Remember the scene from Breakfast at Tiffany's where

that dude says this big thing:

"You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, 'Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness.' You call yourself a free spirit, a 'wild thing,' and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself."

Well here's what- if love is the only chance any of us have at experiencing 'real happiness' we're all fucked.

Ugh, it's so overdone.

@ cunning::
The H stands for Herbert?

Oops. Caught lurking blogs again.

I wasn't all that impressed with Breakfast at Tiffany's either, felt it was overdone as well. Plus the part where she makes the cat leave made me want to shoot her. Yup.
