I post things but you won't like them. Let's kill them... with kindness. Laptop broken so a hiatus till I get a new one.
“Marilyn was definitely something special. I enjoyed working with her. I liked her very much. We got along great. And I knew that she had problems and that she was not very happy. We were quite close but not close enough for her to discuss any problems she could have had at the time we made Some Like It Hot. She was a very troubled woman but with a big heart. Nobody could have played Sugar Kane better than Marilyn Monroe. She had a magic on film.”

-Shirley MacLaine
Will you look at that! Look how she moves! It’s like Jell-O on springs. Must have some sort of built-in motor or something.
Osgood proposed to me. We’re planning a June wedding.

Joe: There’s another problem.
Jerry: Like what?
Joe: Like, what are you gonna do on your honeymoon?
Jerry: We’ve been discussing that. He wants to go to the Riviera but I kinda lean towards Niagara Falls.
Joe: Jerry, boy, why do you have to paint everything so black? Suppose you got hit by a truck. Suppose the stock market crashes. Suppose Mary Pickford divorces Douglas Fairbanks. Suppose the Dodgers leave Brooklyn!
Jerry: [Jerry notices the badge of an undercover agent at a nearby table] Joe…?
Joe: Suppose Lake Michigan overflows.
Jerry: Well, don’t look now, but the whole town is underwater!
