No, I Couldn't Marry You, Jason Bourne

I want you to listen to me very carefully and do only and exactly what I tell you.

Walk straight ahead.

Under the awning there is a man with a blue hood. Stop in front of him.

Turn around and face him.

O.k....now. Now! To your right--move!

There is a set of double doors to your left leading into the train depot. Go through them in 4...3...2...1.

Move through that crowd.

Wait! Drop and tie your shoe! Now!

No! Not there!

Wait.

O.k. Get up.

I'm coming up on your left. When I pass you, I want you to turn and walk the other direction.

What?

The other direction from the way I'm going.

No. Not the other direction from where you're facing. How can I know which way you'll be facing when you stand up?

No, don't stand up yet!

Oh. I did? I told you to stand up?

So then, you're standing up?

O.k. then nevermind. I'm not going to pass you, so you don't need to worry about going in the other direction.

Hello?

O.k. To your left there should be a gift store.

Go in. You'll exit through the back doors to the right.

What?

There's no gift store?

I was sure there was one right there.

Well? What is there?

A wall?

Hmmmm.

Wow. Sorry, man. My bad.

This isn't going exactly as I'd hoped.

Hello?

Hello?...

-Husband, author of this parody,
man of many muscles,
who now can't help himself
but make swishing and
whooshing sound effects
to accompany his karate moves--
and makes. me. laugh.
like you never could, Jason Bourne.

It wasn't gonna work out with me and Jason either. Seems as though association with Jason Bourne increases one's liklihood of meeting with an untimely demise.

But was that not one of the BEST movies? LOVED IT!

He'll be heartbroken, I'm sure.

Your comment on my blog had me laughing and crying at the same time. You know my heart so well.

I would agree that life with Jason Bourne probably doesn't include very many laughs.

Brenda said...

Oh, gotta love husband being "inspired" by the movie!!! He needs a soundtrack!

Laura Talbert said...

Oh how I loved this!! (A real LOL.) Almost as much as I love Jason Bourne. ;)

That was a GREAT movie.

And the thought of your husband making sounds and acting stuff out? Hilarious.

That's hilarious, and very creative~

I guess I need to get up to date on these movies. Husband loves them, but I'm not so much into that kind of movie. He sounds like a fun guy -

When I first started reading this I thought that's not how the scene went! Ahhh, it's a parody. Ok, I'm not crazy. Then I thought, this is quite different writing for you...until I saw the source. Thank your husband for entertaining us.

I'm just sorry, Robert, that you didn't get a chance to read it with the right theme music when it was a new post. I'm sure it looses something without Mission Impossible playing in the background.

Somehow, I'm guessing my usual fare of Early Music just isn't the same. ;)

See? I told you. This is totally a man-movie. Yuck, yuck and blech. I ate buttered popcorn until I thought I'd puke and then took a nice nap in my wonderful "stadium" seat. Rocks and reclines, you know.

The amazing thing is, Rob never even noticed. He was so into this movie he never even noticed I was napping. LOL

I suppose it was an OK movie, especially if you'd seen the first two Bourne movies and had a clue what was going on, which I hadn't.

I'm pretty sure when Rob was watching the first two on our Netflix subscription, I was probably in the bedroom watching something seriously inspiring like The Bachelor.

LOL

No way. Sorry, Grafted Branch's hubby. I'm holding out for The Nanny Diaries.

Not that I don't respect your opinion and your wonderful sense of humor. It's just that I seriously needed a nap and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. :-)

Very funny! :)

I love those sequences. I sometimes think they are just how God works...perfectly coordinated steps and moves that make no sense to us because we can't see what is ahead. We have to wait and listen specifically to His direction in order to even survive. We've just lived thru a season that has illustrated this to me with even more clarity. And yet - He can be trusted!

(Still...very funny hubby!) :)
