Ever wondered how a simple act of kindness can transform lives? What happens when a kind-hearted cop, played by Nicolas Cage, decides to share his lottery winnings with a waitress, sparking a cascade of generosity? Our latest episode navigates this heartwarming journey through the 1994 romantic comedy "It Could Happen to You," inviting listeners to reflect on the power of selflessness and moral integrity in a world that often feels void of such virtues.

Join us as we explore the contrasting path money can take relationships—where one partner indulges in opulence while the other chooses community and charity. We discuss the film's pivotal moments: from apartment remodeling and misguided financial advice to the ensuing legal battle and the blossoming of new love. Through these trials, the story paints a vivid picture of differing values and priorities, igniting a conversation about the essence of true character when faced with fortune.

Expect laughter and nostalgia as we discuss the chemistry between Cage, Bridget Fonda, and the ever-charming Stanley Tucci. We share reviews and personal anecdotes, pondering the rarity of true kindness amid modern cynicism. With a feel-good essence that resonates with many, we celebrate the film's enduring appeal and contemplate how its narrative could inspire us to aspire for a kinder, more generous world.

Speaker 2

hi and welcome back to another installment. I'd like to thank you know, emily, for that great intro, and we are just chugging along on this nick cage express. We're gonna do something a little different. It's another Nick Cage movie. It's going to be much more lighthearted than, I guess, most of the ones we've done so far.

Speaker 3

He's been in some lighthearted ones.

Speaker 2

One.

Speaker 3

Kylie.

Speaker 2

Yeah, Sean.

Speaker 3

Kylie, I just waved at her. No one yeah.

Speaker 2

But I think the ones we've done so far have been not as like a rom-com in a sense.

Speaker 3

I mean minstrel is a rom-com and then also the family man is one, but I guess, yeah, it's not technically, technically I'm the same, this one, it's cheesier than both of those okay, but in a sense, like this is purely a rom-com, in a sense romance yeah, we're all romantic. Yeah, why don't you say the name of your movie?

Speaker 2

And the movie's called it Could Happen to you.

Speaker 3

Yeah, it came out in 1994 when I was but four years old. It was that Nicolas Cage has been an adult longer than I even existed, so that's great. It has Rosie Perez, bridget F fonda, wendell pierce in it. And for those oh, and I almost forgot about isaac case, and for those who don't know what it's about, it's basically about monique cage's character, who is a who's a cop with a big heart and he realizes he has for for his food at a diner that he doesn't have any money to tip. So he offers to bring a tip the next day, or half the winnings of the lottery ticket he has, and he asks her to pick. And she picks the lottery ticket, thinking he won't come back. He does come back and he actually ends up winning $4 million. So he gives her half of that with her, with the waitress, and then shenanigans ensue.

Speaker 2

Essentially, Correct and the reason why. I guess what's interesting about this movie is that it's not nick cage as a vampire, it's not nick cage fighting crime. He's a regular dude, he's a regular guy. But it's like the land, the lens of how people view how the world should be like morally, should be consciously, should be like how people should act towards each other. Nick cage is like the he represents, like morally how people should act, you know, towards another person yeah, like in the movie, he is definitely what one would love to see and aspire to see in society Even love to be.

Speaker 3

I would love to be that selfless we were talking about watching it. No one pretty much no one, would with that money, with a person they didn't even know. But you say you have to suspend your disbelief a little bit. But he is just genuinely a kind-hearted person who wants to hold himself to a higher standard. I would say correct.

Speaker 2

So and that was like the pain I won't say the pain point because, as you mentioned, we like, given the situation, like now, we wouldn't make that choice because, hard times going across, there's no way any right person would make that choice. So so it's like the degrees of like, how good of a person he is and I think I made the comment like he's such a good person, like karma or something somewhere is looking out for him because there's no way that he can be generally this good person and no good fortune is coming his way like they're.

Speaker 3

Just, it can't be that possible I mean and you could look at it as in such a good person of why he won the lotto for four million dollars, and this is in 1994. So basically, double that for what it would be to the today's standard maybe eight million in currency, and then, after taxes, or they probably have about four million left over, or, in their case, two million. They probably have about $4 million left over or, in their case, $2 million. And so he's giving her a million dollars, which is enough in 1994 to last probably your whole life, if you don't go crazy with it. And I think that's probably. He did win it because he's a good person. In the film Obviously we don't see him before. He's doing all those things, but he's a cop and even though cops aren't great, I can imagine his character became one to help people. He knows people in his neighborhood, he knows all the people around the block that he patrols and they all know him. He's very kind person. So I think that's why I want it.

Speaker 2

But I feel, like for if you're going to become a police officer you gotta watch this movie. And like they have to do like a character piece or character, like dissection of nick cage's character in this movie because he clearly he lives in the neighborhood that he is in charge patrolling and he's in charge of don't to protect and so like he's out there doing oh, off the job he's doing like community service, like he's getting to know people he's they know who he is, like they know he's a cop. He's out there playing ball, so people are aware and they know he's a cop. So so he's doing that and I'm like this is that's how you build that repertoire.

Speaker 3

I'm like that's good policing yeah, that is, and obviously in addition to having to, I think, like years of training, yeah, but yeah, it's a good. That's a good example of what people could be at their best, because he does try very hard to take care of the community and help people and and do what he can. So I guess maybe we should get into it. What are some of your favorite scenes?

Speaker 2

I think my favorite scene would be clearly the moment he wins, like without a second thought, like it's not, oh, let me think on it, let me wait, I'm just goes back and gives her you know her the portion of the winning the lotto ticket, like with the winnings, doesn't consult his wife. Then it goes back because he made a promise.

Money, Relationships, and Paying It Forward

Speaker 3

It wasn't like, oh, you know, he went back, he made a promise, he's not gonna break it, he did consult his wife, remember, and she told him not to do it and he said but I okay, I promise, and for him that means a lot, like it meant a lot to keep his word okay, I totally forgot that.

Speaker 2

But so, yeah, he for him keeping his word meant things like he was a man of his word. So I thought my God, so I thought that was something like his integrity. You know, is what you know his character.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 2

So that I think that was my favorite scene, because again it goes back to any other person who would have won and made that like slight promise would have won and made that like slight promise because she was half expecting people talk to me all the time and don't pay stuff. I'm never going to see this guy again.

Speaker 3

Yeah, she was definitely shocked by him coming back, which I think is sort of in all of us. I also think too, I did like that scene I also, and I enjoyed how she was in disbelief. But his kind gesture then prompts her to have a kind gesture where she decides to buy the diner she works at so that she can properly pay her peers who are once her peers and now her employees and end up having a booth for where people can and can't afford to eat. Can't come and eat, I think yeah that's what she has.

Speaker 3

So I saw that was. That was one of my favorite like parts of the story where she takes his good deed and then she commits a good deed, because I think that's definitely something that can happen.

Speaker 2

Pay it forward.

Speaker 3

Yeah, when someone does something really nice for you because you're not expecting it. Sometimes and I hope more often people then are doing something really nice for someone else because they're not anticipating it, and then you think about it more Obviously. You think about the times when people are mean to you, but you do think about the times where strangers are nice to you, where when they could have been mean or could have done other things, and you remember that and sometimes hold it when you're interacting with someone in the future. But I thought that was really nice. That was one of my. I also enjoy where the story goes. It's like a two hour long movie like goes on such a journey. But I I also enjoyed the scene where they're both at the um what is it like? A an event for the people who won the money, and they're just talking to a lot of people and they both just seem very uncomfortable, like they don't want to be there, but they are there like because they have to be. So I think it's meant to show that they're.

Speaker 2

They have a lot in common, but I like that too my other favorite scene is like when he tells his wife about the winnings and you can see like the glean in her eye and in her mind. You can already see like all the materialistic things like she's going to buy, because prior to that she's like talking about my, my husband works this job, I'm all about trying to shoot upwards, improve myself. And then you're thinking, okay, maybe she's going to do all the improvements if they come into money and so, the moment they do, she wants to go on a shopping spree.

Speaker 3

Yeah, and they're very clearly ill-suited for each other. Up to that point.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 2

They may have been in love and it sounds like they were deeply in love at one point, but at the point of the movie she's very dissatisfied with their lives like she, yeah, like you would think, like she would be like wanting to invest, improve their status, but she was literally just like trying to burn through the money, improve herself, all these businesses, make all this stuff, and he, oh, being the husband, yeah, and so you could see they were two very opposite. Like he was just grateful for the money and she was like trying to brand herself and like how much I can spend buying very expensive clothes, all these materialistic things, and I'm thinking what the hell? But that was my favorite, my one of my favorite scenes, like when he announced it and she instantly started planning all this stuff that they could do with the money.

Speaker 2

Like not for them, but for her yeah and and he was just like okay, he never disagreed with her.

Speaker 3

So I thought like let her go on a spending spree and then he him and the waitress took their money and they went and did a lot like a volunteer event for, or they brought kids in the neighborhood that were less fortunate to. When you call those an arena, but baseball field yeah, baseball field they brought, didn't they bring, like the Mets, baseball fielders?

Speaker 2

yeah, the.

Speaker 3

Yankees? Yeah, so they would. They took the money and they went and did that, which I think is meant to highlight the differences. Because she does go on a sending spree, she does call and remodel their whole apartment, which makes me think they must own it or they must end up finding it out. I'm not certain, but honestly it's just a million dollars. So I'm thinking like how could she have afforded to go do all that work with?

Speaker 2

it. It reminded me of like the Emperor's New Clothes, like the story because, like she was taking advice from like her friends, people who didn't have good financial sense and health, like she was buying all these materialistic because when he gets home and sees every like the apartment being remodeled, she goes oh yeah, we can just move out of state and we can have this to avoid taxes and things like that. I'm like who told you that? And you know she's like trying these different things to like because she feels like they're a new tax bracket. Like where is she getting this information from?

Speaker 3

you know, from the quote-unquote yeah, meant to save them money.

Speaker 2

Which she ended up burning money quicker. Quicker.

Speaker 3

Yeah, and then she sues them and remember, and they're forced to get. Ultimately spoiler alert they're forced to give his ex-wife all of the winnings because he didn't have the authority to quote-unquote split it with with her and they're like getting a divorce or something like that, and then the other girl's ex-husband or ex-boyfriend whatever who was abusive, he comes back and tries to steal her money too. And this is all while they're falling in love so so that does happen.

Speaker 3

It does go to show in his character, though, because he she's upset because she had bought the diner and now she's concerned about her friend or not her friends, her managing being able to live and have a job and people being able to eat and all these things. And he's only concerned because I think he loses his job as a cop for a bit yeah, so he gets put on leave because there's a lot of unwanted attention with the suit.

Money and Relationships in Film

Speaker 3

So he can't work and this is whole thing because his wife is bringing him to like the trial for this and he's like it's just unwanted attention for him and uh, ultimately a reporter comes in on the night that before they're supposed to close down the diner and she gives him, pretending to be a homeless man, and she gives him free food and he snaps pictures and then writes about them in the paper and everyone reads it, about what happened to them, and starts sending in money and they become wealthy anyway, and then rosie perez, his ex-wife, ends up falling for a con man who steals all her money and she ends up poor anyway, and that's how that it ends um but so yeah, it was.

Speaker 3

I thought it was a good movie. I had a lot of enjoyable scenes. I thought it was lighthearted. Did you have any that were your least favorite?

Speaker 2

The least favorite scene was, for me, is the wife getting him to court like to sue him, because at that moment we all know she had already gone through her villain era. Like she's in her villain era at this point, she had already we don't know how much of she's already spent, but she whoever she's, her accountant, whoever she's been talking to hyped her up and goes yes, this is mine. So yeah, that was like the most least favorite thing.

Speaker 3

Do you think that's something someone would actually do?

Speaker 2

Of course, I do think it's something someone would actually do, because they obtained the money together, they won the money together, so it's both of those and it's also she has a claim at it as well, so the fact that he gave it away while they were together, she can still sue for it, yeah, which I mean technically is in a way, justifiable.

Speaker 3

I could see that being an issue had it not been such a large sum, but because they were together and he was willing to split part of his million, it's not give her all of his million. She was just being greedy at that point because you don't need that much money.

Speaker 3

If it was you and your partner won $20,000 together and then they give away 10 grand. I could see how you would be upset because, technically, and then you're away 10 grand. I could see how you would be upset because, technically, and then you're forced to split their main amount. You could have had more money and you don't have a lot of money. To begin with, that's not a lot of money, but they were in the millions, I would say.

Speaker 3

My least favorite scene is probably more so for character. I think that they definitely obviously did caricature of for a villain because he's such a good person that they have to have the counter acting agent, the antagonist in the film, which is definitely her, as she's supposed to be in her villain era. But I just wish it hadn't been Rosie Perez, or like a Latina. I feel like it definitely stereotyped a little bit that people within that culture or ethnicity are like that. I think it would have been probably more ideal to have a fellow white person in the role so as to not put that on her because it does make her seem like she's just a money-hungry latino woman and he's just a kind-hearted white man cop.

Speaker 3

You know that part I didn't love, but obviously this is 30 years ago. Rosie peros is trying to make her money and she's played the part.

Speaker 2

Yeah, also for me the other part was the point where the wife tried to humiliate the diner chick.

Speaker 3

Well, why didn't she do that? I can't remember.

Speaker 2

When in the court room or after, like when he's the guy when Frank is being sued, and in the case is that they bring her when they finally go to trial. And they bring her there and she gets humiliated by his ex-wife's lawyers. It was all for show, but like the fact that they had to grill her, his ex-wife's lawyers. It was all for show, but the fact that they had to grill her this could have been all done behind closed doors.

Speaker 3

Yeah, and then it was very public so everyone saw it, which is, I think, a terrible part of our system to a certain degree. Obviously, some things should be out public, public, but with the world we live in, media wise, now, certain things that should maintain being maintained privately, like a rape victim or certain things, people end up finding it out and it ends up being more public than it should be and it doesn't always lead to proper justice or fairness within the eyes of the people his wife was going to, ultimately just it was going to go, the bird was going to go in her favor.

Speaker 2

But just this could have been done behind closed doors. I mean, she could agree to just give the money back, but the fact that they brought her in who's whore and in a diner, and so you saw my husband as an opportunity, yeah, they did humiliate her.

Speaker 3

And then they kept referencing that he's an opportunist opportunity for you and you were seducing him oportunist opportunity for you and you were seducing him, yeah, and so the mainers seem like they did definitely do. They did definitely try to make christine uh harlot manipulating and taking advantage of him for her own benefit, even though that's not what they're really.

Speaker 2

Yeah that wasn't the relationship at all, but but once it's out there, it's public, it's in the paper, like it's public opinion swayed, and then you know. And then his wife got all the good like she was just reveling it because like public, no, she got all the publicity from it.

Speaker 3

You know she thought she was suffering and all these things, but that's why she got karma in the end.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

But yeah, no, I didn't like that either. I also can't. You could not make me believe that he wouldn't his character the way it is wouldn't have agreed privately to just give her all of the money, like I feel. Like that he would have, though it didn't need to be in court.

Speaker 2

I think. No, I think he did. I think he said that he would just give it.

Speaker 3

I'll give it to them I think she wanted her part too, and that's yeah, and that's why he said no, he goes.

Speaker 2

I can just give you mine and he's. And the wife got green, she goes also what she gave away, buying them one million where you can have two, yeah. So I mean, at that point it's like downfall, queen, he's out, you could have it all yeah, I think this lady also had go.

Speaker 3

Let's start bridget wanda. I think it's gonna have good chemistry too surprisingly good chemistry within it. You could aren't, so they were gonna fall in love with the way that was made. But I thought it was pretty disley done.

Speaker 2

I actually enjoyed it yep, you gotta get someone who looks at you, like nick cage looks at fonda in this movie yeah, the way he.

Speaker 3

I don't care about the money, I only care that it brought me to you.

Speaker 3

I was like, oh, nick cage yeah you believe that for his character real life, probably not for his character. Yeah, it makes sense that he and he's actually a stand-up guy around it. I know that people have opinions on insidality and things like that not I shouldn't say opinions, but they they help. Everyone has a certain difference of monogamy in their relationship and all cases point to his being a monogamous marriage and he doesn't betray that until after, I think she kicks him out and then they sleep together. They're getting a divorce. I think.

Speaker 2

But, I think it was already on the rocky edge.

Speaker 3

I think the money was a cataclysm, not to justify it, but she was also Not to justify it. But she was low-key, flirting and hooking something up with that con man while she was still married too, because they met on the cruise for the winners, or whatever, and Excuse me, and they're the one that Nick Cage misses because they met on the cruise for the winners, or whatever, and excuse me, and the one that Nick Cage misses because he's running later or whatever. And so, yeah, she was all. She was entertaining it, he wasn't, until it was, I think, it was clear they were getting a divorce, and then he ends up sleeping and falling in love with the woman. So they are not too there's. No, I don't think that they cross that boundary, although she does try to make it seem that way in the lawsuit in court back around.

Speaker 2

This movie did play heavily and karma. You know you do bad things and karma will come for you, because the one thing you know uh, it's always said around like you hear that term karma's gonna get you in the end. You know, this was on full display. As we say, the ending is that his ex-wife thought she was scot-free, was gonna live the good life, only to find out she gets conned and actually it's like how I hope to live.

Speaker 3

But I know I we've all done some unfortunate things in our lives. But I remember when I was younger I used to always give money to transients or people who were, who are homeless, because I always thought you never know, that might be like the thing that changes their life. And then I got in trouble once because I gave all my money on a school trip to Canada away on my first day and mom got mad.

Speaker 3

But I was in my head thinking, oh, but you never know, maybe one day that'll change their lives. It doesn't hurt to be a good person, I think is why I like the movie. Yeah, it doesn't hurt to be a good person, and it does take more time and energy to be a terrible person.

Speaker 2

It plays towards the humanity in people. That's why I think a lot of people it. It's like I said it's not dealing with any supernatural, there's no big villains. It like it deals with some real situations that I think at the core of what a person is, the good and bad it plays with a lot of that and how money changes you.

Exploring Money and Kindness

Speaker 2

Yes, exactly how money changes you. Because people can say, oh, no, money doesn't change me. You know it depends, because if you were a good person at the start and you came into money, then yes, you'll still keep that good attitude and still be that same person. I feel like it just amplifies that good nature that you are.

Speaker 3

You know it depends on how much money and how long he spent without it before shifting into it, because jess bezos wasn't always rich and then now he's mega rich and I don't think that he's probably a good person.

Speaker 2

But but was he ever really a good person before he had money?

Speaker 3

he might have been, but I don't know. His wife is a good person. She's giving away all her wealth. You can say that it's careless or whatever way you want to, but it takes a big person to give away all of their money and she's doing it and she's donating it, and maybe she doesn't have enough of an understanding on how to do it, but she's still redistributing her wealth to organizations that don't have it and she's living a modest life like still in seattle. So I think his wife didn't change, even with money.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it just amplifies who, the core of who you are as a person, like if you weren't really a great person before you had this life changing amount of money in your life and now you have it. I don't think it's. You know you're going to be ultimately changed into a good person afterwards. You know you're still going to be ultimately changed into a good person afterwards. You're still going to be that either bad person with money. You just now you can do the things you can't and you're going to be flexing, so it's not going to ultimately change your character.

Speaker 2

You're still going to be that same person. But what would you rate the movie?

Speaker 3

Before I rate it. I almost that stanley tucci is in this movie. I completely forgot it. He's her husband and he has hair and he's a funk.

Speaker 3

I forgot about that, so for those hetero ladies I'm married gay men or queer men, queer ladies, whatever you like men and you'd like to see a handsome man. He's very handsome in it. I thought it was I. He didn't even realize he was in this movie. And then we watched it. I was like, oh, look at him, all young and stuff. He's also been an adult longer than I've lived oh shit, I mean you know what?

Speaker 2

and he hasn't changed except except the hair. But except, yeah, except the hair and getting older. But yeah, he hasn't changed at all. I forgot that he was a nurse but yeah, and how old is he?

Speaker 3

I see he's 63, that makes sense damn wow, that's an old guy. But anyway, that's all I have to say on that, because I forgot to give him the movie. I would give this movie probably three and a half out of five, maybe even a four on a good day.

Speaker 2

I would be right there with you. I'd give it a three and a half because essentially it doesn't get a four, but it's a feel-good movie to watch.

Speaker 3

You could probably watch it once in a while if you want to feel I could definitely watch it again, maybe not immediately religiously as I watch um when hearing that sally, but I could definitely watch it again if you want to feel something, you could put this movie on. It's like a nice good background movie. I'm going to pick it for my rom-com night. My choice pick is in October, so I'm going to pick that movie.

Speaker 2

And then we're going to go to our next section where we read reviews from Letterboxd and we each are going to have two that we'll read. So we'll pick the. We'll read the username and the review and what they rated the movie itself. So I'll go first. So this is going to be from and I do apologize if I mispronounce your username, it's going to be from. I'm a mule and he put down or she put down. Can this happen to me too, please? And three stars. And you know what I feel like majority of the. It was hard to pick a comment because, again, people, all of us are like we want this reality, we want this to happen to ourselves, because it's life changing.

Speaker 3

We always want a waitress and I wouldn't be a waitress in New York because they on the East Coast. They only pay like four dollars an hour because you get tips $4 an hour because you get tips. But anyway, I think there's no one who's not extremely wealthy or wealthy that wouldn't want money.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

Because money changes your life.

Speaker 2

It's life changing.

Speaker 3

It's life changing. It can change everything about the world that you're living in, and it doesn't even have to be that you're becoming rich. It could just be that you're becoming comfortable, as opposed to always having to worry about money. So, yeah, I think I wish too it could happen to me. I saw that review as well. I thought about it. So my pick is gonna be from neil shawness, who gave it two and a half stars, and I'm gonna assume it's a he.

Speaker 3

They said this feels like it was supposed to be in Christmas movie, but they didn't want to wait all year so they just made it in spring and I agree with that because it's a feel good. Christmas movies have this. Especially homework is very it's very much like nothing bad is really going to happen and be good things having a good people, and it's very wholesome and stuff fades to black so you just like barely see them kick and it's all very good. And that's when I saw like this, everyone's was all very good, wholesome, fun. That makes you feel good because you're like, ah, if only this is real the villain got their just desserts yeah, they got their just dessert and the hero got everything they deserved, and so everyone was happy.

Speaker 3

Yeah, not the villain, everyone else was happy.

Speaker 2

My second one is going to be from Alicia. No real person is this nice Three stars and as we all talk about, in reality we are like jaded, in the sense, like no person in reality can be this nice. Because again, that person could be taken advantage of and because this is a film.

Frank is written that way, but we ourselves can't fathom someone being that it's definitely difficult to imagine someone being that nice just for the hell of it. I would say it's infrequent for people with that kind of money to be that nice because there's a reason they have that much money. But I have found that there is niceness on other levels, genuine kindness that people exhibit that most would think others are not capable of, simply because they are a good person. Our grandma used to let people come and stay when they didn't have a place to stay, in her apartment all the time from her church for free, and she would sleep on the floor and I would just be like why are you letting?

Speaker 3

randos into your house and she's. We have nowhere else to go and I have a house, so why not? And it was crazy to me, but she did it you know she would give the homeless people down the at the 7-eleven knew who she was. She would give them food. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas People would come over and pick up food. People do nice things. I just don't think that we're used to seeing it on such a large scale.

Speaker 2

Probably. I think that's what it is.

Speaker 3

Yeah, because most people who are wealthy don't do that.

Speaker 3

I've read things where people say poor and lower income and privileged people are more generous than wealthy people, because they already don't have anything, so they're willing to share what they have because they know that you know, I don't have much, but I can help you with this, and then the other person's like well, I can give you this too, we can share in it together, as opposed to a wealthy person usually coveting it for themselves. Yeah, I mean, whoever you are, I get it. Random person from the internet.

Speaker 3

But I like to hope that maybe there is one day someone out there who will leave a $2 million tip for a waitress.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

My review is from Jenna. She a waitress, yeah, uh. My review is from jenna. She gave it three and a half stars and she said fuck it. Okay, this was cute, but I'm taking points off for making nick daja cop and for making rosie perez the villain I saw that one yeah, which I agree like.

Speaker 3

But we have to understand this 30 years ago, when people felt like cops were the holy grail, and now we're starting to understand how un um underserving they often are to communities, especially law and communities. So, yeah, I agree, I would have to say. That's why I also give it three, no stars, but I did still enjoy it and I will watch it again for the end of the year you go on my rotation.

Speaker 2

Yeah, and then that wraps up the episode, but we're going to leave you with some famous repeating words from my sister over here.

Speaker 3

I lost my wife. Johnny has his wife.

Speaker 2

His name is Ronnienie and not mooney and with that we'll say goodbye and until the next episode.
