June 2026 several of us are going to take on theĀ 30-Day Movie Scene Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we share a YouTube clip from a movie and explain what is intriguing about that particular scene. It is a simple daily activity of sharing a Movie Scene. My focus today is on the ending scene of the 1988 film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels when Janet Colgate (The Jackal) introduces CHIPS O’TOOLE played by Michael Caine to Nikos Papadopoulos.
This month marks the 78th consecutive month that friendsĀ Jeff NeelonĀ andĀ Jaclyn DonovanĀ have taken on some sort of challenge. For June 2026 participants simply commit to sharing one movie scene from a film. Each scene just needs to be accompanied by a simple explanation on what is happening or why it was chosen. Hope you decide to join us or enjoy the clips we share.

In the final scene of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Lawrence (Michael Caine) and Freddy (Steve Martin) discover that Janet Colgate (Glenne Headly) has outsmarted them both. The woman they believed was a wealthy heiress is actually a skilled con artist known as “The Jackal.” After taking their money, she disappears, leaving the two swindlers stunned and embarrassed.
Before the movie ends with Lawrence and Freddy licking their wounds from being hustled out of $50,000 Janet appears with her next con well underway. She introduces Lawrence as Chips O’Toole the favorite son of Australia.
