_“Acting is acting like you’re not acting.”_ From THE ROCKETEER. No, it’s not said by said Rocketeer, or by our hero’s voice-of-wisdom pal; or by the villain, or by the villain’s memorable henchman; or by the love interest, or, for that matter, _to_ the love interest. But it’s still right on the money. ---

> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > Alan Swann (Peter O’Toole, basically channeling Erroll Flynn) accidentally walks into the ladies’ room instead of the men’s room. Sorry to nitpick: “One night, while drunk, he [John Barrymore] accidentally went into a women’s restroom, instead of a men’s room, and proceeded to relieve his bladder in a potted plant. A woman standing nearby reminded him that the room was “for ladies exclusively”. Turning around, his penis still exposed, Barrymore responded, “So, madam, is this. But every now and again, I’m compelled to run a little water through it.” This incident later made its way, verbatim, into [My Favorite Year (1982)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084370/?ref_=nmbio_trv), where the Barrymore-inspired character Alan Swann, played by [Peter O’Toole](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000564/?ref_=nmbio_trv), is involved in a similar situation.” - [John Barrymore - Biography - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000858/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm#trivia) _Pulp Fiction_ - After Uma Thurman survives an overdose thanks to a scary adrenaline injection to the heart, Rosanna Arquette quips: “That was pretty fucking trippy…” ---
