"Tell me. Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every dot that stopped, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money, or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare?"

*sigh* I had to Google the quotation. More classic cinema that I'm ignorant of...

Charming picture, by the way.

The Third Man is one of the THE all-time great films.

Orson Wells as a wee blondie-redheaded boy. I love it.

I hope you were holding on to the railing...

(And if I didn't already adore you, I would have to now for the Third Man reference!)

Is that the Ferris wheel, with new cars on it since the last time I was there?

It's definitely the Ferris wheel at Canobie. This was my first visit so I don't know which cars are new!

I expect they replaced them all with ones you can't fall out of. The old ones were round, with umbrella-like canopies and inadequate-looking side rails.
