I know that, where you live, titles are often changed. Somehow, though, I don't think that this is the correct movie.
Starring Jeff Bridges and Martin Landau

I had forgotten this was still going on. For my FYI though, George, what do you mean by that? How's does geography change the titles? Had I known it was playing I might have guessed Tucker.
I want to take you out to dinner. and then, I want to go back to my apartment and watch 'Kung Fu'. Do you ever watch 'Kung Fu'?
I love Kung Fu
Channel 39.
Totally!
You should come over and watch 'Kung Fu' tonight.\
OK. Can we order lunch first?
You know there are people in this world that don't have to put up with
all this dang? Like that guy that invented the pet rock. You see, that's what you have to do. You have to use your mind, come up with some really great idea like that, and you can make millions, never have to work again!
You think the pet rock was a really great idea?
Sure it was. The guy made a million dollars. You know, I had an idea like that once. A long time ago.
Really, what was it, Tom?
Well, all right. It was a "Jump to Conclusions" mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor, and it would have different conclusions written on it that you could jump to.
That is the worse idea I've ever heard in my life, Tom.
Yes, this is horrible, this idea.
Ah, look..uh...I gotta get outta here. I'll see you guys later, if I still have a job.

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized something. Ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see, that's the worst day of my life.
Therapist: What about today? Is today the worst day of your life?

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

It's not that geography changes the titles.
Occasionally, a title may change from country to country.
(In the UK, "the Avengers" became "Marvel Avengers Assemble",
since fans of the old TV show and later movie "the Avengers"
would object and possibly get confused.)
Generally, it's a change in language that triggers a change in titles.
Occasionally, the new title makes sense, but often it's just something
they think works better locally. "Despicable Me" aired here as
"My Favorite Villain." "Safe" aired as "Code of Fear."
Taken became "Implacable Search." "Home Alone" became
"My Poor Little Angel." "The Hangover" became "What Happened Yesterday?"
"Hope Springs" became "What Do I Do With My Husband?"
"Todd Pilgrim Vs the World" became "Scott Pilgrim vs the Exes of the
Girl of His Dreams." And so on, and so on.
You can find some examples on the Imdb pages of movies if you go to the
Release Date link, then scroll down to AKA (also known as) for the
release titles in different countries as well as the working titles.
So, they might have changed the name of "Tucker", but it's unlikely
they went with somethng as idiosyncratic as I came up with, and especially
with dropping a name out of the title. ("Cloverfield" became
"Cloverfield-Monster", "Salt" became "Agent Salt" and so on.)
I came up with that title by combining the mental image I was getting
of a mechanic after constructing 50 cars in a row with the title of
the movie "Diary of a Tired Black Man."

"We came......about the money."
"What's that walking corpse say?"
"He said they come about the money."
"Ask him 'what money, @$$hole.'"
"What money, @$$hole?"
"Incredible. They're playing games.
Yeah."
"Tell him you're gonna play games on his f*ing head."
"I'm gonna play games on your f*ing head."
"You must hate this warehouse.
Because it's gonna be a three-alarm job after tomorrow."
"Johnny. Come here. Come here."
"What?"
"(What the hell are you doing?)"
"(I have no idea.)"
"I don't know."
"Go ask him."
"You want me to ask him?"
"Mr. Skelton wants to know how come he don't know you."
"Because I'm new."
"Because he's new."
"Tell him Lombino didn't say nothing to me about no new bagman."
"Lombino didn't say nothing..."
"Mr. Lombino, huh? Mr. Lombino!
Since when does a wiseguy like you deserve an explanation from a giant......like Mr. Lombino?"

Another lost post, although I did not post the answer.
I would have gotten this just from the first line (thanks to the pause).

That's it, of course.
A comedy that should be seen by every adult at least once.
Anyone who's been a NY'er should consider getting a copy.

For those who didn't get the reference, I recommend the movie.
The main characters (protagonists) pushed into a random doorway,
and ended up in the middle of a mob hideout, with a gun behind
the main one. He began improvising wildly, and continued
from where they accidentally gave him openings to respond.
"We came about the money." "They're playing games."
"You must really hate this place, it will be burned down tomorrow."
"I'm new." Then they hand him the name of the guy who's supposed
to GET money, and he has something to work with.
