Michael: “My darling, isn’t it lovely, being out in here in the woods?”
Liza: “Well, I suppose you could say that. But there is one thing that’s troubling me…”
Michael, sighing: “I knew this day would come. But I can assure you that despite what you’ve heard at the Kit Kat Klub, I did not sleep with that man from Prague. I slept with your other boyfriend.”
Liza: “Interesting. Remind me to follow up on that at a later time. But right now I’m more concerned about what I’m seeing over there.”
Michael: “Is it someone else that I slept with and shouldn’t have?”
Liza: “Really, dear, it would be nice if you weren’t knocking boots with the entire country, but we have a more pressing issue, so let’s try to focus.”
Michael: “You’re right, my little bearded love. Pray tell, what does thou see on yonder rise?”
Liza: “I believe I am watching an Austrian family running from Nazis while climbing a mountain and singing songs about kittens with whiskers and a female deer and some flower with a long-ass name.”
Michael: “That sounds like a musical I would never go to see.”
Liza: “And now there’s a nun running along and waving a distributor cap. Should we be concerned?”
Michael: “I’m more concerned about how it’s possible for you to close your eyes with all that mascara.”

Why, yes, on some levels, this indeed such a discourse. On another level, we have a quirky little mashup of scenes from two of my favorite movies. And on yet another level, there is an encrypted formula that will allow interplanetary space travel, if you just know where to look… 😉

That USED to be one of my favourite films, now it’s ruined, RUINED I tell you!
Why does Ms Minnelli look like a kitten whose tail has been caught in an electrical plug socket?

So I tarnished one of your cinematic experiences? Okay, good. [Checks off item on Master Plan] As for Liza’s expression, I’m sure it’s the same one she has every time she marries a man who turns out to be gay… 😉
