Hmm, the old eye-roll/head-turn maneuver, eh? That's one I've never noticed, but I'll look for it.

Anyway, I just wanted to clarify ... you don't have to describe the scene in too much detail--just enough so that the rest of us can find it or remember where it was in the movie/show.

OK, I'll go first with an easy one:

In Jamaica Inn, when Jem and Mary are sitting together in the cave after their boat floats away ...

Jem: "Trust me to land myself with a woman. On the other hand, of course, you did save my life."

Mary [pouting]: "I hope you make better use of it in the future."

Jem: "That's a tall order for a desperate character like me. ... A smuggler and a cutthroat I think you said ... Do you think there's any hope for me? [whack] Tell me, what ought I to do?"

(Psst: I distinctly remember at least one scene where he does it to Purity, but I can't remember what episode it was in. Twenty points to anyone who finds it before I do!)

He says something like 'My fortunes have changed (whack-whack-whack)' and then he pulls out the necklace. That was a 'THREE' whacker right on her upper arm. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
