If you could be any movie character, which one would it be? (I know this doesn't seem like a very Thanksgiving-ish post, but bear with me.)
My answer would probably change regularly, but this time of year, I can't help but think of You've Got Mail.
Remember that scene where Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) is in the grocery store, and she's desperately trying to avoid Joe Fox (Tom Hanks)? She's standing in the Cash Only line and is mortified because she only has $1 and just wants to pay with her credit card and get out of there. Naturally, Joe Fox comes to "rescue" her and tries to make nice with the cashier.
Joe: Rose. Great name. Rose, this is Kathleen, I'm Joe, and this is a credit card machine. Happy Thanksgiving.
(Rose stares at him. She's not going to budge.)
Joe: Now it's your turn to say "Happy Thanksgiving" back.
Rose: (deadpan) Happy. Thanksgiving. Back.
I want to be Rose in You've Got Mail! Every year, my sister and I say this to each other. We're pretty messed up, I admit, but it's a thing we do.
Now you have a terrifying insight into my mind.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Love it! You've Got Mail is one of my favourite movies of all time. I was only mentioning it the other day, 'cos my favourite flower is a daisy...just like the ones in you guessed it..."You've Got Mail"! My daughter and I love Fronk in Father of the Bride too and always talk about 'kaark' instead of 'cake'. Fun to have insider jokes! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
