The Clinton Crew Takes Over

Thursday, December 9, 2010


For some reason, I'm reminded of the movie, 'The Competitio­n'.

There was there was this scene in it where the conductor (Sam Wanamaker) throws a tantrum and tells Amy Irving that she can't just suddenly choose to play a different concerto (the piano she had already begun to compete on broke a string) while they're swapping out the broken piano for another one.  When her teacher and her boyfriend challenge the conductor, demanding to know, "Why not?", he comes up with excuse after excuse, each shot down as either not true, not a problem, etc., until finally the conductor sniffs, "Well, maybe I'm not in a mood for the Profofiev Third!"  

Amy Irving's teacher (Lee Remick) fixes him with a glare and says: "It costs extra to carve 'schmvck' on a tombstone, but you would definitely be worth the expense!"
