I was so intrigued by your first quote I looked it up. Never seen that movie and not sure how popular it was, but your last quote should certainly be a dead giveaway. ---

“I like the relationships. I mean, each character has his own story. The puppy is a bit too much, but you have to over look things like that in these kinds of paintings. The way he’s _holding_ her… it’s almost… filthy. I mean, he’s about to kiss her and she’s pulling away. The way the leg’s sort of smashed up against her… Phew… Look how he’s painted the blouse sort of translucent. You can just make out her breasts underneath and it’s sort of touching him about here. It’s really… pretty torrid, don’t you think? Then of course you have the onlookers peeking at them from behind the doorway like they’re all shocked. They wish. Yeah, I must admit, when I see a painting like this, I get emotionally… erect.” ---

This is what happens when people have a you-know-what occur in their lives. They wake up one day and they say, “I’m going to quit my job and try something completely different with my life.” But then they wake up another day and they say to themselves, “Thank God my older brother didn’t let my blow Dad’s inheritance by buying a broken-down zoo in the country nine miles from the nearest Target store.” Okay. It’s _We Bought a Zoo_. I mean, I basically gave you the title. ---

Yes. Three new ones: “I once knew a girl who lived on Gordon street, when I was a young man. Not a day passes when I don’t think of her, and the promise I made, which I will always keep, and one perfect day on Gordon street.” “You’re some hell of a piece of furniture.” “Doctor, I’d like to kiss you goodbye.” “Alright… but, you’re so damned ugly.” ---
