References To Stamp Collectors From Movies

From the movie Little Shop of Horrors, 1966

Mr, Mushnick (flower shop owner): Well you would like, maybe, as usual some flowers for the funeral?

Mrs, Shiva (customer): I thought possibly because I always give you my funeral business and maybe you should possibly give me, eh, a little cut today,.

Mr, Mushnick: Look on me Mrs. Shiva, What am I? A Philatelist? I sell on Skid row nothing but cheap carnations.

Script from TV show "Castle" Season 2, Episode 21

Mr. Cana.

Call me Fred.

to help you recover
your stolen property.

What exactly was in the box?

Stamps.

- Stamps?
- Yeah, I collect them.

It kind of surprises me
it took you so long to reach out to us.

The folks at the bank said
they left you a half a dozen messages

over the last couple of days.

Well, I been busy, you know?

I been working a lot.

And what is it that you do?

I'm in private security.

This stamp collection,
how much was it worth exactly?

It's hard to put a price tag
on an item like that

because of, you know,
the sentimental value.

And who else knew
that you were keeping it at the bank?

Just a select group
of other stamp enthusiasts

with whom I formed relationships
over the years.

So how long you been
a philatelist, Fred?

Hey, watch your mouth, pal.
Fred Cana don't go that route.

Philately is the study of stamps,
Mr. Cana,

which you would know if you were,
in fact, a collector.

Can you edit the line breaks?
