does this look sexual to you?
Dear Mr. Garvey,
I’m grateful to you, for referring me to your case. The subject of animal captivity has been of interest to me for quite a while. And my secretary has prepared research material that I think you will find illuminating. If you would be so kind as to send me the June 5th letter of which we spoke, my associates and I will review it immediately. Please feel free to call me at your earliest convenience.Yours sincerely,
E. Edward Grey
From the movie, Secretary (2002).
You’ve just read the dialogue from one of the hottest movie scenes I’ve ever watched. “Read it again.”
relationships
[Vitus, a 12-year-old child prodigy & genius tries persuading his 19-year-old babysitter, Isabel to marry him…]
Vitus: Well, statistically, women are usually seven years younger than their partners, but that’s really stupid because men die seven years earlier. So women are widows for 14 years.
Isabel: You’re a real genius at math.
Vitus: We would die at the same time. Besides, a woman’s libido is at its peak 10 years later than a man’s.
Isabel: The libido?
Vitus: Exactly. That’s why so many relationships fail. Women should be older than their men. We would make the perfect couple.
Chris Rhee, a 22-year-old non-genius, fondly dedicates this quote to Maura Tierney, Tina Fey, Patricia Heaton, Diane Lane, Rachael Ray, Jane Leeves, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mary-Louise Parker, Marisa Tomei, Jodie Foster, Gina Bellman, Jane Krakowski, and Marissa Mayer.
the siege
Anthony Hubbard: Are you people insane? What are you talkin’ about?
General Devereaux: The time has come for one man to suffer in order to save hundreds of lives.
Anthony Hubbard: One Man? What about two, huh? What about six? How about public executions?
General Devereaux: Feel free to leave whenever you like, Agent Hubbard.
Anthony Hubbard: Come on General, you’ve lost men, I’ve lost men, but you – you, you can’t do this! What, what if they don’t even want the sheik, have you considered that? What if what they really want is for us to herd our children into stadiums like we’re doing? And put soldiers on the street and have Americans looking over their shoulders? Bend the law, shred the Constitution just a little bit? Because if we torture him, General, we do that and everything we have fought, and bled, and died for is over. And they’ve won. They’ve already won!
General Devereaux: Escort him out.
the sopranos and funny tasting coffee
Carmela Soprano: He had coffee here, Tony. That’s all.
Tony Soprano: And now the coffee maker sucks.
The Sopranos is my favorite television show of all time. Even though it’s a serious drama, it has gotten some of the biggest laughs out of me throughout the years. It’s gonna be a sad day for TV when that last episode airs…
