But out of the lot, their most cherished movie would definitely be 1976’sTaxi Driver. On the same topic, the filmmaker revealed an interesting tidbit about De Niro’s most famous line from the movie. In the said scene, De Niro, portraying Travis Bickle, imagines a scenario where he’d have to threaten someone with a gun. He then says,“You talkin’ to me?”
While looking at himself in the mirror, he repeats again.“You talkin’ to me? Well, I’m the only one here.”This particular dialogue of De Niro became quite famous but had an entirely different story of its own. In reality, the line wasn’t scripted, but the actor actually improvised the same.In an interview, Martin Scorsese revealed the same.
