The woman who says no to champagne, says no to life

[Lethe]

Nothing else to say.

[ThomCat]

1. What about men who say no to champagne?

This rule sounds kind of suspicious somehow.

[Lethe]

2. men who say no will stand a better chance of not playing in a russian roulette game

sure, you win the money, but eventually you will die and leave your friends back home in pennsylvania heartbroken

3. even if your mountain range was not

in Pennsylvania?

14. I get no kick from champagne

Mere alcohol doesnt thrill me at all...

[petronius]

4. I'm thinkin' about the deer. Going to Nam.

I like the trees, you know? I like the way the trees are in the mountains, all the different--The way the trees are. I sound like some asshole, right?

[Lethe]

6. that's probably my favorite part

in the whole movie....when mike and nicky are talking in their trailer

[JVS]

5. The Continental?

[petronius]

7. That's the sequel. The OP is referring to the prequel to this:

"The way your dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He'd be damned if any slopes gonna put their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright, so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you."

10. yes you are correct, but did you see the prequel?

11. The man is a genius - I LOLd when he jumped over the rail

:rofl:

(Nerd response - "walk without rhythm...")

[Lethe]

12. yep thats it

when Paul Atredies tells his mother to walk without rhythm, and it wont attact the worm

[Lethe]

9. wow that's weird! i never thought about that!

the continental is always trying to get people to drink champagne, and thats exactly what the french guy in the deer hunter tries to get Chris Walken to do in The Deer Hunter

originally, "When a man says no to champagne, he says no to life."

edit: and he is forceful about it, he says "no, i must insist!"

[JeffR]

8. "Music, dancing, champagne...

this is what helps us to forget, until we find something we want to remember."

13. and if they are alcoholic

and they say no because it is something that might send them on a bender that could kill them

I think she says YES when she says NO

:shrug:

[Lethe]

15. well in that case she would say yes to life by saying no

to each their own, and i hope everyone is truly happy

sometimes alcohol can be a terrible illusion, that will keep you from being what you need to be.

He will laugh at you, when your conscience objects, and smiles a smirky terrible toothy grin, with swarthy eyes, because he knows who you owe your allegiance to. He knows that he owns you. He knows that you are helpless. He knows that your pain inside drives you to him. He feeds off it. He laughs when you kneel to him, day after day. You hate him for it. You hate him with the passion of a caged animal. You can feel the numb spirit of your docile inner child who knows that what you are doing is wrong, but is helpless to stop it.

And he laughs, and laughs at your weakness. He wants you to use his strength. He begs you to use it. And sometimes, you use it. You can feel the mockery in the back of your mind, but you don't care. His strength becomes yours, and you are strong again. They look at you with admonishment, and concerned looks with the facade of care. They only care for themselves. They care for the money you provide.

Use it. Give in to your passions. Destroy those you hurt you. Your weakness is sickening.

The strength is there, waiting. Use it. Listen to the voices who so long ago told you how to be strong.

Drink deep the waters of Lethe.
