For a not insignificant chunk of my teenage years, I thought the closing lines of Chinatown were: "I'm the one out there every day putting his ass on the line. And I'm not out of order! You're out of order! The whole freaking system is out of order! You want the truth? You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! 'Cause when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo that was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do! Forget it Marge, it's Chinatown!"

Sam Wasson鈥檚 book on the making of Chinatown is an absolute must-read
