My favourite scene from
Uncle Buck has to be when he accidentally drops one of the expensive-looking china dishes from the shelf in his brother's house. Cigar in one hand, his free hand explores the decorative wall of plates. After the plate hits the ground and comes out miraculously unscathed, Uncle Buck picks up the plate and examines it. One could only assume his logical train of thought is something along the lines of:
If it doesn't break from a 6-foot fall, it must be indestructible!
How could one test out this theory? Thankfully a grand piano is in arm's reach, and a quick collision of the two objects will put an end to his flawed theory. The plate shatters, and he looks at the pieces with bewilderment.
Genius.
