George Bailey: What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon, Mary. Mary: I'll take it. Then what? George Bailey: Well, then you can swallow it, and it'll all dissolve, see... and the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair... am I talking too much?  **************************************************** Mary: Bread... that this house may never know hunger. [Mary hands a loaf of bread to Mrs. Martini] Mary: Salt... that life may always have flavor. [Mary hands a box of salt to Mrs. Martini] George Bailey: And wine... that joy and prosperity may reign forever. Enter the Martini Castle. [George hands Mr. Martini a bottle of wine]  **************************************************** Mickey: [Mickey walks up to a disheartened Freddie Othello, dumped by Mary Hatch] What's the matter, Othello - jealous? Did you know there's a swimming pool under this floor? And did you know that *button* behind you causes this floor to open up? And did you further know that George Bailey is dancing right over that crack? [Othello turns to Mickey] Mickey: I've got the key!  **************************************************** Zuzu Bailey: Look, Daddy. Teacher says, every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.  ****************************************************

I really like the aforementioned movie but, as I've mentioned before, the film has less of a Christmas significance to me and more of a Sci Fi / Twilight Zone feel to it. (Sans the intro by Mr. Serling of course) My wife however mentions the "Teacher says..." comment every single year. Usually when we are unpacking the Christmas ornaments and run across one of the many decorative bells. It's a Christmas tradition. :-)

I love It's A Wonderful Life. It has been my favorite christmas movie since the first time I saw it. I especially love the alternate ending they filmed that had been lost for about 40 years, and then recovered back in the '80's. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbSBqwM3_2c |

Just like Jenn mentions on the Watch regarding The Nutcracker. dAN, I can not access YouTube videos with my dial-up connection. I am disconnected everytime I try to download something. Even if it is a joke, will you PM me a description of what you posted? |

Honestly, I don't think I could do it justice. I must say it's very real, and it resolves some issues the official ending left unresolved. But, being that this is the season for giving, I will attempt to honor your request by finding a transcript.

*grin*
Thank you for the transcript via PM, dAN. Now that I read it, I'm pretty sure I saw the original broadcast of it years ago. I know I can totally visualize the entire skit as I read the transcript, and that usually doesn't happen unless I've seen the filmed version.

Not to upset anyone or denegrate such a "Wonderful" film, and this really isn't a quote it's something I like to say at a resturaunt when a glass hit the floor.
"Look honey, teacher says everytime a shot glass breaks, a bar-fly gets it's wings"
Usually the folks at the next table find it kinda amusing-but then we have a lot of "Oldies" here in Venice

Oh but the way, please feel free to use that line. c.n.
