"My God, it's a mansion!"

"It's a house."

Now, have a nice breakfast. And don't sell the house. I love this house.

kjbe said...: I love this movie and I love the quote from Olga - "She's a very nice lady." How sweet.

Growing up in the midwest, I've always been intrigued by what New Yorkers called a 'house.' No grass, no room - a completely different sense of space.; 8/19/08, 7:37 AM
john said...: The clip makes me hungry. Never saw the movie, but now I know what I can do with the rest of last night's bread. Wish we had some bacon.; 8/19/08, 7:38 AM

"Eggs". Hehe.; 8/19/08, 10:23 AM
vbspurs said...: I liked putting the sugar cubes in the celebrational fermented beverage.

You like putting Mentos in champagne, Ruth Anne? Didn't Mythbusters already do that?; 8/19/08, 10:25 AM
rhhardin said...: I thought they were talking French for quite a while.

Monsieur Holot's Holiday is better, if you want French.; 8/19/08, 10:25 AM
knox said...: Snap out of it!

Two eggs in one egg pocket.

I've since figured out that 30% power for 5 minutes is all that's needed. Puncturing the yolk, furthermore, is unnecessary.; 8/19/08, 12:26 PM
