I think my testicles are dropping!” I’m not sure why this would be poignant or particularly odd for Grant to say on camera. ---

> [@MonkeyMensch](#): > > I’m not sure why this would be poignant or particularly odd for Grant to say on camera. There were rumors that Cary Grant was gay or bissexual, see [Cary Grant - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cary_grant#Personal_life) . Grant and Randolph Scott shared a house when they were big enough stars to afford better. If Grant was straight this may have been a response to his impoverished childhood. Why buy your own mansion when you can split the cost? Or they could have been lovers - such things were not discussed back then. At this point, who cares? The movies are still good. ---

“My goal as a guitarist has always been to sound as if I have Satan trapped under a lawnmower.” Every time I get outsmarted by an inanimate object, it worries me a little more. So… Who made the first move on the other way back then – Humans or Sphynxes? Probably humans. If it has boobs, even if it’s a monster, men will want to touch them. “No offense, but your breath could knock a buzzard off a shit wagon…” ---

(Derek Zoolander is presented with a model of the Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can’t Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too) Derek Zoolander: What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read… if they can’t even fit inside the building? Mugatu: Derek, this is just a small… Derek Zoolander: I don’t wanna hear your excuses! The building has to be at least… three times bigger than this! ---
