The Devil's Egg



The egg is definitely the third character in this scene from Angel Heart.
Mr. DeNiro’s peeling of it, with his long nails, is memorable.

Louis Cyphre : You know, some religions think that the egg is the symbol of the soul, did you know that ?
Harry Angel : No, I didn’t know that.
Louis Cyphre : – Would you like an egg ?
Harry Angel : – No, thank you. I have a thing about chickens.


For all its symbolism, I thought it appropriate for Friday the 13th.
You can find out why, here.
