A Good Cry

Nickey: “Perfect choice, Shee.” Sheila: “I’ve always loved ‘Steel Magnolias.’ It’s got some of the best bitchery in the whole world.”
Nickey: “Except for this part.” Sheila: “Yeah, the onion they call it. The thing that makes the audience cry”
Nickey and Sheila watch, deeply moved.
Nickey (crying): “You won’t tell the team, right?” Sheila (also crying): “Bugger ‘em; if they say they don’t cry, they’re either lying or dead.”

I still say that 1989’s Steel Magnolias is one of the best films ever made. The chemistry of the cast is absolutely perfect; likewise the dialog, with memorable lines like “Are you high, Clairee?” and “”I really do love football, but it’s hard to parlay that into a reason to live” are cherished memories. If you’ve not seen it, treat yourself now. And watch out for the onion.

Hope the holding hands leads to them realizing something.
