Olivia looks concerned, pointing at her legs.
OLIVIA: "HEY! What about the bottom?"
MEG: "I think we have some Band-Aids and dental floss in the bathroom..."
A Bronx cheer to all the haters and complainers!
I keep my old Mac G3 running just so I can use Chicago Font for writing in AppleWorks. It is so clear and sharp for my poor old eyes, no matter the scaling.
What was Meg planning to do with the Band-aids and dental floss?
There’s a scene in “6 Days 7 Nights” where the heroine asks Harrison Ford, “Aren’t you one of those guys? You know, one of those guy-guys where you give them a pocket knife and a q-tip and they build you a shopping mall?” I think that’s what Meg was getting at here.
