Time -Waster

[WashDad]

<p>Here’s an easy one.</p>

<p>“Saigon, **** I’m still only in Saigon.”</p>

[drb]

<p>Right. I was thinking “Never get out of the boat”</p>

[WashDad]

<p>All from the same movie:</p>

<p>"You’ve been taken to the cleaners, and you don’t even know your pants are off. "</p>

<p>I cheated and went to IMDB for this long bit of dialogue:</p>

<p>

Muriel: I want it to be a soft green, not as blue-green as a robin’s egg, but not as yellow-green as daffodil buds. Now, the only sample I could get is a little too yellow, but don’t let whoever does it go to the other extreme and get it too blue. It should just be a sort of grayish-yellow-green. Now, the dining room. I’d like yellow. Not just yellow; a very gay yellow. Something bright and sunshine-y. I tell you, Mr. PeDelford, if you’ll send one of your men to the grocer for a pound of their best butter, and match that exactly, you can’t go wrong! Now, this is the paper we’re going to use in the hall. It’s flowered, but I don’t want the ceiling to match any of the colors of the flowers. There’s some little dots in the background, and it’s these dots I want you to match. Not the little greenish dot near the hollyhock leaf, but the little bluish dot between the rosebud and the delphinium blossom. Is that clear? Now the kitchen is to be white. Not a cold, antiseptic hospital white. A little warmer, but still, not to suggest any other color but white. Now for the powder room - in here - I want you to match this thread, and don’t lose it. It’s the only spool I have and I had an awful time finding it! As you can see, it’s practically an apple red. Somewhere between a healthy winesap and an unripened Jonathan. Oh, excuse me…</p>

<p>Mr. PeDelford: You got that Charlie?</p>

<p>Charlie the painter: Red, green, blue, yellow, white.</p>

<p>Mr. PeDelford: Check.

</p>

<p>“A ledge is like a big stone. Only it’s bigger.”</p>

<p>^^Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House. Oh, the crap I keep inside my head!</p>

[drb]

<p>Never seen that movie, but the scene is familiar so - not right?</p>

[mafool]

<p>Please tell us which film that is, washdad, as I have to make certain that my husband NEVER sees it! (There’s just a bit of me in that dialog) :D</p>

<p>You’ve been taken to the cleaners, and you don’t even know your pants are off.</p>

[WashDad]

<p>One of my favorites.</p>

[mathmom]

<p>Great movie. I’ll have you know my living room and dining room are that exact butter shade of yellow. (Benjamin Moore Hawthorne Yellow HC-4 if you want it!)</p>

[mafool]

<p>yellows can be tricky, can’t they?</p>

[lspf72]

<p>Our kitchen is Hawthorne yellow. I love it.</p>
