• Carl Reiner : Let me show you a clip from my latest film where my faulty depth perception kept me from yelling "cut" at the right time.

  [on a movie set, just as a car plummets off a cliff, Reiner yells] 

  Carl Reiner : Cut!

  [but it's too late, and the car explodes at the bottom of the cliff; back to the press conference] 

  Carl Reiner : If I had yelled "cut" on time, those actors would be alive today.
