SCENE: The offices of AMC. Eve sits facing the interviewer across the desk at the conclusion of her final interview for the job of on-air host. They have already informed her that they’ve narrowed their search to just two people: Mike Brady and her. INTERVIEWER: Ms. Golden, I have to say we’re very impressed with your qualifications. You’ve got the brains, the looks, the personality and the wit required for this job. We’d really like to have you join our team here at AMC. EVE: I’m very flattered by your interest. I think this would be an ideal job for me and I know I can do it and do it well. INTERVIEWER: We have one final little thing we’d like you to do for us. We’d like to have you do an impromptu review of one of our classic movies. Have you ever seen “Kiss Her Goodbye”? * * * “I used to think the brain was the most important organ in the body, until I realized who was telling me that.” Emo Phillips ---

**pluto** , you are _so_ going to hell for this. When you get there, beer’s on me. I’ll buy something for **Eve** too. Oh, and Mike Brady’s dead. Greg Brady is the evil competition. * * * [Change Your Password, Please](http://204.95.48.199/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getannounce&ForumNumber=3&Start=2451545.99&End=2451911&Session=2451598.1854) and don’t use HTML, as it has been disabled, but you can learn about superscripts [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000795.html) ---

Oops! But if I _was_ competing for a job I’d rather compete with a dead guy! ---

Pluto, when they asked me to come in, they said, “Think of three movies you’d like to talk about.” My first thought was, “Hoo, BOY, could I do a three-minute riff on Kiss Her Goodbye!” But I wasn’t willing to risk that they’d be ready for a Daily Show-type audition. With AMC, ya gotta appeal to elderly housewives sitting there with their cup of Maxwell House International Coffees. So I went with three movies I liked . . . If I get the job, though, bar the door, Katie! ---

Pluto, that original scenario cracked me up! Keep us posted, Eve! ---

Well, they _were_ going to pick Mike Brady, but he’s too much of a stiff. ::rimshot:: ---

Marcia will probably get the job. [all together, now] It’s always Marcia—Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! I had an evil little thought: right before Greg Brady went in to read, I shoulda run up to him and gone, “Wow—aren’t you Keith Partridge?!” ---

Relax. Marcia’s dead. You’re welcome. ---

Wow, Eve, I guess I don’t pay enough attention, I didn’t know you were up for a position at AMC. I hope you get it, I watch AMC all the time. Nick Clooney used to mbe a news caster on Fox in Utah when I lived there, I still chuckle thinking of how over dramatic he was ehrn I see him introing films on AMC. * * * Voted Biggest Smartass by all you beautiful people! * * * You always use violence. I should’ve ordered glutinous rice chicken. ---

Eve, you realize if you get this you’ll be only one degree of separation from GEORGE Clooney? If you’re not interested for yourself, then you gotta get me the hookup, girl! 😉 * * * Now there’s nothing unexpected about the water giving out; “Land” is not a word we have to shout.
