weird question:

What movie does a character say that he tells people that he works in the import/export business, so people won't ask him questions about his job? I could have sworn it was De Niro in Heat, but maybe not. Am I making this up?

I feel like you've planted a memory in my head - this sounds so familar, but I just can't quite place it, and now it's going to bug me for days

It's Elaine's fake boyfriend who is an importer/exporter.

When George convinces her to set him up with Marisa Tomei, they create the alibi that they're meeting to talk about how Elaine's boyfriend wants to give up the exporting and focus on the importing, but "George felt that she was too adamant her stance that he should focus on the exporting and forget about the importing".

The first mention of Art Vandelay in the second episode of the series states he’s an importer/exporter.

The only real Art Vandelay who ever showed up in Seinfeld was a judge. The other Art Vandelays were made up

Yes but the name was there almost from the beginning. And as an importer/exporter.

My memory is some combination of the Seinfeld episode, the Heat scene where he says he works in metals, and a 3rd, as of yet undiscovered thing, where two people talk about telling people they have boring jobs so the other person won't ask questions about it.

Really enjoyed hearing Wes Bentley on WTF this week. Had no idea he had fallen so hard after American Beauty. Glad he’s doing well.
