The Niceties

Gremlins 2 has always been one of my favorite movies. Here is my favorite scene:

Grandpa Fred: [interviewing Tony Randall Gremlin] Creature what is it that you want?

Tony Randal Gremlin: Fred, what we want is, I think, what everyone wants, and what you and your viewers have: civilization.

Grandpa Fred: Yes, but what sort of civilization are you speaking of?

Tony Randall Gremlin: The niceties, Fred. The fine points: diplomacy, compassion, standards, manners, tradition... that's what we're reaching toward. Oh, we may stumble along the way, but civilization, yes. The Geneva Convention, chamber music, Susan Sontag. Everything your society has worked so hard to accomplish over the centuries, that's what we aspire to; we want to be civilized.

[a Gremlin with a beanie cap acts goofy next to Tony Randall Gremlin]

Tony Randall Gremlin: You take a look at this fellow here.

[Tony Randall shoots the Gremlin in the head. The Gremlins in the bar laugh. Grandpa Fred and Kujitsu leave]

Tony Randall Gremlin: Now, was that civilized? No, clearly not. Fun, but in no sense civilized. Now, bear in mind, none of us has been in New York before. There are the Broadway shows - we'll have to find out how to get tickets. There's also a lot of street crime, but I believe we can watch that for free. We want the essentials. Dinettes. Complete bedroom groups. Convenient credit, even though we've been turned down in the past.

I think Tony Randall Gremlin is currently running for President.

But in any case, here's a fun fan-produced movie.

Faustus dated Jwer? I'm the one pushing the highboy across the room. So much for my 15 minutes of fame.

Do not cash to buy a car? You should not worry, because it is available to take the business loans to resolve such kind of problems. Thus get a college loan to buy all you want.
