Some wise-guy journalist wrote a load of stuff about our "very special relationship".
The wise-guy comic announced that books are dangerous and should not be mentioned in the presence of children.
He comes across like a wise-guy cab driver setting the world to rights.
A wise-guy, reluctantly giving up his treasure to the children when asked.
He reads the movie as a form of romance whose allure is centered in the characters' nonnaturalistic discourse, wise-guy literate, media-smart, obscenely epigrammatic.
