I want to share with you some funny and thought provoking dialogues from one of my favourite movies - Sleepless in Seattle starring Tom hanks and Meg Ryan.
The dialogue: Tom's 10yr old son is missing (he runs away to meet Meg) and he is questioning his son's best friend along with her parents. After a lot fo co-ercing and negotiating, the next few dialogues follow
Daughter: NY
Father: (turns to Tom and says) No Way, she wont say.
Tom: That would be NW, whats NY?
Daughter: New York, I bought him tickets from our computer online
And so Tom flies to New York chasing after his son.
My pearls of wisdom: In this world of acronyms like lol, lmfao, bfn, etc we certainly are having a way with words (more like away with words). But sometimes lets use it right, as one of my friend recently shared in this cartoon with me over gtalk status.
The dialogue (courtesy imdb):
Jonah Baldwin: If you get a new wife, I guess you'll get to have sex with her, huh?
Sam Baldwin: I certainly hope so.
Jonah Baldwin: Will she scratch up your back?
Sam Baldwin: [shocked] What?
Jonah Baldwin: In the movies, women are always scratching up the men's back and screaming and stuff when they're having sex.
Sam Baldwin: How do you know all this?
Jonah Baldwin: Jed's got cable.
Sam Baldwin: Oh.
My thoughtful take: Child proofing cable tv will only get you so far. Information has a way of reaching those that want to know, in this case, Jed's got cable :)
