Flow Gently Sweet Afton


Yesterday morning I was in an elevator on the way up to work and someone else in there was going on about how beautiful the day was, and it really makes you want to live, etc., which I agreed with. However, I was so tempted to imitate Frances' mom when she forces her to play Flow Gently Sweet Afton.

"Oh, it's just a FLOW GENTLY SWEET AFTON DAY. Life's been so good to me, I can't think of anything that I could wish for."

All joking aside, it's one of my favorite scenes. For about 10 seconds, you have no idea how Frances is going to react.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.
