(237 posts)but I love the scene in "The Birdcage" where Albert and Armand are sitting on the bench. Armand tells him he has to move his cemetery plot so he'll "never miss a laugh." He also says something about home is wherever Albert is.
It's just so quiet and real.

Bertha Venation
(21,484 posts)When Miss Kenton, the housekeeper, invites herself into Stevens's, the butler's, private office. She sees Stevens is reading a book. She goes to him slowly, he gets up, she kinda corners him. She inquires, sweetly seductively, about the book he's reading, and he's reluctant to show it to her. Finally she takes it, and says, "it's just a sentimental love story."
He breaks the amazing sexual tension, tender though, by explaining clinically why he reads all types of books from his Lordship's shelves.
She is so in love with him, and he is incapable of breaking down and acknowledging that he is in love with her. Later that night she is seen sitting on the floor in her quarters, crying her heart out.
One of the most moving scenes I've ever seen in any movie. I haven't done it a tenth of the justice it deserves.
If you haven't seen - or read - The Remains of the Day, do. Oh, do.

(14,125 posts)I have no idea why I never knew about this series (I think I was immersed in college studies) when the books first came out. I am so glad I kept Starz!!!!
I just finished the first book after some friends suggested I read even though I watched to whole season. It helped a lot, can't wait to read the 2nd book!
