Picky.

Eyewitnesses are unreliable. I witnessed an accident. Replayed it endlessly for a long time. ( it was bad ). YEARS later I get a call at like 10:30 pm. Really weird, to get a call that late like this.

" Mr. Toons? I’m Mr. Eli Teplitsky of the firm of Teplitsky, Teplitsky and O’Hara. We represent a woman who got hit in front of you back in the Plestiocene Era on Cape Cod. Remember? "

I proceeded to describe the entire movie in my mind. The guy was delighted. Go to court. Testify. Turns out I had the scene spot-on. Execpt for the OTHER CAR that I never saw. Never knew it was there. Incredible.

Dropping the gun made sense. And yeah, c’mon, it’s a movie script. Memorable lines like that sound good when written and play great. It’s a lovely line to repeat, and I’ve used it many a time in La Guili in Astoria.

Ah yes, I momentarily blanked on the Pan Am Clippers! :cool:

Which has always been another problem for me, since the Marines are an exceptionally combat-oriented group. Killing two people who were sitting still instead of a few hundred who’d come tearing out of the jungle at 3AM in a screaming bonsai charge would have been…cannolli.

I hate those screaming bonsai charges. Tiny clippers, rakes, leaf trimmers, root hooks. I shudder whenever I think of them.

Did you put tape on that dumb joke before you killed my point with it? :slight_smile:

No, he put the tape on his PanAm clippers so he wouldn’t leave any fingerprints.
