Quote from Two of a Kind

Dutch: Oh, my God. You know, but I think my favorite story is, we were cleaning the carpets at Caesars Palace. I met Don Rickles.
All: No!
Tag: [mockingly to Mike] No.
Mike: Did he say "Don Rickles"? Maybe we should go in there.
Tag: You don't want to go in there. It's boring.
Dutch: [laughter] So, anyway... I go back in to pick up the steam cleaner. Rickles thinks I'm the waiter. So I didn't want to correct Don Rickles, so I said, "May I take your order, sir?" And he says...
Tag: Oh, you can take my order. I'll have a large plate of "shut your trap." [laughter]
Mike: Wait! What did Rickles say?!
Tag: Who cares? Listen to him going on there. "Blah, blah, blah." You have no idea what it's like, Mike.
Mike: Oh, I got some idea.
