Dumb and Dumber (1994)
Plot summary
Directed by: Peter Farrelly
Starring: Jeff Daniels, Jim Carrey, Lauren Holly, Mike Starr
Two friends from high school, Harry and Lloyd, live as roommates in Providence. They're both quite dim and can't hold a job for very long. Lloyd, while working as a limo driver, is hired to take Mary Swanson to the airport. He is instantly smitten with her and falls in love. He drops her off at the airport and he sees her leave her briefcase in the middle of the terminal. What he doesn't know is that the briefcase is full of money, a ransom payment, for her husband who was kidnapped. Lloyd interferes with the pick-up and tries to get the briefcase back to Mary before she gets on her plane. He is too late, so he and Harry travel across the country to Aspen, where Mary is headed. When they get there, Mary starts falling for Harry however and Lloyd gets jealous.

Suggested correction: Mental isn't sitting on a bench seat, it's implied he's sitting on the floor of the van in between the both of them. Although hard to see, the backs of the bucket seats can still be seen behind Harry and Lloyd at certain points. You see a fair bit of it behind Harry whilst he's dancing as Lloyd sings the line "and if that mocking bird don't sing".
Lloyd: What do you mean you don't bet? Wussy! Wussy!
Harry: I never have and I never will.
Lloyd: Yeah, right. I bet you twenty bucks I can get you gambling before the end of the day.
Harry: No way.
Lloyd: I give you three to one odds.
Harry: No.
Lloyd: Five to one?
Harry: No.
Lloyd Ten to one?
Harry: You're on.
[Lloyd and Harry both shake hands and smile.]
Lloyd: I'm gonna get you.
Harry: Nuh-uh.
Lloyd: I don't know how, but I'm gonna get you.
Harry: Nuh-uh.
Trivia: If Mary Swanson married Lloyd instead of her fiance she would become Mary Christmas.
Question: I live in the UK and I was watching this movie when it was broadcasted on T.V. When Harry is trying to fix Mary's toilet I could have sworn I saw Harry literally rip the toilet off the floor and tip the contents out the window and yet I have never seen this on the video or DVD. Could I just have been imagining it or does it have something to do with the American version?
Answer: This is a scene that was cut from the theatrical release of the film, but is present in the extended cut and some international DVD versions.
