*Huckle bearer.

Probably one of the most often misquoted movies lines, right up there with "Luke, I am your father."

And, for those who don't know like I didn't until learning the true line, a huckle bearer is another term for a pallbearer. Makes the line so much better, imo.
The "huckle bearer" concept was turned out to be a falsehood, I believe. I understand the script reads "I'm your huckleberry" and Val Kilmer's memoir is called "I'm Your Huckleberry." I believe it is intended to mean either "I'm your sweetheart, pick me" or "I'm the man for the job" or both.

Huh. You learn more here by accident than elsewhere by design.

Thanks for correcting me! Now I'll head over to the ISR board where spreading falsities is acceptable.
