      hell and hello



      Talking to my friends about ROBIN.WILLIAMS I watched his relatively new movie "Marriage Certificate" a few days ago. I haven't dared to watch it since it was released until last month, and I haven't had the urge to buy a DVD. I can't remember the losing streak after ROBIN's transformation. Interest moved him to tears again.

    Movie quotes

    • Vladimir Ivanoff: That be two big Macs, one quarter pounder with cheese, six pieces chicken McNuggets, two boxes Ronald McDonald cookies, one order McFries, two chocolate McShakes. Meh that to go?

      Woman in McDonalds: No, I eat it here.

      Vladimir Ivanoff: Come back McSoon.

    • The Judge: Ladies and Gentlemen, good morning. Today you will become citizens of the United States of America. No longer are you an Englishman, Italian, a Pole or whatever, neither will you be a hyphenated American. From this day you are no longer a subject of a governement, but an intergal part of the government, a free man. May you find in this nation the fulfillment of your dreams of Peace and Security, and may America in turn never find you wanting in your new proud role of citizen of the United States. Will the petitioners please rise. Now let us take the oath of allegiance.

      Vladimir Ivanoff: [voice over as he plays his saxophone in the park] This is a free country, welcome to almost anyone. And I'm hoping someday maybe you will join me here. Of course I will continue to write to you every week. Yes, in America almost anything is possible. Goodbye for now my beloved family. I love you. Voyia
