The Opening Scene To - The Matrix
call HART crazy .. but
During the XMAS holidays .. we had some guests over for a light dinner (and hopefully to help us get rid of some of those extra chocolates and candy on hand) and I casually (with great wit, I might add) mentioned something like this to one of the guests .. What’s it going to be, the Blue Pill? or the Red Pill?
Now, I was just referring to making my guests either a drink of Eggnog with Nutmeg powder sprinkled over it (non-alcohol) or, Cranberry Vodka with Orange Juice (alcohol). That’s when one of them asked me what I meant by that, and this is pretty much how that conversation went:
ME: So? What’s your poison? What’s it going to be, the Blue Pill? or the Red Pill?
HER: HUH?
ME: The Blue Pill? or the Red Pill? Blue Pill? That one? Red Pill? This one?
HER: HUH?
ME: You Know! The Blue Pill?? What’s it going to be Neo?
HER: HUH?
ME: Geeez Louweeeez… THE BLUE PILL? NEO? KEANU REEVES??????
HER: HUH?
ME: HEY! Can someone get your girlfriend out of my kitchen!!!!! AAaarrrrgh!
HER: HUH? What?
ME: THE MATRIX! THE MATRIX! WAS MY ACTING THAT BAD???
HER: Oh! The Matrix! That’s that movie, right? Was that some important scene in that movie?
ME: *sigh*
HER: Sorry! Geesh. It’s just that I didn’t see that movie.
ME: You didn’t - SEE - The Matrix? Which one?
HER: THere was more than one?
ME: YOU DIDN’T SEE THE MATRIX? It was quite popular you know.
HER: Oh .. I didn’t like it
ME: You didn’t like the Matrix? How can you not like it - if you didn’t see that movie?
HER: Oh. I rented the DVD once, and nearly got sick from the first 5 minutes. What a crock. It was so bad I had to just turn it off.
ME: Here’s the Eggnog. I’m going to sit down now.
