Script

"My husband is having an affair with your wife. I don't think we should talk about it. Unless you're prepared to kill them."

"Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God!"

About

Akin to Garbage Day! and They're Eating Her… Oh My God!, this phrase has gotten a fair bit of attention, more so than the movies they originally come from. What makes them memorable, and meme-worthy, more often than not comes from the way they are conveyed, either as overly melodramatic, fairly inappropriate to the circumstances, or a combination of both.

Clip from "Tough Guys Don't Dance" submitted by TubbsTattsyrup on October 31st, 2007:

Behind The Scenes

Norman Mailer, author and director of the novel/film "Tough Guys Don't Dance" claimed in an interview that he had been questioned about leaving this take in his movie. In response, Mailer informed the questioning party that he was of the opinion that Ryan O'Neil's "performance" actually added something to his picture, and so left it in. The two were civil with one another during production, but upon seeing the final cut, O'Neil was embarrassed, turning against Mailer whom he saw as exploiting his short-comings as an actor.

Interest over time

There appears to be little to no correlation between the spoken line and the movie title, but this could easily be contributed to the fact that "Oh man oh god" is not an overly unusual phrase.

It should be noted, however, that the October 2007 spike for "Tough Guys Don't Dance" could be in correlation with the video TubbsTattsyrup submitted, as it was put up on October 31st, 2007.
