MOVIE QUOTES AND SONG LYRICS
One of my co-workers mentioned a study recently that found most men interact with each other through movie quotes and song lyrics. This way, they don't have to share their true feelings with other men.
The reason why she brought that up was because out PT department is like no other -- it has significantly more men than women. There's roughly 17 men and only 6 women. And as a result, all you hear us talking about is movie quotes and song lyrics . . . all the time. In fact, we make every excuse just so we can use these lines. And sometimes, we'll just randomly break out into song like we were in a musical.
Some of our favorite reoccuring ones include:
1. Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2: "Jackie always okay!" and "I have always wanted to go to Madison Square Garden, see the Knicks play" and "See how difficult I am? He cannot even say three words in Chinese!"
2. Top Gun: "Don't you leave me, Maverick" and "Negative Ghostrider" and "I feel the need, the need for speed."
3. Milli Vanilli: We changed the lyrics from "Blame it on the rain" to "Blaim it on Lorraine" in order to make fun of one of the 6 women. In fact, we have since taken EVERY song with "rain" in it and put Lorraine's name in it. It's hilarious . . . but maybe you have to be there.
4. And, of course, the most quoted from movie of all time, A Few Good Men: "I want the truth. You can't handle the truth." In fact, we recite that whole last scene with Jack Nicholson word for word.

Why do we do this? I don't think it's to keep us from sharing our true feelings because, believe it or not, we actually do that too.
But since we're all pretty burnt out at work right now, doing these crazy things helps to keep us sane. And if that doesn't work, we can always blame it on Lorraine!
