[BC] Near death experience

[Alan Kline]

There was a scene with Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal in "Running 
Scared" where they were driving a car on the Chicago elevated train 
tracks. IIRC, Billy tells Gregory to be careful not to touch the third 
rail with the car, because of the 600 volts.

Hines answers, "It's not the volts that'll kill you, it's the amps."

"How many amps are there?"

"Enough to push a train..."
