tremendous poise

 

        A cloudy, gray sky and a damp-looking outdoor scene, reminded me of the 1972 Woody Allen movie called Play It Again, Sam.

Awkward blind date scene - first meeting, and ensuing slapstick catastrophe.

Dick:  That's why it's silly to go to the Pier.

Nancy:  Do you think you could turn the music down a little bit?

Allen:  Of course.

Dick:  What's the point of going to an outdoor restaurant, if it's going to rain?

Linda:  You used to like to take me walking in the rain.

Allen (from across the room where he is turning down the music) - I love the rain.  It washes memories off the sidewalk of life.

------------------------- He says it with self-conscious dramatic emphasis, like it's a "deep" thought, right?

"I LOVE the rain.  It washes memories off the sidewalk - of life."

There are two clips containing this scene, on You Tube.

The shorter one is 3 minutes and 40 seconds.

        You can experience it.

        (The awkwardness! - LOL.  "The key to decorating is to avoid looking like you used a decorator."...)

Tremendous poise.  I'm an absolute master. ...
