Jeremy: [Trying to watch Parenthood.] Hmm.
Jill: Here's a recipe for Ham Mousse.
Jeremy: Hmm?
Jill: Hammm. MMMousse.
Jeremy: Mm-hmm.
Jill: The first ingredient is Knox Gelatin!
Jeremy: [Shakes head.] Mmm-Mm!
Jill: ...It has onions, and celery, and green peppers....and whipped cream in it!
Jeremy: [Shakes head violently.] Mmm-MM!
Jill: The phrase “chill until slightly thickened” should never be used in a recipe involving ham!
Jeremy: GAH!
Jill: ...Perhaps it's time for me to take a break from the hotdish "research."
Jeremy: [Raises single eyebrow.]
Jill: [Closes cookbook, sets it aside.]

I think you should have given Jeremy a bigger part in this play. You're wasting his talent.
ReplyDeleteJohn, Patty Duke won a Theater Desk Award as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker, and her only line is "wah-wah."
ReplyDeleteTHERE ARE NO SMALL ROLES, ONLY SMALL ACTORS. :)
While I was indeed watching Parenthood, it would have been better if she had made it Point Blank or Get Carter...I have a rep to maintain!
ReplyDelete...says the guy with a "Fuzzy Lil' Dudes" folder in his Favorites....
ReplyDeleteJeremy could win an Oscar with that eyebrow thing alone.
ReplyDeleteThere are no small parts, but Tom Cruise is really, truly, too small to play Jack Reacher.
Just sayin', is all.
