That part always makes me chuckle too. I also always think when I watch him yell that what Martin is really thinking is not love or concern for Laura.
Its "Oh NO! My sex slave is goooone!"
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
I think it's funny that I re-watched both this and Poltergeist III yesterday, considering they both suffer from a common problem: the too-frequent utterance of a name. Granted, Poltergeist III fares much worse—the name Carole Anne is said more than 100 times (!)—but still.
shareImagine a ringtone of this scene.
"LAURA!!! LAURA!!! LAURA!!!"
I thought it was really sad, actually.
shareSad? Why was it sad? Martin deserved to lose Laura.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.
Yeah, but it was still sad though. He was obviously distraught at the thought of her dying.
shareI never got the impression he was sad at her dying. He was sad at the thought of the loss of his *trophy*, his slave.
A line that was deleted from that scene, that should have been left in, just cements Martin's thoughts here about his wife:
"She was the only thing I ever loved."
He never saw her as a person, never. Just property.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.
and he wasn't even saying laura, he was saying LOOOOOOWWWWRAAAAA!
annoying and funny. i wonder if that's the scene he auditioned with. haha.
