"...a disaster of really Biblical proportions..." |
|
VENKMAN (ignores him) ... or you can accept the fact that this city is heading for a disaster of really Biblical proportions.
MAYOR What do you mean "Biblical?"
VENKMAN Old Testament, Mr. Mayor. "Wrath of God"-type stuff. The seas could boil, fire and brimstone falling from the sky ...
STANTZ (chimes in) ... forty years of darkness, earthquakes, mass hysteria, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together...
MAYOR Enough! I get the point. (really torn) But what if you're wrong?
VENKMAN If I'm wrong then nothing happens and you toss us in the can. But if I'm right, and if we can stop this thing ... well, let's just say that you could save the lives of a lot of registered voters.
Just something I happened to think of to lighten the mood.

6. I use that figure of speech myself, along with |
|
saying spectacular car chases are "out of action movies". I see no problem in finding similarities between reality and fiction.

7. I understand ... I dislike using 'of Biblical proportions,' which we can't |
|
document, or The Holocaust, which we can document, as overused descriptive qualifiers for modern day catastrophes. To me there's just no comparison.

3. Let's Give The Phelps Family A Holiday... |
|
Let's Give Preacher Phelps and the rest of his Westboro Baptist flock a free holiday downstream from New Orleans tonight and Monday night! If he's going to be talking about the Old Testament, he can familiarize himself with what an O.T. event ought to look like.

8. Actually, I'm Against The Tying Part... |
|
Actually, I'm against the tying part. Let's let fools of that stripe reap the consequences of their own self-will run riot. I think the Phelps bunch would be out on the levy by their own volition trying to imitate the guy who stilled the waters--without that guy's success.
