Day-umn. There I was, seeing journal headings and thinking you were talking Alan Rickman. Oh well! .. the Karate Kid film does kinda rock, though.

And I quote..."
METATRON: I'm afraid so. One of the drawbacks to being a martyr is that you have to die. But no matter - all is being taken care of.
SERENDIPITY: How so?
METATRON: Wax on, wax off.
(points OC)
The Woman rolls up Her sleeves and slaps Her palms together - Mister Miyagi style - and rubs them furiously. She places both hands over Bethany's wound and presses down. Bethany snaps her eyes open and jolts forward, coughing. She looks up and sees Metatron.
BETHANY: You! But... I was... how did I...?!
METATRON: You didn't. You died. But She can rebuild you. She has the technology. She can make you better, stronger, faster.
"... (extract from the script from 'dogma')
The Metatron, as any Kevin Smith fan knows, was played by Alan Rickman. .. *doth worship at the dual shrines of Kevin Smith and Alan Rickman*.. ergo, 'wax on, wax off'. Alan Rickman moment.
I get the feeling Kevin Smith may just have a certain liking for the karate kid films.

...and Star Wars...
But I, being a film buff, would refer to the original source of the quote, as opposed to the reference in the superb, but on seen once, film-of-Dogma. I am insulted!

No. I want Gabriel Byrne. But that is an entirely different matter...
"Ooh a pony!" is a good phrase though.

.. true. Alas, for the upper-middle class childhood as a spoilt brat that would've enabled me to use the phrase.

Yes, alas. feh.
Actually, I prefer being hard up. *would hate to be a brat*
Although having money would be appreciated.
