The other night after everyone had left the boy's apartment, Josh, Thomas, and I stayed up and watched television. We flipped through the channels and saw Latino music videos (which are all about infidelity in some sort of form), Japanese cartoons which seem even more frightening and surreal in Italian than in English, and we finally landed on a screening of Quentin Tarantino's _Reservoir Dogs_. I have seen it a thousand times and loved it each screening. We sat and waited to see if it would be in Italian or English. It was the scene where Mr. Orange (now revealed to be an undercover cop) is walking around his apartment before he meets up with the rest of the robbers. He puts on his wedding ring, he messes up his hair, he turns off the television, and exits the door. He then comes back in and syches himself up in front of the mirror. In Italian he says the lines I know by heart, "They don't know nothing. They don't know shit. You're fucking cool."
We heard the Italian. We changed the channel.
