3. I was in a local production of "GGR" about fourteen years ago.

I played the detective, who only has a small role in the second act, so I was mostly a spectator. I got to watch the reaction of the audience. Our theater company was a gypsy company, meaning we performed wherever we could shanghai a stage. We did "GGR" in the best known little theater in town, a place that usually ran Agatha Christie mysteries and old reliables like "The Importance Of Being Earnest" for the blue-haired ladies that were its main patronesses.

You should have seen all the shocked old faces in the audience. Every night of the run, I counted up the walk-outs. In one performance alone, we had probably fifteen. The director had even put a profanity warning on the publicity posters. I guess no one read it. There were a lot of complaints to the theater board...

It is a must-see for ANYONE who works (or who's ever worked, or who thinks they might like to work) in high-pressure sales.

9. "What's your name?"

"FUCK YOU. That's my name."

Greatest ten minutes of any movie ever. This scene is a motivator for just about anything you might want to do.
