Stolen Lines #6

"You really don't know what I'm talking about, do you?"

Who was that guy from that movie... with the hair and the chin?
Ummm.... Willem Dafoe?
No! He was in that one with the painting and the guy who was James Bond but not Connery and not the new one.
Charles Bronson? Haha no, Pierce Brosnan?
Pierce Brosnan. Remington Steele. God, I loved that show when I was a kid. I wonder whatever happened to Stephanie Zimbalist, and why I rememeber her name immediately but am completely blanking on this guy. He was in the movie with Pierce Brosnan.
So wait, you weren't talking about Pierce Brosnan?
No I was talking about the guy with the hair who was in that Pierce Brosnan movie that you like. The one with the painting and the girl who my sister thinks is pretty but I don't get that at all.
How am I supposed to know who your sister thinks is pretty?
Right... ummm.... oh! she was in that Mel Gibson movie like forever ago, the one where he was a cop with Danny Glover and Joe Pesci was annoying?
Lethal Weapon?
Yeah she was in one of those movies. And the movie with the painting! You know what I mean.
Ummm
You really don't know what I'm talking about, do you?
Ummmm
The movie with the painting ... and the apple?
Oh! Oh!! The Thomas Crowne Affair! Yeah I did love that movie. What about it?
No, I am trying to think of the guy who was in that movie.
Pierce Brosnan? Oh, I think the girl was Renee Russo.
Yeah it was her. No!! The guy with the hair and the chin and the teeth... the blond guy?
Willem Dafoe?
He was in Thomas Crown Affair?
No, but whenever you say blonde guy and chin its who I think of.
Denis Leary!
What?
I remembered, I was thinking of Denis Leary.
What about him?
Ummmm..... I've forgotten.
