      Somewhat famously this line (the entire soliloquy actually) was improvised by Rutger Hauer in the moment, so not strictly written down. Just taking the piss mate, best fucking movie ever!

    “Money can’t buy happiness, but it’s better to cry in a taxi than on a bus.” - Marcel Reich-Ranicki (German literary critic)
