Monday Morning: The end of the weekend. After the heartfelt and tearful
goodbyes, after forgetting the bananas, after hoping to leave in a squeal of
tires and a cloud of dust... oops, the damn battery is dead.
Barry remembers the famous scene from the movie, The
Longest Day, where Kenneth More is responsible for one of the
greatest automotive repair scenes of all time:
Capt. Colin Maud: [walking
up to a stalled vehicle] My old grandmother used to say anything
mechanical, give it a good bashing.
[Hits hood with his swagger stick]
(Barry only has his foot. That will have to do.)
Capt. Colin Maud:
Try it now.
[vehicle cranks]
Private Flanagan:
[to Clough] Sure, now; that did it.
[notices Maud looks at him]
Private Flanagan:
Ah, now that's what I call a hell of a man!
Pvt. Clough: Aye,
I like his dog too.
Capt. Colin Maud:
Move inland. The war's that way. |
