R2D2:

Hi, lil. Any guesses ? Guesses get clues.

Zark! Foiled again!
Artoo, you're late! Late! Late! Everyone's going to be turning the page at the wrong time!

R2D2: Bleep?

Er, speaking of late...it's...well, late.

Must...resist...the warmth...of...the bread...
Arthur? Puppy!

Good

Night

Night.

Night Haikeeba



OOooh.. Like Yael, it seems very familiar!

it doesnt sound even slightly familiar to me

Well, three ladies in distress rates as well as a legitimate guess. . .I guess.

1) “Oh, where are we ?”
*how stupid can you be ?* “On the moon.”

2) “My friends and I are looking for three men. . . . one who is extremely large and strong.”
*laughs* “Oh, we’re all extremely large and strong here.”

3) “I must inform you, my liege, without my adventures, you wouldn’t be here.”
“Well, so now I am part of your adventures ? Well, we shall see about that, huh.”

4)“Oh, here comes my midget manservant with the petit fours.”

5) “Why is she making those funny noises ?”
“Eh. . . her body is with the king and he is, uh. . . tickling her feet.”

6)“I’ve got something here for you. A diamond.”
“Oh, you’re so sweet. *said to another character with ennui* Another diamond.”

7)“Oh, no. I couldn’t do that. No. Not since I found myself, no. Now I really--no, I never really wanted to be big and strong and lug heavy things about. No. Now I know I want to be dainty and sensitive. They call me the midget down here. I love it. It’s bliss.”
“He’s gone funny.”

Arrrr, cigardener be a harsh mistress.

*Stops jumping* Ah, right, I guess I don't know it after all.

I envy you for the chance to see it for the first time. It' one of my all time faves.

Aw, shoot ! My monkey quit dancing.

On the subect of dancing monkeys and things French: Allow me to share with you a little tidbit that I found in Moliere.

In Le Malade Imaginaire there are musical interludes between the acts which involved both singing and dancing. Between Act I and Act II, the perfomers come out as "Egyptiens" who are in turn dressed as Moors.
At he end of the interlude, there is the following stage instruction: "Tous les Mores dansent ensemble, et font sauter des singes qu'ils ont amenes avec eux."

Need a translation ?

Looking again it actually takes place between Act II and Act III.
It's the very last instruction before Act III.

This place is getting weird...

How so ?

I don't know. Maybe I should have done more than scan the blog...

Sorry, I'm fairly new so I don't get what you mean by "scan the blog".

Oh, sorry! Blog=backlog=everything that's been said since last time I was in here... And all I did was scan it, not read it all the way through...

Well, the monkey stuff is in 675,77-80,88,90.

Thanks!
