Birds of a Feather (1993)

Sam McMurray: Pierce

Quotes 

• Pierce : He fenced? With his umbrella? How droll. This Penguin will absolutely make your party.

  Veronica Vreeland : You know, it was quite touching, actually. I-It's not often that a man rushes to my rescue. Unfortunately, he wants to see me again.

• Pierce : [shackled to the floor]  What is this?

  The Penguin : The end of the show, when the fat bird sings!

• Commissioner James Gordon : I assure you, we have every available resource on the street...

  Pierce : It's times like these that I wonder why we pay you people at all!

  Commissioner James Gordon : [grabs Pierce]  Listen, you simpering little twit! You were foolish enough to invite the Penguin, now it's HIS party!

• Pierce : Penguin, is that you? It's Pierce. I've got the money.

  The Penguin : I knew I could count on your kind.

  Pierce : Right. I'll just leave it here, and you can pick it up at your convenience.

  The Penguin : Not quite, my friend. Take exactly one step out of the booth, turn left, and start walking.

  Pierce : How far?

  The Penguin : You'll know when you get there.

  [doing so, Pierce screams as he falls down an open manhole] 

• Bruce Wayne : I've heard you're running around with a dangerous crowd.

  Veronica Vreeland : Well, keep it under your hat, Brucie, but I've just snagged the Penguin for my party.

  Bruce Wayne : Why?

  Pierce : For the entertainment, dodo. Can't you just see their faces when that stuffed capon waddles in?

  Bruce Wayne : I'd think twice if I were you.

  Pierce : Oh, lighten up, Wayne. After all, he is N-O-K-D; not our kind, dear.

  Bruce Wayne : Better be careful that your little joke doesn't come home to roost.

• Veronica Vreeland : I'm slipping, Pierce. Only 24 invitations this month.

  Pierce : Oh, my dear, you're practically out. It's high time you threw a party, and make it the biggest bash ever.

  Veronica Vreeland : Yes, yes, but how? I'm out of charities until spring at least, and there are no interesting celebrities.

  Pierce : Hmm. Remember when the Joker crashed Muffy Vanalten's last affair? He robbed us blind, but, hey, what a giggle, hmm?

  Veronica Vreeland : Yeah, it was amusing. But the Joker's yesterday's news.

  Pierce : [showing her a newspaper article on the Penguin's release]  Then have a peek at today's.

  Veronica Vreeland : Ooh. I love it!

• Pierce : [Penguin overhears]  Oh, will you relax? You've done him a favor.

  Veronica Vreeland : But, Pierce...

  Pierce : You said it yourself. That fat bird would never get invited to a party like this, not with those clothes, that waddle, those flippers.

  Veronica Vreeland : Oswald!

  The Penguin : Did she mention my fine Roman nose?
