You've Got Mail Night

So Jeff was totally confused when Chet advised him to "Go to the mattresses" while they were working out. This led to the discovery that Jeff had never seen You've Got Mail... so obviously, that had to be remedied. lol We got Five Guys burgers to go and had "You've Got Mail Night" on Wednesday (it's been saved on my DVR for years now - it's my go-to 'background noise movie'). I love all the songs and several quotes from this movie, and as Chet commented, it's the perfect movie to watch year-round because it encompasses all the seasons. :) It also makes life in New York look serene and fantastic... so yeah, definitely fiction. lol

"Don't you think daisies are the friendliest flower!?" ~Kathleen Kelly

"I like Patricia - I love Patricia. Patricia... makes coffee nervous!" ~Joe Fox (F-O-X)

"The odd thing about this form of communication is that you're more likely to talk about nothing than something. But I just want to say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings." ~Kathleen

"Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address." ~Joe

"You are daring to imagine that you could have a different life. Oh, I know it doesn't feel like that - you feel like a big fat failure now. But you're not. You are marching into the unknown armed with... (pause) nothing! ...Have a sandwich." ~Birdie

"If I ever get out of here, I'm having my eyes lasered!!" ~Patricia

"It wasn't... personal." ~Joe

"What is that supposed to mean? I am so sick of that! All that means is that it wasn't personal to you. But it was personal to me. It's personal to a lot of people. And what's so wrong with being personal, anyway? Because whatever else anything is, it ought to begin by being personal!" ~Kathleen (always my favorite line in this movie)

"I sell cheap books - I do - so sue me!" ~News clip of Joe =)

It was definitely fun watching it with the guys and listening to their commentary. :)
(Pic = our road trip night, but this was the same group, so it still seems appropriate.)

Funniest moment of the night:
Chet (pausing the movie for a random interjection): Hey, didn't Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid have twins in real life??
Me: Hmm, I don't know. I know they were married, but --
Jeff: No, they weren't! He was married to that girl who died in the skiing accident.
Laura: No, I think that was actually Liam Neeson -- how weird that that's the second time this week someone has mentioned her dying in the ski accident!
Chet: Pretty sure he married Meg Ryan. But I'm thinking they had twins?
Jeff: Nooo - oh, are you meaning Liam Neeson and Meg Ryan??
Chet: NO!
Me: Wait, so you're saying that he married Natasha Richardson?
Jeff: Yes. Dennis Quaid. I promise you. And yes, they did have twins!
Chet: Umm, that was Parent Trap.
....("Light bulb moment" pause)....
Jeff: That WAS Parent Trap! ......Never mind.
....(everyone cracking up)....
Laura: Dennis Quaid is Linday Lohan's dad - Whaaat!? :)

LOL I just love those moments where everyone is talking over each other and it gets hilariously confusing... unless, of course, it's happening in the courtroom and I'm in charge of separating it all out.

*P.S. I googled it, and yes, Meg and Dennis did have twins! ;-)
