They should also pay you for diminished value, Shrift, and possibly buy you a pony.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. It depends on how bad the damage is. If the frame is bent, there will be a big loss of value even after the car is fixed. If it's just a body panel and related stuff that need to be replaced, then... well I don't know - maybe a small loss of value or no loss at all.
I sold my Focus to... what's that big-ass chain of car dealerships? (eta: Carmax.) They inspected it first but never noticed that a fender had been replaced (eta: or they didn't care). They refuse to buy cars that have had the frame bent.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Any film titles with American Jewish Leads come to mind?

If you're talking about Jewish characters (not actors), yet another neurotic was the lead in Everything Is Illuminated, played by Elijah Wood.
The only non-neurotics I can think of are all TV characters, and they're quirky in their own way (Toby Ziegler and Josh Lyman on West Wing, particularly).

Are the Epps family (Numb3rs) Jewish?

Mentioning Numbers reminds me of the egregiously stereotypical Judd Hirsch character in Independence Day, and his geeky non-religious son, played by Jeff Goldblum.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
If we're moving toward tv, Wilson, in House, is Jewish. Not particularly observant, not particularly quirky (except in his putting up with House), and mostly positive.

Hee--from Salon's War Room:
What a 36 percent approval rating gets you
George W. Bush travels to Cleveland today in another effort to bolster public support for the war in Iraq. Not so long ago, Republican officials in Ohio would have seen the event as a can't-miss opportunity to wrap themselves in the flag and around the president. So what will happen today? Here's the run-down from the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
"Prominent Ohio Republicans including Sen. Mike DeWine, Sen. George Voinovich and Rep. Steve LaTourette say they're skipping Bush's speech because of prior commitments. DeWine is visiting his convalescing father in Florida and accompanying him to spring training baseball games. LaTourette previously scheduled a staff retreat in Washington. Voinovich has meetings in Washington that he couldn't reschedule. Gov. Bob Taft, whose popularity is even lower than Bush's, isn't expected to attend, either. Taft noted that he attended Bush's speech last month outside Columbus, as did Voinovich. Today's event isn't on the schedules of either Jim Petro or Ken Blackwell, the GOP candidates to replace Taft, their spokesmen said."
