Should this be classed as a buddy movie? The nature of Billy and Sidney's itneraction probably fits that definition? --MartinUK 13:26, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I just saw this movie on television in Nova Scotia on Eastlink Cable and I am somewhat sure the following quote from Wikipedia page is wrong: "Winning or losing is all one organic mechanism, from which one extracts what one needs."

It seems to me she did not use the word mechanism but, rather, used some other word. Another person in this same building using this same cable feed (that also provides this internet link so might be co-alterable) also thinks the word was not mechanism but he too isn't sure what word it actually was.

Obviously the range of words that would fit the context is all one organic glob of words, but a glob of how many characters, how many of which can cary within what range of pronunciations? ;)

Aha, the guy just claimed that she said globule. (Yes, I am still watching the same movie.) Is the guy misquoting her? The guy is McLeod's (sp?) apprentice Robbie, from the "there can only be 144,000" (or whatever ;)) tradition. (No, wait, 144,000 is moremen not lowlanders... ;) :D)
