Him: “My dearest, as I expire dramatically in this wheat field, while the city where we met burns to mere ashes in the background, know that I have always loved you, and the image of your beautiful face will be with me always, Maria.”
Her: “That was so sweet of you to say. But I’m not Maria. I just wanted to know if you had change for a five…”

And what was she going to buy if the city was burning down? Marshmallows?

Obviously, she is going to pay a farmer for the last living horse out of Dodge.
I think she made it. She has spunk.

Yes, what on earth could she want to buy? Another hat?

Sadly, she NEEDS another hat. Burning city or not, there’s no excuse for bad millinery…

I think she should invest in better lighting. Dying Dude is getting all the focus…

I always pick up nearly dead people in my arms and cradle them whilst asking if they have change … don’t you? 😉

Or…. (alternative ending to the $5 change scenario):
George/Jimmy/Stewart/Kermit: “STELLA!!”
Peggy/Sue/Rhonda/Eileen: “Not Stella darling, “Peggy/Sue/Rhonda/Eileen”. We shared that chardonnay last night, you remember? You said it tasted off, so I didn’t drink any…wise choice on my part, I’d say. Now where did you hide the deed/diamonds/fabulous treasure? I need to go buy a new hat…providing any of the hat makers survived that blaze. It wouldn’t do to show up with this soup bowl on my head. I’m going to be one of the one percent…unless you die before you share the wealth. Aw damn. I KNEW I talked too much…”

How did they do that pose without giggling, that’s what I want to know. I mean, gosh, when Hubs and I pose that way, we’re reduced to hysterics every time.
