Absolutes Quote by Bill Murray
![“Buddy Hackett [was] talking - this is Hackett, not me - about the Virgin Mary, a limerick sort of thing, and all these children and families ... the look of absolute horror. He's going on and on and on, and finally he stops. It's just total horror, and the camera's still rolling. You can hear it…” quote by Bill Murray](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/685/bill-murray-1709_absolutes_buddy-hackett-was-talking-this-is-hacket_1301273.jpg)
“Buddy Hackett [was] talking - this is Hackett, not me - about the Virgin Mary, a limerick sort of thing, and all these children and families ... the look of absolute horror. He's going on and on and on, and finally he stops. It's just total horror, and the camera's still rolling. You can hear it, sort of a grinding noise. And the director says, "Anything else, Bud?"”
