  1. Another quote (same author): ‘I’m not especially looking for someone rich. That’s not important.’ Neely sneered. ‘You’ve never been poor.’ ‘Neely…let me put it this way. You’re thrilled because you’ve landed Hit the Sky. Suppose after a few weeks of rehearsal someone like Allen came into your life and asked you to marry him and chuck the show before it even opened. Would you?’ ‘Would I? But so fast it’d make your head spin. Look, let’s say I have real talent. And let’s say someday I get a chance to prove it. If I work real hard for years, what will I end up with? Money, position and respect. That’s it. That’s all there is. And it could take me years of hard work to get that. Allen is handing you the works on a silver platter.’ George
  2. That's it. And I didn't even have to mention Jack or Chloe! Go, now i see! George
  3. And what happens if the company with the most profit is selling at the lowest prices? (No, that's not a contradiction. If you have lower supply-chain costs, you can still get large margins, even with lower sales prices.) Do we boycott the cheapest gas and pay more somewhere else? George
  4. Sorry, not even close. About the only similarity is that this is an American author, as well. George
  5. Was there a movie about "Chip 'n Dale"? George
  6. The temperature hit ninety degrees the day she arrived. New York was steaming - an angry concrete animal caught unawares in an unseasonable hot spell. But she didn’t mind the heat or the littered midway called Times Square. She thought New York was the most exciting city in the world. George
  7. "Your mind is like an open book to me!" "Then learn how to read!" "I guess you would call it an implosive-explosive sub-molecular device." "Or an Atomic Bomb." "Hey, that's catchy." "Oh, God I dreamed." "So did I. What did you dream?" "I was lying naked on a beach in the South Seas. The tide was coming up to my toes. The sun was beating down. My skin hot and cool at the same time. It was wonderful. What was yours?" "I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face and was somebody else underneath." "You have problems." "I'm aware of that." George
  8. "Captain’s log, stardate 5819.0. More than eight hours have passed since the consignment of zenite disappeared and we have still found no trace of it. We received word from Merak II that the botanical plague is spreading rapidly. Delivery of the zenite is imperative within twelve hours, or all life on the planet will be annihilated." "I have never before met a Vulcan, sir." "Nor I a work of art, madam." "This troubled planet is a place of most violent contrasts... those who receive the rewards are totally separated from those who shoulder the burdens. It is not a wise leadership." "Light and warmth! That's necessary to all humanoids." "Violence in reality is quite different from theory." "You sleep lightly, Captain." "Duty is a good teacher." "Captain's log, stardate 5818.4. A botanical plague is devastating a planet in the quadrant of the galaxy where the Enterprise is operating at present. It threatens to destroy the vegetation on the entire planet, leaving it uninhabitable." George
  9. "You're an attractive woman. I'm sure your husband would prefer it if you were returned to him without...disfigurement." "I'm not telling you anything." "I want you tell me exactly what you've been doing here and for how long." "Understand this, Bill. I don't work for you any more." "Did you revise the casualty projections?" "Of course. Here they are." "Just give me the number." "Two to five million dead within the first 48 hours." George
  10. That's it! Take it away, NIS! George
  11. One of Dooj's three "guesses" is correct. It's just a matter of saying it quickly. It was a fairly recent movie (last year, I think), but not "Norbit." George
  12. I would have to guess "Car 54, Where Are You?" George
  13. Actually, you are. The person who gets the last clue gets to post one. Of course, we like to have new players, so I say we leave it up to wrdsandwrks to see whether she wants to post one or go ahead with your clue. George
  14. No. Since it appears our Trekkies aren't playing, here's a hint. His name is the second half of a Christmas-time drink. George
  15. $3.85-3.95 locally, though Houston runs about a dime higher. I'm thankful I don't own a diesel. Remember when diesel was CHEAPER than gas? It's funny (in a sad way). Now, if I use a credit card at the pump, it automatically shuts off at $75, I think because the system automatically "reserves" $75 when you use a card. My wife has overdrawn her balance in the bank when a gas station "reserved" $75 on her bank card, even though the actual purchase was about $30. Until a month or so ago, I never had to worry about $75 being enough to fill the tank. George
  16. You're right about it being a Ferengi, but he's wearing a Starfleet uniform. That narrows it down to one character. George
  17. "Oh, God I dreamed." "So did I. What did you dream?" "I was lying naked on a beach in the South Seas. The tide was coming up to my toes. The sun was beating down. My skin hot and cool at the same time. It was wonderful. What was yours?" "I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face and was somebody else underneath." "You have problems." "I'm aware of that." George
  18. Inconceivable! "The Princess Bride" George
  19. Sorry for letting this slip! two pics, need a character's name George
  20. Don't mind me. I get enough "playing time." If you know one, just answer. (I'm pretty sure you're right about "Working Girl," but maybe we'll wait for Steve! to confirm...) George
  21. The concert is scheduled for 3:30 PM on Sunday, June 22, in Elizabeth Hall at Stetson University. George
