I enjoy enlightening Italians with this little known fact about their history:
Clifford (Dennis Hopper): You're Sicilian, huh?
Coccotti (Christopher Walken): Yeah, Sicilian.
Clifford: You know, I read a lot. Especially about things in, uh, about history. I find that ? fascinating. Here's a fact, I don't know whether you know or not, Sicilians ... were spawned by ? .
Coccotti: Come again? [laughs]
Clifford: It's a fact. You see, Sicilians have black blood pumpin' through their hearts. If you don't believe me, you can look it up. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, you see, the Moors conquered Sicily. And the Moors are ? .
Coccotti: Yes...
Clifford: So you see, way back then, Sicilians were like wops from Northern Italy. Ah, they all had blonde hair and blue eyes, but then the Moors moved in there, and uh, well, they changed the whole country. They did so much ? ' with Sicilian women, huh? That they changed the whole bloodline forever. That's why blonde hair and blue eyes became black hair and dark skin. You know, it's absolutely amazing to me to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, that, uh, that Sicilians still carry that ? gene. Now this...

The entire scene is gangsta. Two great actors in the same scene giving a memorable performance, delivering their lines with perfect timing and pacing, but the bolded and italicized sealed it.
