Special: "Uva Uvam Vivendo Varia Fit" Famous to all who have seen the film, Gus comically added this Latin phrase to his sign without any idea as to what it says. Call asks "What if it's an invitation to rob you?" and he replies, "If any man can read that, he's welcome to." While the translation is impossible to translate exactly, the basic translation most people agree on is "A grape changes color (ripens) when it sees another grape."
Error creating thumbnail: File missing I won't explain the scene but it is hard not to spoil the ending with this shot. Sorry.
