The perfect voice
If you don’t watch General Hospital, allow me to catch you up on the past 30 years.
Luke and Laura still love one another but are apart.
The hospital is under quarantine, once again.
The entire city has multiple nightclubs, casinos, bars, hotels and mansions but no bathrooms.
Sonny Corinthos is the nicest mob boss in Port Charles.
OK, ya with me so far? Here’s the latest:
Anthony Zaccara is not paralyzed. The wheelchair is fake. The psychopath tendencies are not. Anthony hates his daughter, Claudia, who is married to Sonny. So, when Anthony expresses sweet sentiments of concern over his daughter’s well-being after she collapses due to the toxin released through the ventilation system of the hospital (see: quarantine) Sonny reacts.
He did not say, “Don’t try to fool me old man.”
He did not say “Don’t lie to me you sonofabitch.”
He did say, “Don’t piss on my head and tell me it’s raining.”
And you know what? A writer came up with that.
LOL, that’s fantastic! Gosh, I have to use that sentence some day! Doesn’t it make you just groan?
Man, I wish I could write like that! What masterful prose. Maybe whoever wrote that line could ghostwrite the book for 14-kid single mom?
First, damn that pic of “Sonny” is HOT! Next, I have been watching that show since I was 8or 9 – the summer Luke and Laura first got married. (’78-79?) I haven’t seen it in probably 5 years though – at least no more than having it on in the background.
That line cracks me up!
I’m finally getting around to adding you to my blogroll.
Haha…love it!
This is hilarious! That writer was bored with the stilted, same-ole same-ole, lines and decided to shake things up a bit.
I loved it and will surely use it someday in someway.
thanks for the new background photo for my work computer.
Dear Sonny, it is a nice picture.
It’s good to see GH hasn’t changed much. I just read they’re going to renovate the hospital as a side effect of the quarantine.
I used to love Sonny, way back when he was with Brenda, then the chick that Ricky Martin loved…
A GH writer wrote that? That’s a good one!
And some things never change. With soaps the storylines migrate from one studio to the next. (This coming from a former AMC and ATWT viewer.)
Love that!!!!
My dad and all his pals have the most ridiculous “mob-like” sayings (some of them are bookies). I sprinkle them liberally in my work:
“If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying hard enough.”
And my favorite, courtesy of my father, as he was taking everything in the Hyatt hotel that wasn’t nailed down to furnish my college apartment (and I wonder now what all the nicely-bred Southern Baptist girls thought of me . . . oh, wait . . . I KNOW what they thought–LOL!) . . .
“Girls, a day without larceny is like a day without sunshine.”
