sometimes, there are three tines

Do you watch old films like that and suddenly realise you've been using classic lines from it for years? I do! I always say 'take care of you' to a particular friend and I'm always saying, 'big mistake - huge!'

when the hotel manager is showing vivienne how the table will be set for dinner, he says 'sometimes there are two tines, and sometimes there are three tines' (on the forks)
something like that anyway.

Oh come on now DragonButter, there must be one! Not one line from Dirty Dancing or Top Gun or Officer & Gentleman?

I say "Big mistake -- huge!" but had forgotten it came from Pretty Woman (probably because I picked it up from DH who says it a lot). I also say "This is obviously some new and interesting usage of the word [whatever the word is] with which I was previously unfamiliar...", which is from The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, but I hadn't realised that that was where I'd picked it up from until I listened to the complete radio shows again a couple of years ago.

My all time favourite bit of that film is when they are in the lift on their way to the opera (but she doesn't know where they are going) and she says "If I forget to tell you later, I had a great time tonight". I think that is such a wonderful, gracious thing to say. I hope I get to use that line one day.

However many times I watch it I still laugh when he snaps at her fingers with the jewellery box! I'd heard she really didn't know he was going to do it.

Alambil · 05/02/2009 01:24

I laugh at that bit too - you can see her genuine shock I think!

Tamarto · 05/02/2009 11:04

I was genuine, he did it on the spur of the moment, they liked her reaction so in it went.

If I say to my husband 'I've got something to say....'

He always says 'better to burn out than fade away'

Highlander I think

I have a friend who is quite like Julia Robers - leggy, sexy, smart and witty. Whilst watching 'Pretty Woman' for the 134th time, I sent my lovely mate a quick text saying how much 'Pretty Woman' reminded me of her.

Not thinking of course, that her response might be 'what - a street-walking hooker in a blonde wig'.
