birdie!
         
All right, Smails, that's    grand.
Now fork it over!
       
I'll give you nothing!
Absolutely nothing, you understand!

[Will MacEwen]

A few years ago, someone on ESPN did a breakdown of the match that explained it all - presses, etc.  I will try to find it.

[Jon Spaulding]

I wanna a hamburger, no a cheeseburger.

That wouldn't be JON Spaulding, would it?

I eat neither ......but I do like nice, greasy pork sandwiches served in dirty ash trays.

[David Stamm]

....and on occasion has been seen bent over the sunroof of the odd 911 here and there. It's gotten to the point that no Porsche is safe in Orange County anymore.

Dave, virtually all your questions are so obscure I bet you (or someone) wrote them while watching it for the 17th time.  And no Douglasses?!  I only know a few.

3. The judge is Elhugh.  "Elhugh, will you loofah my stretch marks?"  (Elhue?)
5. Spackler sinks an 8-iron third shot from about 200 yards, meaning he didn't hit either of the first two very well.
17. She wears green so she can hide.

I always thought the grass was Feather Bent, but maybe it is Fedder.

In a somewhat related Hollywood golf note, I played today where a scene was filmed for Dirty Dancing.  Evidently Baby went down to ask her dad for money while he was practicing his putting.  I don't remember that scene.

[Matthew Rose]

I always thought he flubbed the line and said "feather bet" and then "bent" as if to imply that he meant to say "feather bent". That entire scene is improvised, so it could be a small mistake that was left in.

Manganese.... you know a lot of people don't know what that is. Chinch bugs.... (that's great Carl)... Nitrogen

Brilliant deductive reasoning John!

In a somewhat related Hollywood golf note, I played today where a scene was filmed for Dirty Dancing.  Evidently Baby went down ...

I don't remember that scene either !

[Joe Bausch]

Oh, c'mon...somebody here has to know what brand of golf ball Rodney plays. He asks for them and buys them in the shop with the naked lady tees, for crying out loud!

Hmmm, I guess I need to watch the movie for the 53rd time!  But I have a vague recollection it was a Royal.

Has anybody picked up on the Bishop's full name is Fred Pickering?  Perhaps Harold Ramis is a GCA fan. 

[Chip Gaskins]

Danny, you take drugs?

Everyday

So whats the problem?

I don't know, I have to go to college

This isn't Russia, this is Russia, this isn't Russia is it?

[Eric Smith]

Oh, c'mon...somebody here has to know what brand of golf ball Rodney plays. He asks for them and buys them in the shop with the naked lady tees, for crying out loud!

And I'm sure somebody knows what irons the Bishop plays, too...they're quite distinctive and a lot of us played them back then...

"give me some of them vulcan d-10's and set my friend up here with the whole shmeer!"

[Tony_Chapman]

The others that nobody has ever successfully answered (at least, not from memory) are:

15. Whose appointment with Dr. Beeper does he postpone so he can play golf? (although somebody who knows the dialogue cold should be able to get this one because it's in a scene most everybody remembers in the lockerroom)

...move back my appointment with Mrs. Bellows 30 (I think) minutes.

...oh, just snake a tube down her and I'll be there in four or five hours. Testing now...

[Tony_Chapman]

18.  Besides Briar, what are the two other streets referred to in the movie?

Ok, you got me.

I did know one of these though, without looking. "Biggest whore on Fifth Avenue, so I'm told."
