This just happened - My warped real life meets warped movie lilfe...

[ntrprnr 0]

I just came out of a meeting, and was walking back to my office on 57th St. I stopped at a pizza place on 41st street to grab a slice that I knew I'd have to run 4 miles to burn off later.

I order, and step back. Guy behind me orders. I couldn't make the following up if I tried.

"Can I have two meatball sandwiches, a Tuna on wheat, and two lemonades, please?"

I blinked, then couldn't help myself. I looked right at the guy and said, "Are you so hungry that you could eat the acid out of the ass of a dead rhino?"

To which the guy looked at me and said, "Excuse me?"

Dejected (And bummed that probably the only time in my life I'd have a chance to say that was not gotten, reference-wise), I said, "Never mind, I thought you were someone else,"

UNTIL...

The guy behind HIM, turned to me and said, "Hey, see that Lincoln pull up?"

My eyes brightened again! I turned to him and said "What Lincoln?"

Then we both said, in unison, "FBI! FREEZE!" and things like "BOHDI, THIS IS YOUR WAKE UP CALL! I! AM! AN! FBI! AGENT!"

We spent the next minute or two shouting out other assorted lines, until my pizza arrived and I walked out. As I walked out, I turned around and said "Thank you very much, and please! Don't forget to vote!"

I walked out in TEARS, it was so damn funny. 30 people in the restaurant, easily - none of them having a CLUE as to what we were doing.

Only in New York, kids. Only in New York.

"Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"
"Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

I love it when he's getting his surfboard and the kid tells him that "surfin's the SOURCE" and that he shouldn't give up, even at his age.

Keanu: I'm 27

kid: yeah, that's what I'm sayin, stick with it.

August 2005. Jumpjunkie and I sit in a 206 flying over Baja, Mexico. As we near jump run, I do the obligatory dialogue.

DOUVA
I know it's hard for you, Johnny. I know you want me so bad it's like acid in your mouth. But not this time!

I look around to see if I've confused any of the Mexican skydivers on the load and realize the jumper sitting next to me is staring at me.

LOCAL MEXICAN SKYDIVER
Adios, amigo!

He smiles.

LOCAL MEXICAN SKYDIVER (cont'd)
That's one of my favorite movies!

I guess skydiver love for Point Break is universal. };^)

I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.
