I beg your pardon?

| | Comments (3) |

In line Sunday at the Claremont Laemmle 5 to see "Slumdog Millionaire," I heard the older guy in front of me request a ticket to the new Kristin Scott Thomas flick, as follows:

Man: "One for 'I've Loved You So Long.'"

Male employee in booth: "What?"

Man, louder: "'I've Loved You So Long'!"

Add your possible comebacks below. I'll start: "Thanks. Now, what movie would you like to see?"

"Get in line and take a number... you wouldn't believe how many times I have heard that today..."

"Yes, but I never thought you would actually say it!"
