-"Juno"

2. Gust Avrakotos: “There's a little  boy. On his 14th birthday, he gets a horse. Everyone in the village says, 'How wonderful. The boy got a horse.' But a Zen master says, 'We'll see.'  Two years later, the boy falls off the horse and breaks his leg. Everyone in the village says, 'How terrible.' The Zen master says, 'We'll see.' Then a war breaks out and all the young men have to go out and fight - except the boy can't because his leg is all messed up. And everyone in the village says, 'Oh, how wonderful.'..."
-"Charlie Wilson’s War"

And the envelope, please....

1. Plainview: “I... drink... your... milkshake! I drink it up!”
