Admittedly I was talking out of my ass and hadn't given the weight of my words much consideration before spewing senseless and incorrect drivel upon the forum. Watching MIB again seemed the right thing to do and quite honestly I totally forgot how much Rip Torn's humor (brilliantly delivered totally straight faced I might add) added to the movie (as opposed to having taken away from the movie as I originally and incorrectly thought) and offer up this as being the most memorable scene from the movie and the one I always held closest to my heart. Rip Torn is indeed very funny and no doubt a top 10 comedic talent today.
^Takes me right back to being 17 again (pretty sure MIB came out a year after ID4 on the same holiday weekend {4th of July})
