Sorry, it's from So Proudly We Hail. The dumb but handsome marine "Kansas" had a running gag through the film: "Oh I never..." catch cold, get sunburned, etc and he'd show up the next scene sneezing or burned, or what have you.BegintheBeguine said:Is it Hitchcock's Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
Diamondback said:Okay, here's one, another recent "softball":
Mickey: "What's the torch for?"
Frank: "2000 degrees, Mick. Enough to turn steel into butter. [sighs] It won't hurt at first. It's too hot, you see? The flame sears the nerve endings shut, killing them. You'll go into shock... and all you'll feel is... cold. Isn't science fun, Mickey?"
Oh, don't be sorry, Buddy. That's a good movie, I must watch it again.Buddy said:Sorry, it's from So Proudly We Hail.

Of course it turned a bit sadder at the end, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone else.

You leave that hanging in the air, like I'm going to fill in the blank, that to me is like asking me who you are, and I don't know who you are, I don't want to know. It's taken me my whole life to find out who I am, and I'm tired now, you hear what I'm saying? "

It really is, isn't it? I think that's the film that really made me take a second look at Claudette Colbert. And Veronica Lake was ..uh.. so very un-Veronica Lake! [huh]BegintheBeguine said:Oh, don't be sorry, Buddy. That's a good movie, I must watch it again.

"By the way, my ski shoes and hockey mask will be up on the next train along with the polo pony. I understand the countryside abounds here with wild game: flamingoes... wine wombats... Indian civets."
