What!!!

Ora aí está, nem de propósito, exactamente no dia a seguir, sim porque na realidade o dia só acaba quando me deito e adormeço, até lá podem ser altas horas da madrugada mas ainda é o mesmo dia. Não me queiram por mais velho do que o que já estou. Anyway, no dia a seguir a ter feito o post com o 5$ shake dialogue recebo por mail esta pequena maravilha de motion graphics que usa como suporte sonoro outro dos melhores diálogos de cinema que conheço e... épah, tão não querem lá ver que é do mesmo filme.
Muito sinceramente, deixem-me que vos diga, mas ultimamente o lote de coincidências aqui para os meus lados tem atingido números muito "à frente", nas mais variadas situações. Mas este é outro assunto que será alargado em post próprio.
Agora vou ali rever o Magnólia já venho.

5$ Shake Dialogue

BUDDY
Hi I'm Buddy, what can I get'cha?
VINCENT
I'll have the Douglas Sirk steak.
BUDDY
How d'ya want it, burnt to a crisp, or bloody as hell?
VINCENT
Bloody as hell. And to drink, a vanilla coke.
BUDDY
How 'bout you, Peggy Sue?
MIA
I'll have the Durwood Kirby burger -- bloody -- and a five-dollar
shake.
BUDDY
How d'ya want that shake, Martin and Lewis, or Amos and Andy?
MIA
Martin and Lewis.
VINCENT
Did you just order a five-dollar shake?
MIA
Sure did.
VINCENT
A shake? Milk and ice cream?
MIA
Uh-huh.
VINCENT
It costs five dollars?
BUDDY
Yep.
VINCENT
You don't put bourbon in it or anything?
BUDDY
Nope.
VINCENT
Just checking.

Buddy exits.

Vincent takes a look around the place. The YUPPIES are dancing, the DINERS are biting into big, juicy hamburgers, and the icons are playing their parts. Marilyn is squealing, The Midget is paging Philip Morris, Donna Reed is making her customers drink their milk, and Dean and Jerry are acting a fool.

MIA
Whaddya think?
VINCENT
It's like a wax museum with a pulse rate.

Vincent takes out his pouch of tobacco and begins rolling himself a smoke.

...

Buddy comes back with the drinks. Mia wraps her lips around
the straw of her shake.

MIA
Yummy!
VINCENT
Can I have a sip of that? I'd like to know what a five-dollar shake tastes like.
MIA
Be my guest.

She slides the shake over to him.

MIA
You can use my straw, I don't have kooties.

Vincent smiles.

VINCENT
Yeah, but maybe I do.
MIA
Kooties I can handle.

He takes a sip.

VINCENT
Goddamn! That's a pretty fuckin' good milk shake.
MIA
Told ya.
VINCENT
I don't know if it's worth five dollars, but it's pretty fuckin' good.

He slides the shake back.

Then the first of an uncomfortable silence happens.

MIA
Don't you hate that?
VINCENT
What?
MIA
Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?
VINCENT
I don't know.
MIA
That's when you know you found somebody special. When you can just shit the fuck up for a minute, and comfortably share silence.
VINCENT
I don't think we're there yet. But don't feel bad, we just met each other.
MIA
Well I'll tell you what, I'll go to the bathroom and powder my nose, while you sit here and think of something to say.
VINCENT
I'll do that.
