    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The building shown as the "Cotton Mather Inn" is actually on MGM's lot, known as the "Girl's School", probably because it served that purpose for the films Forty Little Mothers (1940) and Three Daring Daughters (1948). The structure was notably used in Tea and Sympathy (1956) and The Cobweb (1955), where it was a psychiatric clinic.
    • Goofs
      (at around 5 mins) When the old lady, who steals the cab from Henry, closes the door, a cameraman, camera, tripod, and microphone are all reflected clearly.
    • Quotes
      • [Henry is complaing about how hard it is to get a cab in New York]
      • Feinberg: You're just like my wife, mister. You don't understand the economics of the situation.
      • Henry Tyroon: Then teach me. I'm interested in the economics of about every situation.
      • Feinberg: Well, there are 11,000 cabs in the city - and no new permits for the next twenty-five years. Now suppose you wanna buy a cab and start hackin'... you gotta get a new permit, too. Now the tab on a new permit is eighteen thousand five hundred on the open market.
      • Henry Tyroon: And how much did your cab cost, Mister
      • [looks at driver's ID]
      • Henry Tyroon: Feinberg?
      • Feinberg: Thirty-three hundred... new.
      • Henry Tyroon: Mm-hmm. Then that makes your investment, uh, with the permit, come to about $22,000.
      • Feinberg: Yeah. But don't tell my wife... she'll think I'm rich.
      • Henry Tyroon: Mm-hmm. Mr. Feinberg, I'll give you $24,000 for your cab and permit.
      • Feinberg: You wanna buy the cab?
      • Henry Tyroon: Right. But you come along with it. I'll need your services for a week, maybe two.
      • Feinberg: No, look, mister, I can't sell the cab. I need it.
      • Henry Tyroon: Well, I figured that. So, when I leave I'll sell it back to you for... $22,000.
      • Feinberg: You wanna lose two grand just to keep your feet dry when it starts to rain?
      • Henry Tyroon: I don't lose, Mr. Feinberg. See, I borrow the money and then I get a deduction on the loan interest and another on the depreciation and another on the loss when I sell it back to you. And you make a nice profit.
      • Feinberg: You win and I win. Uh-uh, there's gotta be a loser somewhere.
      • Henry Tyroon: Taxman loses. He usually does on a Henry Tyroon deal.
      • Feinberg: Mister, you've just got yourself a taxi.
