• Mac : [Closing scene, at the hospital]  I know you were looking forward to being partners, and so was I really. Riva recruited Harry and I to be secret agents with the Israeli government. You know, the Mossad.

  Ellis Fielding : Yeah.

  Mac : Naturally, I have to convert to Judaism. I'm gonna be bar mitzvahed tomorrow. We leave for Tel Aviv the next day to train at a secret site in the Sinai Desert.

  Mac : Yeah. The only thing I'm worried about is, I have to be circumcised.

  Ellis Fielding : Circumcised? You're kidding.

  Mac : Yeah.
