Steve!

I know there's a guy chased by some paperboy over the 2 bucks.

Is this "Breaking All the Rules"?

Same year.

"Sorry Johnny, I don't have a dime."

Johnny: "Didn't ask for a dime. Two dollars."

"My little brother got his arm stuck in the microwave. So my mom had to take him to the hospital. My grandma dropped acid this morning, and she freaked out. She hijacked a busload of penguins. So it's sort of a family crisis. Bye!"

[slams the door shut]

Mariposa?

It's some movie I never sat down to see.

Was it "the Christmas Story"?

Ummm, no, not even close

"I want my 2 dollars!"

"2 dollars!"

"He keeps putting his testicles all over me."

"Excuse me?"

"You know, like octopus? Testicles?"

"Ohhhh. Tentacles. N-T. Big Difference."

"I want my 2 dollars!"

This is an easy one -

"The Princess Bride"

This sounds like the TNG episode where they find the legendary planet - the one that was cloaked - and they steal a bunch of kids off the Enterprise.

And how.

In other words:

Egg

Wrist

Mast

Tori

A Christmas Story

Since I'm pretty sure I'm right, here goes the next one:

You'll shoot your eye out!

Yep.

"He was a man, take him for all in all. I shall not look upon his like again."

"I have been designed with a fundamental respect for life in all its forms, and a strong inhibition against causing harm to living beings. "

"What a marvelous contradiction - a military pacifist! "

"Your collection has been confiscated. All of your stolen possessions are being returned to their rightful owners. You have lost everything you value. "

Oh, I got it - it's the one where everyone except Chekhov start aging really rapidly.

P -

I think that your attitude of wanting to make sure they are okay is admirable. It is obvious that you care about them deeply.

But like you said, they are grown ups. They are fully capable of taking care of themselves.

Them being out of TWI is like having an 800 pound gorilla in the room. Everyone knows it's there, but nobody wants to talk about it for fear of upsetting him.

Any time there's an 800 pound gorilla in MY room, I handle it head-on.

"So, you guys out of TWI now?" might be a good conversation starter.

I think the best thing that you can do for them - and pretty much ALL that you SHOULD do for them - is let them know that you are willing to talk about your experiences being newly non-TWI, and what you went through, etc.

It's as if they are moving to a new city, and you have lived in that city a long time - they may need someone to show them around, but I'll bet they want to learn the lay of the land themselves at the same time.

I went to high school with the guy who wrote "Enchanted", "Blast From the Past", and "Premonition"

"The Mask"?

George

You are TOO good!

Yes indeed!

A decent, mild mannered banker becomes an out of control partying criminal by night.

Ooooh, reality shows, I forgot, is it, Hells Kitchen, with the ever pleasant Gordon Ramsey?

Yup! Yurrup!!

The Andy Griffith Show?

You got it!!

ok...

andie, mcdowell

melanie, griffith

???

You have the right words there, you just have to put them together.

And I recognize your name as well.

I was in Po'land from 80 to 84.

Ha! No, much more recent - in fact, current.

And not a sitcom.

Transformers

Okay, a hint: this is a sitcom, from a while ago.

"Jean Philippe is Chef's long time maitre d' "

"This risotto is spot on!"

"Yes, Chef!"
