Midget, er dwarf, er little people Comedy

So I was watching a movie about 11pm thursday night and caught a seen that would have had me rolling on the floor laughing had everyone in my house been asleep. Two Irish hitmen - Ray (Colin Ferrell) & Ken (Brendan Gleeson) - found themselves in a hotel room with 2 Belgian hookers (yes, both of them had all their limbs) and an American midget. The 4 1/2 of them were sharing stories and 5-grams of cocain. The start of the sceen began with Ray asking the midget if he'd ever considered killing himself because he was a midget - I myself thought that was hilarious, I mean how long did we work together and NEVER think of that (at least I don't think we did). Then the midget got all 'philisophical', describing his belief that an all out war was to ensue between the whites and the blacks - amoung hundreds of other questions, Ray asked him if all the white midgets and all the black midgets would fight each other. The midget, annoyed, said that they would. Well, after some time, Ray & Ken decide to leave and take their "stuff" with them, but not before the midget tried to steal one last line. Well, Ray snatched it up before the midget could get his last snort. It was funny enough seeing a midget snorting coke, and even funnier seeing him get pissed that he didn't get his last line. But what had me in internal stitches was Ray's reaction - he appeared scared that the midget would bite him, so he threatened the midget with a karate chop. The midget called Ray's bluff - "you don't know karate", at which point Ray karate chopped the midget in the neck, which somehow "de-cleated" the midget, who fell a violent 3 feet to the ground. While this is comedy gold in itself, the 3 foot fall looked just like that midget in that Springer clip, which only made me laugh even more. The movie is 'In Bruges'.

DISCLAIMER: I realize that Jack has probably seen this movie 8 times, and could have painted a much better picture than I did here. Having said that, go watch the movie yourself!
