Somebody Else's Nimrod

That Coca-Cola Casablanca ad--you know, the one with the two strangers sitting in the theater watching the movie, who come together mouthing lines from the movie--drives me nuts. Why? Well, in the scene they're watching, Rick asks Ilsa why there's no other man in her life. She says, "That's easy," and then our two theater-goers get up and dance. Except that it's not a romantic scene. Ilsa's next lines are (from memory), "There was. And he's dead." You know, because she thinks her husband Victor died in a German concentration camp.

Not top on my list of Great Romantic Moments in the Movies!
