Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:




Brenda: Uh, those are hot dogs, right?
Hot Dog Vendor: Yeah, want one?
Brenda: Mmm, yeah I'd love one.
Hot Dog Vendor: That'll be two bucks.
[Brenda hands him a check] A check?
Brenda: Yeah, but it's a good check. See, Chris' mom wrote it to Chris 'cause Chris bought her something, I can't remember what. Then I bought Chris some press-on nails, I gave Chris the difference, and she wrote the check over to me. So I'll write the check over to you, you keep the difference, and I'll take the hot dog. So, you got a pen?
Hot Dog Vendor: Get outta here!
Brenda: Wait! I'm starving,
you'd rather
throw it away than give it to me?
Hot Dog Vendor: I work on a cash-only basis.
Brenda: But it's a perfectly good check!
Hot Dog Vendor: No! I'll make it very clear.
You slip me the cash, and I'll slip you the weiner.
Brenda: But I don't have any cash!
Hot Dog Vendor: Then I don't have a weiner!

"You slip me the cash and I'll slip you the weiner"
is literally the mantra of my entire life. It is everything.

I fucking love "Adventures in Babysitting"!!! The whole film is amazing. I think if I had to pick my absolute favorite moment it would have to be the club scene where they all sing "Babysitting Blues". It's the kind of scene that I honestly don't think you could get away with doing nowadays. I would love it if it could be done and maybe it can but I've yet to see that kind of a "movie moment" happen in a film of that nature made within the last twenty years. Great post! I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves this classic.
