Games, must we?
I think I'd like to meet those killers.
You are a lunatic, Sir, and you're going to end up on the Russian front. I have a car waiting.
James Mason is so lethally and quietly sexy in this scene (one of my favorite scenes in movie history!) I adore Cary Grant, but Mason is the truly sexy character in this movie and lethally smolders in this role.
shareYep, he really catches the role, very suave and laid back. Both Mason and Grant make their acting look deceptively effortless in the film, as if they had just walked in and done scene after scene right off one or two readings of the script. In reality they'd have put a good deal of effort and thinking into the details, and into getting it right.
Actually though I didn't mean to start another thread about the bad guys. I was just reviving a long-standing thread on this board - it's slipped out the back door by now, but about two years ago it had hundreds of posts. The idea was (or became, after a few pages): post a line from NBNW that's striking, funny or smooth in some way, and make it appear like it's somehow following up on the line that was posted just before, but connecting or suggesting a link-up in a way that's *not* in the movie. Make it sound like it's a reply, two of the characters talking to each other (but feel free to use a character's lines as if they were spoken by somebody else when it fits in). Turnabouts, innuendos and reversals of meaning are encouraged. No stage directions or notes about who is speaking.
Like this:
/post 1/ What possessed you to come blundering in here like this? Could it be an overpowering interest in art?
/post 2/ I want you to do a favor for me. A big, big favor.
/post 3/ Somebody get me a snorkel!
/post 4/ No, no. These two men, they poured a whole bottle of bourbon into me...No, they didn't give me a chaser.
/post 5/ You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
etc. Want to hang on?
so:
I think I'd like to meet those killers.
I'm so glad you're PLEASED.

As our OP is trying to "re-start" the line game(which somehow included 300 lines the first time! Who knew NBNW had so many)...
...I would like to move your comment above to a new thread...and comment on it.
Here goes....
