You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You know, for someone who claims to have an understanding of how Hollywood works, you're painfully unaware of one of the most famous quotes from a Hollywood cult film.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Out of curiosity, what quote and what film do you speak of?

Princess Bride. "INCONCEIVABLE!" "You know, you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

And I can only assume that means you went to a technical program, then? I strongly encourage you to take some film history courses, mate. It'll do your work a world of good.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What school are you going to, anyway?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

WHAT!?

GET OUT. YOU GET THE FUCK OUT RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW NOTHING OF FILM.

Tim Burton directing SMB? So, what? We could get Mario all pissed off at Bowser because he reminds him of an absentee father? So Johnny Depp could play Iggy Koopa, because he's all zany like that? I mean, really, what in the fuck about SMB's light, amusing tone makes you think Tim's heavy handed, father-issue bullshit would be a good fit?

I was speaking idiomatically.
