Death Proof

From one of my favourite scenes:

Abernathy: There are other things you can carry other than a gun. Pepper spray.

Kim: Uh, motherfucker trying to rape me, I don't want to give him a skin rash. I wanna shut that nigga down.

The Dreaded Hat

Three years into working at the Hellmouth, the cafe staff were forced to start wearing hideous corporate baseball caps. People walked out in the middle of their shifts, frowns were worn daily, and heated arguments were held in the backroom. No one was happy - especially me. Seven stopped by to lend his support and throw some humor around the place. He approached the counter, looked at my pouty face and said, "Miss Star, I feel you should embrace the hat by going with a sombrero." I lasted another half year and moved on. I couldn't take wearing that god-awful thing. Baby had to move on to greener pastures!

Absinthe

The drink that makes you want to kill yourself instantly.

Winter Blues

Conversation between Nicole and myself at my home - which has no heat - in the dead of winter, earlier this year:

Me gettin' dressed: Oh my God - these jeans are FREEZING!
Nicole: Why aren't ya wearin' yer long johns?
Me: No no no - those long undie-roos are for nite-nite time only.
Nicole, slightly irritated: Why?
Me: Cuz what if I'm in a car crash and some hot doctor sees me wearing old man undies. What will he think?
Nicole, deadpan: He'll think 'Damn, this girl's tryin' ta keep warm.'

Maybe it's because I heard her tone, but this still makes me laugh like hell.

Road House

Marci: I have half a mind to go home and watch Road House.
Melissa: You only need half a mind to watch Road House.

Gimme a Break

Marci and Melissa were out at the pool all day and around mid afternoon, Marci got stung by a bee. She then decided, hypochondriac that she is, that even though she was not allergic to bees last week, this week she was clearly allergic and my God, was about to go into anaphylactic shock at any minute. Melissa jokingly asked, "Do you want me to take you to the ER?" And Marci of course said, "I think you may need to." After rolling her eyes, Melissa got Marci an ice pack and had her relax for a second. After a few moments, Marci composed herself, turned to Melissa and in all seriousness said, "Whew, it was pretty touch and go there for a while." When Melissa told me this story I, like I'm sure most of you are wondering, asked, "What drama school did Marci attend?" Touch and go? Please.

So Uncalled For

Melissa just finished doing her hair and was overwhelmed at how perfect each curl turned out. She went downstairs on a gleeful cloud of happiness and said to her roommate, "Don't I totally look like Robert Plant?" Marci cigarette in hand like Bette Davis, looked up from reading her book and replied, "Oh, Robert Plant would never wear those plaid shorts." And promptly went back to her book. Ouch.
