CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Melvin (Jack Nicholson) meets a female fan (Julie Benz) and manages to insult her almost immediately.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
James L. Brooks (Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News) directed this $50 million-plus romantic comedy, set in Manhattan. Dysfunctional, acid-tongued romance novelist Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson), who suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder, takes pride in his ability to offend. At a nearby cafe, the only waitress willing to stand up to his sarcastic tirades is Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt), a single mother struggling to raise her chronically asthmatic son. In Melvin's West Village apartment building, talented contemporary artist Simon Nye (Greg Kinnear) lives across the hall from Melvin. Simon is the current darling of the New York art world, reason enough to draw Melvin's verbal fire, but Simon's gay lifestyle is further grist for the novelist's malicious mill. These three New Yorkers, none of whom appears to have a chance in hell at finding true happiness, discover their fates intertwined because of the fourth complicated character in the piece, Verdell, a tiny Brussels Griffon dog (played by newcomer Jill, after a 15-week training program). Melvin seems to have no friends or family, and he lives alone, working on his 62nd book. When Simon goes into the hospital after a brutal mugging, Melvin has to take care of Verdell, and the dog actually warms Melvin's cold heart -- to the degree that he sets up unsolicited medical care for Carol's son. Eventually, Melvin is cornered into driving Simon and Carol to Baltimore, and during a hotel stopover, Melvin confesses to Carol, "You make me want to be a better man." The trip becomes an odyssey of self-realization for all three. Locations included Brooklyn's Prospect Park (Carol's neighborhood) and Greenwich Village (where Melvin's building is on 12th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues). Other exteriors were shot in downtown Los Angeles, where a dilapidated transient hotel at the corner of 4th Street and Main was transformed into the chic cafe where Carol works. Sets for the Simon/Melvin apartment interiors were erected on a soundstage at the Sony Pictures lot. Simon's paintings were created for the film by New York artist Billy Sullivan, whose work is part of the modern art collection at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

I saw this movie when I was 17, I thought that was an OK joke.
Now in my 40’s, it prophetic wisdom.
Lol
😂😂
then you have become dumb its just a joke your now taking seriously based on your confirmation bias
A lot of guys here in the comments who say it's true are in their 40s.
I think that has to do with their experiences with middle age women. Often they take on a masculine air and aggression. They become impatient and cranky, i.e. less reasonable. They blame everyone else more for everything, i.e. personally unaccountable. And there you have it: they start to resemble men minus reason and accountability - more so than the younger women.
So lesson to ladies: Remember your sweetness and empathy and don't be Karens! And the world will be a better place, and Mr Udall will be proven wrong.
@evenmorenonsense Not middle aged women..75% of ALL women have problems with accountability.
"I think of a man... And I take away reason and accountability."
The best line ever.
Doesn't matter who said "I think of a man...And I take away reason and accountability." It is an hilarious and a true statement.
and he's so on the money too.
4th wave feminism in a nutshell.
BASED AND REDPILLED
And true
The writers deserve an Oscar for that line alone.
Try that today and it wouldn't even get mentioned, except in a negative way as more proof of the white male privileged patriarchy that must be stamped out by woke Hollywood!
They are probably cancelled now
@@the.parks.of.no.return take away reason and accountability....
You sir deserve a Pulitzer for writing that comment with a straight face
It's from author John Updike
As much as the punchline is epic and will forever be remembered on the pages of cinematic history, I can't help but appreciate the delivery of "Oh, God, this is like a nightmare...".
Because it rings so true
That line funnier than the entire MCU movies’ humors
It's funny because it's true.
Phase 4 and 5 you mean also sprinkle a bit of phase 3 here & there

Now it's all i can see! Spot on!!
Right?!
Chuckled at this line when it first came out, but now i've just watched it again and after twenty years of being married, i'm in tears from laughing so hard. That was brilliant.
Its funnier because of how true it is. I was a kid when it first came out but watching it now it being inarguably factual makes it funnier.
Damn! This comment. 😂
The one joke that never gets and ages better than any wine...This line is among the greatest ever; probably the greatest.
Left out "old".
“I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability” That line never gets old! 😂😂😂.
Such a classic quote
It's like wine..
You must be a transgender man..men are sensitive I think they don't talk about the feels..
@@sea9994 Transgender? bwahaha. Men don’t talk about their feels because no one cares.
It gets better as our insane gynocracy spirals ever more out of control
Jack Nicholson delivered this so legendarily that i now understand why people consider him to be one of the best actors out there.
"I take away reason and accountability."
Possibly the most accurate line that's ever been written.
The older I get and the more interactions I have with woman, the more this quote has the ring of truth.
Gazerich Because your judgement isn't clouded by hormones , to simplify it .
+Heimdall all seeing testosterone isn't a hormone?
a woman born in blood It is, just a better one
Amen to that.
After 40, this quote made perfect sense to me. Before that, I didn't get it.
One of the best "Get Rekt" moments in movies.
You all sound lonely and bitter af
@@learntospellpeople You must be a woman then.
@@learntospellpeople You sound like you've never been in a relationship.
@@learntospellpeople stay butthurt 😂
@@learntospellpeople
You literally come here and comment, so what does that make you?
One of the greatest, most scarily accurate lines of dialogue ever put in a movie.
My god, as I am now almost 40, his answer seems so accurate. It no longer seems like an insult from a bitter man. It sounds like the words of someone who has figured it out.
The people around you say a lot more about who you are as a person than who they’re meant to represent...

@@OsirisMawn Obviously family can be an exception, especially when you're younger. But I'm more so referring to friends and partners and such. People gravitate towards people who they can relate to in some way or another, whether they recognize this or not.
Such an elegant insult.
Indeed.
It's hilarious!
“ *I feel like...* “
Is it an insult if it might be fact though? Eve did eat that apple
shut up @@MarianMurphy-rz8ej
Never has there been spoken a more truthful line in the history of film.
😂
Jack's face turning before he delivered that line is so hilarious, that devilish eyebrows and grin alone signaled that he knew he gonna strike that encounter perfectly 😂
*"I think of a man, and I take away reason & accountability."*
That response is one of the most based lines to ever be spoken. Very true as well.
"oh God, this is like a nightmare" 😂😂
Love that wee tidbit before he home runs her with "reason and accountability" the whole script in this movie was 10/10 as was everyone who delivered it performance wise
A true classic
Not only the best line in the whole movie but also very, very true.
Believe me, after 15 years of marriage that line has been proven true for me time and again.
That does not follow, boi.
Getting married is equivalent to placing your testicles in a vicegrip. She better be the girl of your dreams who will stick with you through thick and thin and who won't divorce you as soon as things get rough. Otherwise you don't get married. Only losers sign over their future children and 1/2 their earnings to anything less.
Do you hate your mother as well by any chance?
Lol, amen to that fella 😅. It's such a brilliant line, but as you say it's also been proven time and again to you, and to all of us in a relationship 😉. Women, can't live with them, can't live without them 😁
@@trevorfranks69 I'd think that his mother wouldn't have anything to gain. Dunce.
My favorite line from Nicholson. He nailed it.
He just described the whole new wave feminism movement in a single line. Brilliant.
BINGO!! It was music to my ears, the feminism/metoo movements get absolutely served with this iconic line
@@m_jay5 you sound like you are scare of your wife or wife mate
New? Feminism has been like this since women wanted to vote for nothing in exchange. That turned out sooo well for civilization...

She asked him. He delivered.
"Yeah, good, nice, thrilled, exciting, eh you don't have to wait with me."
This is depressingly accurate.
Depressingly?! On the contrary. If you understood that, you will be free of the stupidity of relationships 😄
@@jaironunez7196 depressing because it runs counter to the narrative that young boys are raised with. not to mention that by the time you figure this out, you probably wasted a lot of time on women who don't deserve it
@@shezyam460 yep and yep some more.
That line would literally get the writers, the actors, the producers and the director fired and cancelled today, as well as the entire lot the studio is on burnt to the ground. Hilarious and brilliant line
I don’t think you get it, Jack Nicholson is playing a jerk. That’s the whole point of the movie. Did you even watch it?
That’s why they couldn’t have a “good guy” say it, but antiheroes and villains are not so constrained. Subtle mouthpieces for inconvenient facts.
@@danielpack7675 oh that's actually a good point. I'll think of this whenever I consoome media from now on
Nope, I dont think so. jacks character is most certainly homophobic and sexistic at first, but he changes drastically over the course of this film. The message of the movie is quite the opposite of what udall says in this scene

God asked Adam, "What is wrong with you?" Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman. God said, "This person will gather food for you, cook for you, and when you discover clothing she'll wash it for you. She will always agree with everything you say. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it." Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?" God replied, "An arm and a leg." Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?" The rest is history...

........and I'm not in your shitty BLM country, pal.

The look on Nicholson's face when he turns to address her question: I'm thinking: 'Here it comes!'
Julie Benz seems like such a sweetheart,couldn't be more adorable.
She is so young here. 23-25 years old
I wondered who she is. Thanks for answering! She's perfectly cast.
Over 20 years later, I finally know exactly what he means, and no truer words have been spoken in a movie.
One of the best quotes from one of the greatest films ever made. I so miss the days of good, well written films.
The greatest line in any movie, ever. It will never not be true.
A simple example with my wife to demonstrate this truth:
Our recycle container gets picked up once a week but has limited space. So, when I get something delivered in a large cardboard box I break it down before disposing to conserve space, because otherwise we’ll run out. My wife just puts the box in the receptacle as-is. My wife does not REASON.
Within a few days the recycling bin is overflowing due to the large box (if I ever catch it I’ll break it down my self, but sometimes I don’t) and my wife is complaining that there is never any room in the bin. I tell her that it is her fault for not breaking down the large box; she deflects and says that she “forgot” or doesn’t “have time for that.” My wife lacks ACCOUNTABILITY.
So yeah, this is spot-on.
Did you also lack reason when she chose to marry you? Seems like it.
You chose to marry this person, it's your fault lol
you're marrying this girl, you're also lack accountability
Lotta people mad at this but pay them no mind. Because yes you married her but no one here is saying where to find these mythical reasonable and accountable woman
@@Doomthinkingman And who says you need to chose either between reasonable and accountable women, or unreasonable and inaccountable women?
Who says it's impossible for women to be reasonable and accountable and if so, what is their support for that view?
It comes off as yet another man who finds it difficult to communicate with his spouse of his chosing.
This argument that every woman on the planet is his wife, is just not something that intelligent people buy.
This movie came out when I was 15 and I had no idea what that line meant. I’m almost 40 now and I know exactly what he’s talking about.
Same. I thought it was hilarious just because she got rekt but I thought he was saying she had no reason for existing or something. I later realized it was one of the most profoundly true cinema lines I'd ever hear.
@@michaeljames6817 read the unplugged alpha by rich cooper
@mike james read the unplugged alpha by rich cooper
I was 17 at the time... And this line hit me like a ton of bricks. I fully understood what he meant. And it made me realize right there that I never wanted to get married in my entire life. Too much unnecessary drama for a guy like me hahahaha.
At 1:05, when Nicholson flicks the back of his shirt. Brilliant.
What do you think is brilliant about it?
The way he smiles as he says it is perfect.
And then her face as it sinks in. 🤣
One of the often-overlooked aspects of his genius craft in this scene is how he springs into the elevator and instinctively stands a little too close to the man inside, as if to say "oh my goodness, yes! A man. A safe place! My tribe..." and then separates once he is aware of how awkwardly close he is. It was a master class in the physical signalling of his psyche.
I think it was more of him taking his usual place/spot in the elevator and then recognizing he is too close to another person and instinctively moves away to a safe space..... agree to disagree, I suppose....
Nah I I agree with the latter.
He's misanthropic toward everyone - not really a masculine tribalist. The character in this movie is quite anti-social generally and has some autistic spectrum type tics and OCD.
He had ocd in the movie and couldn't stand contact/contamination from others.
Everyone wants to talk about the "writing about women" thingy. What I love about this scene is a writer's awkwardness to everything. Even when he gets into the elevator.
Because he is awkward with people, as you can bet all the people in this comment section can relate to.

@@beakfordclakington1337 "Protected gynocentrism" is social awkwardness aswell you m0ron.
Might be the single greatest line in motion picture history! 😂
I love how that powerful woman was reduced to a petulant teenager as she stomped off.
This movie should be declared a National treasure. I think it's one of the best quotes in any movie of all time. And it's 100% true.
The enthusiastic way that Jack delivers that line brings one word to mind - *OUCH!*
2022 here, this statement is more relevant now than ever!!!
It took a lot of life experience to understand the truth of what he said
As true as it gets.
Maybe is not politically correct what he said, but its absolute true, especially the accountability part
The older i get, the more this makes sense
That delivery, perfect
I didn’t understand this scene very well as a child…how times have changed 😂
I'm 26 years on from when this movie was made, and I understand what he says completely.
As much as women I've watched this with hate this line... they've all admitted to me it's sadly true, and it actually works in novel-writing.
Since 1999 I’ve watched this movie over 100 times . Jack is my hero .😍
As a woman, I dare say even I have to agree with his statement. We as women a lot of times can be unreasonable and we definitely don't accountability when we do wrong. My mother for instance was a spoiled brat growing up and became a selfish, cold woman. Eventually as a result of that, a lot of her family never really spoke to her much anymore. She of course, swore up and down to anyone naive enough to listen that they betrayed her and did her wrong, meanwhile obviously that wasn't true. At least they got out. I wasn't so lucky, at first anyway. I had to put up with her childish behavior, doing ridiculous things for her like cooking her meals, with a microwave, not a stove for the record. I had to do her laundry and even if she was right upstairs from the basement to get her laundry, she would call me from all the way upstairs in my room to go down there and get it. It was ridiculous. She would also berate and abuse any good man that came into her life and thankfully for them, they had the smarts to leave her. And if that wasn't bad enough, she married a man who would verbally abuse and at one point put his hands on me. When I told her about it, she of course denied and quite honestly didn't really care, but she just didn't wanna admit it, out loud anyway. Then, to add insult to injury, she would recruit my father to defend her as though she were his daughter instead of me and he defends her like there's no tomorrow. Eventually, I got out and as it turns out, he started abusing her. People tell her to leave, but naturally, she doesn't care what others think and stays with his behind. I'm like it serves her right. People say I'm mean for that, but I don't care. I hold her accountable for her own actions and problems she has caused herself the same way I would hold a man accountable. She's an adult and needs to start acting like one. It's karma biting her. It doesn't always come when you call, but it's always on time. Women do have a lot of growing up to do, especially mentally. Hate if you want to, but if you do it's only because you know it's true.
Great. Your taking your first steps into a larger world....
Speak for yourself. Most people doing dumb things for no reason are men, that's why they don't live as long.
Yeah, I think the spoiled brat part is key here. When I was growing up, I got told boys don't cry and to man up and own my actions and pay for them. While plenty of girls around me were raised well, there were also plenty who got consoled any time the tears came out, whether the tears were justified or not. We're too kind to women when they exhibit bad behavior, and should redirect that kindness to giving them even more when they show good behavior. If we don't, we get dozens of adults in everyone's life who are entitled, especially when their emotions are negative. I'm not saying don't console your daughter, I'm just saying don't console her when it was her actions that directly brought her the result making her cry.
1:05 what he does with his collar. This is reason # 1,203, 435 why he's one of the greats. I love watching his detail.

Would love to have seen this one at the theatre to witness the reaction from the audience.
It was 1997, you would have heard some laughs and thats it.
now if it was 2023... no we got ourselves some entertainment
this movie is timelessly funny
Fun fact: that receptionist is played by Julie Benz, who later voiced Miranda Keyes in Halo 2.
She was also great in Angel, and later, Dexter..
I'll never forget the muffled laughs from guys in the theater. Mine included .🤣
His greatest role among many great roles…the expression on his face and body language when he first turns around is comedic brilliance and clearly sets the tone for the utter shock and disappointment she’s about to find herself in
I'm a female and I find this funny and sadly true with some friends...
PrayerWarrior4 I agree
he's not talking about the Proverbs 31 woman of noble character (VERY rare person indeed

Ill be honest, im glad this type of conversation exists. I'm glad dudes are sharing their experiences. It shows me what not to do and how to be a better wife for my guy.
I appreciate the mens mental health movement for starting these types of conversations, because its pretty damn unanimous every time ive seen or heard a guy talk about what hurt him the most? The cause 99.9% of the time was a woman. So thanks for speaking up and helping some of us do better 👍
It's just a line. Excellent because it makes us laugh. And it makes us laugh because it talks about a cliché. The one about the man who complains about women. Stupid like all clichés.
@@duebraccia why do you think cliches exist? They are based off of reality. Are they always reality? No, but in this case, yes
@@starshine9662 Listen, the line is super hilarious but doesn't say the truth. It's a male brain's clichè.
@@duebraccia why do you think cliches exist in the first place?
@@starshine9662 I certainly believe that clichés exist.
Firstly because they help us laugh about life and find some comfort.
But you certainly cannot decide about your life based on a cliché.

Don’t insult Rita or you’ll regret it. 😂
teenage me* laughed
midlife me* cries
Never a truer word spoken!
Thats the best line. I ever heard. In the history. Of my life.
One reason it is so funny is because it is absolutely true. When was the the last time a woman in your life apologized and owned up to something she did wrong? The flip side of that is I think attributable to Buddy Hackett who said the reason why his marriage turned out successfully was because every morning he would wake up, shut off the alarm clock, roll over to face his wife and say “Honey, I’m sorry.”
I had a situation with a female clerk in the store about the price of an item.
Because she wrung up my item as a different item and so I had to go and check again and came back to the counter no that's not the right price.
She went to check and said that "you had the wrong item" yet she gave me back some change.
So I went back took a picture with my phone and showed it with the item in my bag.
She said "I gave your change sir you can go".
She refused to admit she was wrong at all even when confronted with the evidence.
The male ones would've sade my bad if they mad such a mistake.
When I saw this movie for the first time, this scene made me laugh harder than any other movie I've ever seen.
I think of a man... And I take away reason and accountability.
Line of the century.
That was funny, but unfortunately at the same time it's true. You can't reason with most women a lot of the time and they definitely don't take accountability for their actions or lack thereof. And furthermore, society doesn't hold them accountable for their actions either and even if they do, they merely get a slap on the wrist.
Why attempt the impossible?
@Kimberlee Ponson Nah, just the men you're able to pull.
@Kimberlee Ponson Tell that to all the men who get sent to jail.
@Kimberlee Ponson women will never be equal until they start accepting responsibility for what
they say and do.... but they have no experience at it. have your female dominated society but
you will lose your cherished right to blame men for everything.
Frederica Bimble No, it’s not the same, but thanks for proving the point of the quote.
I’m surprised CZcams still allows this to be up in 2022.
*True for **_most_** women. Thankfully, my wife is an exception. Very feminine but very reasonable and never blame shifts.*
*Sadly, our youngest generations are being raised solely by women so now even so-called "men" (those with testicle) are becoming more and more unreasonable and unaccountable for their actions or lack thereof.*
If younger generations are truly unreasonable, where do you suppose that they learned it from?
It is dead on accurate for women that think he understands women. Why would other women be offended?
Every other joke gets less funny the more you hear it..this joke: every year that passes, this joke gets funnier every time
except this isn't a joke.. it's truth.
@@Bluesmiley05that's what makes it funny.
😄😄😄😄 Melvin s face at 01:28
Can people imagine that line today? The movie would be dragged through social media and the director cancelled!
Having a daughter I hate myself for laughing... but I also have an ex wife and I remember why I am. Then I cry.
Damn, that's profoundly tragic. Hope you're doing OK man :)
I hope you helped raise your daughter the right way then.
Best part of the video was the elevator ping after Jack's insult.
Makes you really appreciate old Hollywood, doesn't it? Everything so crisp and well timed!
Twas a simpler time
It’s not an insult. He’s telling her the truth.
Every time I have to deal with the illogical maddening bullshit of women, I think of this scene and laugh on the inside
I cry
So many people here getting this line twisted. It’s not about men blaming women for a man’s failure. It’s about women being emotional and being allowed to not hold themselves accountable for a woman’s failure.
That line will always be true.
Sadly, where I work the majority of the employees are women. The horror, the horror.
As memorable as that line was, looking back at this scene, the girl who played the receptionist was spot on. Yet, if she hadn't played her part so well, I don't think that line, however brilliant, would have had as much impact.
Yeah, she played the gormless self-absorbed bimbo, to a tee. Maybe it was down to the director.
One of my favorite top 5 movies. Jack is totally awesome!!!!! Great movie!!!!
