The guy behind me on line for the train . . .

. . . sounded exactly like a David Mamet character. I mean, exactly. Or like Eric Bogosian doing a David Mamet character. I only wish I had a good ear for dialogue and could get it down for you. OK, we don’t use the word fuck on this blog but I could substitute something like f*** and you’d get the point.

He was on his cell phone and seemed to be talking with his wife or girlfriend, explaining why they should get back together. It was a bit of a cross between Alec Baldwin and Jack Lemmon.

    Yeawhanow? Their characters represent polar opposites in Glengarry Glen Ross.

    However, I can easily imagine a guy being alternately a bully then a whiner when trying to convince his ex to get back together. So there’s that.

    • I feel that mathematically “on line” works better.

      Plus great movie. Though the Alec Baldwin scene wasn’t in the play, which caught me by surprise.
