Know What To Do If Life Gives You Lemons... But What About When It Takes One Back?
Jack Lemmon died. The man was a comic genius. He could also bring you to tears or forget to breath with his performances. Rent some of his movies. We are left with Saturday Night Live Alumni and loser druggie fem assaulting twats to watch. One of my favorite Lemmon movies was "Some Like It Hot". In case your sorry ass has never heard of it, the movie co-stared Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis. A classic. The part in the movie that I loved is classic Lemmon. He and Curtis are band players who dress as women in a all girl band to ditch the mob. Joe {Curtis} falls for Monroe and Jerry's {Lemmon} stolen the heart of... well... here's my favorite scene:

Jerry: I'm engaged!
Joe: Congratulations. Who's the lucky girl?
Jerry: I am. (He sings and vigorously shakes maracas.)
Joe: What?
Jerry: Osgood proposed to me. We're planning a June wedding. (He sings, dances, shakes.)
Joe: What are you talking about? You can't marry Osgood!
Jerry: You think he's too old for me?
Joe: Jerry, you can't be serious.
Jerry: Why not? He keeps marrying girls all the time. (sings, dances, shakes)
Joe (wondering): But, but, you're not a girl. You're a guy. And why would a guy want to marry a guy? Jerry: Security! (sings, dances, shakes)
Joe: Jerry, you better lie down. You're not well.
Jerry: Will you stop treating me like a child? I'm not stupid. I know there's a problem.
Joe: I'll say there is.
Jerry: His mother. We need her approval. But I'm not worried because I don't smoke. Ha ha ha ha! (sings, dances, shakes)
Joe: Jerry, there's another problem. Like what are you gonna do on your honeymoon?
Jerry: We've been discussing that. He wants to go to the Riviera, but I kinda lean towards Niagara Falls.(Sings, dances, shakes)
Joe: Jerry, you're out of your mind. How are you gonna get away with this?
Jerry: I don't expect it to last, Joe. I'll tell him the truth when the time comes.
Joe: Like when?
Jerry: Like right after the ceremony...then, we get a quick annulment, he makes a nice settlement on me, and I keep getting those alimony checks every month.
Joe: Jerry, Jerry, listen to me, there are laws, conventions. It's just not being done.
Jerry: Shhh, Joe! This may be my last chance to marry a millionaire..

As you can tell, I loved this movie. They should never do a remake. Some movies just never look the same the second time around. First Carroll O'Conner... now Lemmon. They say the good ones go in threes. I'll bet there'll be a lot of mirrors under the noses in stars homes tonight, eh?
