Danny Butterman : You cook any fall guy ?

However , of all these question , few stand out as much as when Danny asks if there ’s a spot where someone ’s head will literally blow up if dash there .
While it ’s Frost ’s speech that helps to sell thisHot Fuzzquote , the context makes it as memorable . For this exceptional question , Angel is giving a talk at the local unproblematic school . Danny , rather than standing next to him , sit cross - legged on the floor with the other children , listening intently to Angel ’s every word .
