One of my favorite bits of movie dialogue is when Woody Allen's character in Manhattan touches on the subject of Nazis at a fancy reception he is attending. Issac, his character, asks the question, "Has anybody read that Nazis are going to march in New Jersey, you know? We should go there, get some guys together, you know, get some bricks and baseball bats and really explain things to them", his partner's friend adds, "There was this devastating satirical piece on that on the op-ed page of the
Times. It is devastating." Isaac counters, "Well, a satirical piece in the
Times is one thing, but bricks and baseball bats really gets right to the point." Not convinced his interlocutor suggests that "really biting satire is always better than physical force." Then Isaac (Allen) delivers the killer comedic line, "No, physical force is always better with Nazis. It’s hard to satirize a guy with shiny boots."
