And I Taught His Best Friend's Sons
Couplehood, which I purchased in hardcover at Strand for $5 starts on page 145. Paul Reiser explains, "It's just that when I'm reading, I love being smack in the middle of the book. Pages behind me, pages ahead of me. It's too overwhelming to know there's so much left and you're only on page 8. This way, you can read the book for two minutes, and if anybody asks how far along you are you can say, "I'm on 151- and it's really flying. It just sails, baby." You'll feel like you're accomplishing something, and I get credit for writing a bigger book. Everybody wins, and it costs us nothing."
Trivia Q - In what film is Reiser's character always being kind of passive aggressive/apologetic, doing things like asking for a ride, but "only if you're going that way anyhow," or eying a sandwich that he'd be happy to finish but "only if you weren't going to eat it anyway?"

Was it Diner?
We have a winner. Someone get one of those stuffd bears for Esqcapades! I think that was his first movie role. Good movie - IMHO.
While I'm here - throw out a few more trivia Qs?
1. Who sang Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy on The Tonight Show and was told by Johnny Carson that she was going to be a star?
2. In what 2 movies does a parent tell an offspring to watch out for the undertow?
3. What movie's commercial had a cast member sing, "I don't mean to boast but you'll dig it the most?"
4. In the original "Taking of Pelham 1,2,3" what gives the criminal mastermind away at the end?
5. In Harry and Tonto, who or what is Tonto?
Number 1 and part of 2 I know without looking: The Divine Miss M - Bette Midler for #1. And anyone who went to Jones Beach as a child knows what John Irving meant in The World According to Garp about looking out for the under toad. I can't go to beach without thinking about it!
Correct on both counts. I thought the other undertow line would be guessed first - if my memory is serving me right it was in a more recent, more popular movie than Garp.
#3. The Lords of Flatbush (Flatbush, Flatbush, Flatbush... Rated PG.)
