One of my favorite movies of all time, “That Thing You Do”, was playing on tv today and I managed to catch my favorite bit. Guess which part it is! (hint: it might have something to do with the video!) Warning: very mushy

I love the character of Faye in this movie. Especially because she doesn’t try and deny things, or throw tantrums. She gives in when she has to. No, not when she has to. When she wants to. And she does it with no fuss.

So it comes as no surprise that my favorite dialogue from the movie is one of hers, when she is talking to Jimmy :

“I have wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you – kisses that I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all your color and life. I used to think that was the real you, when you smiled. But now I know you don’t mean any of it. You just save it for all your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight.”

This ofcourse is closley followed by one of Guy’s (sigh) dialogues, from when he is talking to Del Paxton :

“I’m Guy Patterson, I’m from Erie, Pennsylvania, I’m in a band called The Wonders and we just cut a record, we’re out here on the coast and I play the drums and I have all your records well not all of them but a lot of them but ah at least I did until some of them got swiped when I was stationed in Germany and you were playing in Germany at the time that I was stationed there, but you know what I couldn’t see you because you were playing in Hamburg and I was stationed in Munich but I listen to your records and I think you’re great.

[takes a breath]

You are my biggest fan.”

Man, I love this movie!
