They did a good job playing it for humor in Charade when Walter Matthau discussed the murder of Audrey Hepburn's husband with her over a liverwurst sandwich. (She had a chicken sandwich, but you can only hear the smacks and swallows of the liverwurst.)

I really did think you all were talking about Burger King burgers at first. Those are not a particularly good movie snack.

It's a brunch destination. Go for the Luftwaffle, stay for the Blintzkrieg.

I heard the snake was baffled by his sin
He shed his scales to find the snake within
But born again is born without a skin
The poison enters into everything

I was amused watching Thompson amuse himself with his pronunciation of "scenario." Not as amused as Thompson was, but amused enough.

Come on, man, everyone uses "really" in a figurative way as an intensifier, and no one seems to care. Going by the definition of "reality," the phrase "He's really an asshole" is strikingly similar to "he's literally an asshole"—one shouldn't be more objectionable than the other.

It's going to happen very soon. The great event which will end the horror. Which will end the sorrow. Next Tuesday when the sun goes down, I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards. This will reverse the world's mad plunge into suffering for the last 200 million years.

Heh, I'm now remembering watching BSG and thinking as he got his cult going, "Aw. Gaius likes you, just as you are."

It was extra-funny to me because there's a much-quoted line from a 1960s Soviet comedy, where one character asks another about going abroad, "Did you drink Coca-Cola? How was it?"

And it's better than looking something up in volumes of paper encyclopedias, where updating information and correcting inaccuracies and biases is a lot harder.

Steve: "Look, I don't like to throw around the word 'butthead' often. If you call everyone a butthead, it kind of loses its impact. But I can say without hesitation that Tony is being a real dick."

And also she's an angry rape survivor.

Send me a salami,
and try to smile somehow.

My favorite thing about tarragon is that the Italian word for it is dragoncello.

Also, when she was going to clink her glass with the guy who bought her the drink, and she had to pull it back when he didn't even notice.
