So Cooper says that every man has a secret longing to be Humphrey Bogart, *Meg announces, flopping backwards onto the bed as Andrew heads over to the DVD player.*

Is it true?

*And here it is. The classic scene in the classic movie, quoted and mocked and parodied a hundred times and it never loses its original meaning.*

*Andrew's whispering the words along with Rick.*


If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life....

*I said I would never leave you! Ilsa insists.*

And you never will. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of two little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Not now.

*His eyes are suspiciously bright. They always are, at this part.*

Here's looking at you, kid.

*Ilsa and Laszlo head towards the plane, Major Strasser shows up --*

*You knew this would happen. That last bit may have been a surprise if you've never heard the story before, but this? Come on. You knew this would happen.*

*Renault:
Major Strasser's been shot! A pause. Round up the usual suspects!*

*And off charge the gendarmes, leaving Renault and Rick Blaine to finish the scene....*

*The credits roll.*

*Andrew turns to Meg, hopefully.*


Well?

stilljustandrew: (confiding)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
Yeah?

*He turns away from the screen and settles a little more comfortably on the bed, folding his legs under him.*

How come?

stilljustandrew: (well now let's see...)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
... Probably the latter. I dunno if I'd count on Rick Blaine.

But I like him.

stilljustandrew: (shifty...)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
...No, you asked if I wanted to be Humphrey Bogart.

Different question.

Date: 2006-07-25 05:13 am (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (confiding)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
Maybe you still don't. I should show you some more Humphrey Bogart.

Date: 2006-07-25 05:27 am (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (shifty...)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
...maybe.

*Andrew points across the room.*

Hey, look, a blue bunny!

Date: 2006-07-25 05:32 am (UTC)
stilljustandrew: (look!)
From: [personal profile] stilljustandrew
You're right.

*He points again.*

Look, a blue bunny that's on FIRE! And ... singing!

I can't think of any emergencies for your job, though.

-- Look, a giant thermos full of Satanic coffee!

stilljustandrew: (geek.)

*He grins.*

So ... I was thinking if we're doing classic movies, the next one I should show you is Jaws.

*snerk*

Not exactly. It's about a great white shark....
