I don't remember that bit, although it's been aeons since I've seen the
movie. I think I'm due for a viewing soon.
quoted 1 line btw. is this for real ?

Yes, it is indeed. Very odd/sad depending on your perspective.
And by the way, if anyone is wondering where the quote in Irene's original
message came from - it was from Surge, the electronic/experimental
newsfeed that I provide via my website (
http://www.feedbackmonitor.com)
and mailing list (
http://www.egroups.com/group/feedback_monitor). In case
you want to visit the site or join the list or something.
