Mr. Cimoli Quotes in The Fortune Cookie (1966)

Willie Gingrich: Now tell me, Mr. Cimoli, exactly how did you break your hip?

Mr. Cimoli: It's my *pelvis*!

Willie Gingrich: All right, your pelvis. How did it happen?

Mr. Cimoli: Well I was coming out of the store, and there it was on the sidewalk.

Willie Gingrich: What?

Mr. Cimoli: [Shows Gingrich a banana peel] This.

Willie Gingrich: I see. And you were coming out of *what* store?

Mr. Cimoli: Nat's Delicatessen, on Euclid Avenue.

Willie Gingrich: Too bad.

Mr. Cimoli: Oh, such pain.

Willie Gingrich: I mean too bad it didn't happen further down the street in front of the May Company. From *them* you can collect. Couldn't you have dragged yourself another twenty feet?
