Too bad Persis Khambatta isn't around to inspire me.<BR/><BR/>Mike P., Marvin's Kid Sheleen is a great character. I was actually thinking about a bit where someone's scolding Sheleen about being a drunk and says, "You'd like a drink better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stub, wouldn't you?" to which Marvin quite sensibly agrees. Funny thing is I remember that even though I haven't seen the movie in at least 25 years. My mind is an attic indiscriminately crammed with crap.<BR/><BR/>Ronnie, thanks.
