Another auditory sighting of "[You/That] so and so":

The Lady Eve (1941)

family resemblance?

Watching The Lady Eve for the first time and thought about this post as she said it.
Notably too the relationship between the Colonel and Jean is echoed in Sydney and John in Hard Eight

Meanwhile, a thousand years ago . . .


Aucassin, when he heard
of his sweet-bodied love,
was stirred at heart;
so he left the shepherds
& rode his fighting horse
into the deep forest
& was lost to sight;
& he spoke these three words :
"Nicolete of the gracious heart,
for you I came into the woods;
I don't follow tracks of deer
but your heaven-blue eyes & gentle body,
your fair laugh, your sweet breath.
Not to be heartbroken to death
may it please God
I shall see you again,
my sweet love!"

I think you're only acting strong.
No, l am strong.
For who? Not for me, I hope.

1. For Woodcock to effort himself into "acting strong" might be received (paradoxically?) as an effort of weakness, for by this activity, so the theory goes, he is actively seeking approval.

td;lr. Prostrating oneself to become a leader.

"Where's yours?" "She's here in the canvas."
"Do you still got it? The Lincoln Letter? Where?" "Right here."

"You can sew almost anything into the canvas of a coat. Secrets."
"As a scientist and a connoisseur I have no idea the contents of this remarkable potion. What's in it?" "Secrets."

"C'mon, boys, let's have a fire."
Ahhh, a [ romantic ] fire . . . addressed to the dogs!

"I ordered you a steak tartare."
Gordon Gekko : "Try the steak tartare."

"I can stand endlessly."
e.g., "Genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains."
