Did Tom's manager say, "Next time you date, date an American"? Questions questions questions! Expect this relationship to last at least through the premieres of War of the Worlds and Batman Begins.

Awww, maybe, but it's got one of the best explanations of how to fight your enemies ever, when Malone tells Elliot Ness how to get Al Capone:
