A scene from The Departed 2006
Costello

Have a seat, Bill. Do you know John Lennon?

Costigan

Yeah, sure, he was the president before Lincoln.

Costello

Lennon said, "I'm an artist. You give me a **** tuber (tuba), I'll get you something out of it."

Costigan

I tell you Mr. Costello, I'd like to squeeze some **** money out of it.

Costello

Smart mouth. Too bad. If you'll indulge me--

Costello

[Gwen walks through]

Now what?

Gwen

Choir practice.

Costello

Choir practice. The point I'm making with John Lennon is: a man could look at anything, and make something out of it. For instance, I look at you and I think, "What could I use you for?"
