OVERHEARD....

glitter-graphics.com


Throughout the year I keep a notebook handy to jot down various things that I overhear.....movie quotes that strike me and the like. I'm not sure why. I just do. And when I look back on it sometimes I'm not even sure what compelled me to choose them in the first place. But spontaneous choices they were.....so I thought I'd share them with you......

I'd love it if you shared your own favorites with me........

So, in no particular order.....

THINGS THAT STRUCK ME THIS YEAR

1. "What are we supposed to do with that thing with all the words on it?" ~said to me by small child on second day of theatre class. She was referring to the script.

2. "The future is right behind us." ~said by small boy at storytelling birthday gig when I asked where was the future.

3. "Aye. Ye can say anything ye likes long's ye has a smirk on yer gob and a passable accent." ~Merlyn of Merry Mischief

4. "I'm not a big fan of mustard." ~incongruously said by small boy who was upset because his parents were late picking him up. He said they were having hotdogs for supper so I thought to cheer him up by saying pretty soon he'd have a big hot dog with lots of mustard.

From THE BEALES OF GRAY GARDENS

( I adore these docu-movies by the way.......talk about disconnect from reality....they make me look average.....)

5. "She said I was having a nervous breakdown and ought to go to Atlantic City. I'm not that broken down yet!" ~Little Edie

(Off screen camera man) "One."

"Then it's Pinky." ~Little Edie

7. "I used to sit out here for hours. Then I found out it annoyed everyone in East Hampton." ~Little Edie

8. "It's the revolutionary costume. I never wear this in East Hampton." ~said by Little Edie while wearing an upsidedown skirt and a sweater on her head.

9. "It's a perfectly enormous cake!" ~Big Edie
