The "Jane Doe" Edition of Fletch came out on DVD today. Absolutely classic. I can't wait to scoop it up later. I've absoltuely beaten that movie into the dirt the past 20 years. This new version is digitally remastered and has some behind the scenes stuff.

In honor of the re-release of this stellar classic, here are some top notch Fletch quotes for today:
Fletch: I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pull rank on you. I didn't want to have to do this. I'm with the Mattress Police. There are no tags on these mattresses. Oh, you've remodeled the garage. Must have cost you hundreds.

Fletch: I'm John.
Gail Stanwyk: Ohhhh, John. [they laugh]
Gail Stanwyk: John who?
Fletch: John Cock... tos... ton.
Gail Stanwyk: That's a beautiful name.
Fletch: Well, it's Scotch/Romanian.
Gail Stanwyk: That's an odd combination.
Fletch: Yeah, well, so were my parents.

Waiter: Excuse me, Senor. You are a member of the club?
Fletch: No, I'm not, I'm with the Underhills.
Waiter: They are left, Senor.
Fletch: It's all right, they'll be back. He went out for his urinalysis.
Waiter: Would you like some drinks, Senor, while you wait? I will put it on the Underhills' bill.
Fletch: Yes, very good. I'll have a Bloody Mary and a steak sandwich and... a steak sandwich, please.

Pan Am Clerk: I'm afraid there is someone sitting next to you.
Fletch: Oh, for... God dawd dawd! Who is it, Mr. Sinlindin?

Stanton Boyd: What kind of a name is Poon?
Fletch: Comanche Indian.

Willy: What the hell you need ball bearings for?
Fletch: Awww, come on guys, it's so simple. Maybe you need a refresher course. Heeeey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.
