how am I supposed to work now?
So much work.
So much.
So. So. Much.
But TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is coming on and it's probably the greatest film version of a book ever. And it's probably based on the greatest book ever.
How am I not supposed to watch it? Really. Tell me.
Of course, I don't really need to watch it since I know about every line. Some of my favorites are...
"I'm little but I'm old."
"There's a confederate pistol in her lap under her shawl, and she'll kill you quick as look at you."
"You look like a picture this afternoon." ... "He don't say a picture of what."
"There are some people in this world who are born to do our unpleasant deeds for us."
"I may not be much, Mr. Finch, but I'm still sheriff of Macomb County and Bob Ewell fell on his knife."
And of course...
"Miss Jean Louise, get up. Your father's passing."
How anyone could read that book and/or watch this movie and not fall in love with it I will never know. It takes my breath away each and every time.
And all this just reminds me why Atticus Finch is one of the men who sadly are fictional.

Really. Atticus was quite a man. I always wanted to be like Scout too.
Don't forget "Pass the d*** ham." on your list of lines. Truly captures the rebel in all of us.
Eh, I didn't like To Kill A Mockingbird all that much. I dunno why, and for some reason, I seem to be the only one on this world who doesn't like the book. Funny...
Do you remember when I stayed the weekend with you (forever ago)? We rented that movie. I'd never seen it before. Does it make you feel like you've accomplished something great by introducing another lost soul to this wonderful story? =)
