“Flapper “

The notorious character type who bobbed her hair, smoke cigarettes, drank gin, sported short skirts, and passed her evenings in steamy jazz clubs, where she danced in a shockingly immodest fashion with a revolving cast of male suitors.”

“The New Woman of the 1920s boldly asserted her right to dance, drink, smoke, and date— to work her own property, to live free of the strictures that governed her mother’s generation. (…) She flouted Victorian-era conventions and scandalized her parents. In many ways, she controlled her own destiny”

We’re knights of the Round Table
We dance whene’er we’re able
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impeccable
We dine well here in Camelot
We eat ham and jam and Spam a lot.

| That’s what she said | I think even then I knew that…I was waiting for my wife. | When you’re a kid you assume your parents are soulmates. My kids are going to be right about that. | I hope the war goes on forever and Ryan gets drafted. |I’m always thinking one step ahead, like a carpenter that makes stairs. | I think I’m basically a good person. But I am going to try to make him cry. | If I had to, I could clean out my desk in five seconds, and nobody would ever know that I’d ever been here. And I’d forget, too. | I do play games. I sing and I dangle things in front of my cats. | I just want to lie on the beach and eat hot dogs. That’s all I’ve ever wanted. | Tell ya one thing, I’m not gonna be a good mom tonight. | Boy have you lost your mind? ‘Cause I’ll help you find it! | YOU’RE NOT REAL MAN! | I taught Mike some, uh, some phrases to help with his interracial conversation. You know, stuff like, “fleece it out,” “going mach 5,” “dinkin’ flicka.” You know, things us Negroes say. | I think for it to be blackmail, it would have to be a formal letter. | Disposable cameras are fun, but it seems a little wasteful. You never get to see your pictures. | Who am I? I’m Kelly Kapoor, the business bitch. | This may be the first time that a male subordinate has attempted to get a modest scheduled raise by threatening to withhold sex from a female superior. It will be a groundbreaking case, when it inevitably goes to trial. | I walked right into a job for which I was ill-prepared, ill-suited, and somebody else already had. And I got it. If you ask me, that’s the American dream right there. | It just occurred to me that Andy has been calling me ‘Plop’ for so long that he forgot my real name. | I’ve been working here 12 weeks. That’s a full season of Homeland. Ton of things can happen in that amount of time, as we’ve seen. |

Bill Murray on Gilda Radner:

“Gilda got married and went away. None of us saw her anymore. There was one good thing: Laraine had a party one night, a great party at her house. And I ended up being the disk jockey. She just had forty-fives, and not that many, so you really had to work the music end of it. There was a collection of like the funniest people in the world at this party. Somehow Sam Kinison sticks in my brain. The whole Monty Python group was there, most of us from the show, a lot of other funny people, and Gilda. Gilda showed up and she’d already had cancer and gone into remission and then had it again, I guess. Anyway she was slim. We hadn’t seen her in a long time. And she started doing, “I’ve got to go,” and she was just going to leave, and I was like, “Going to leave?” It felt like she was going to really leave forever.

So we started carrying her around, in a way that we could only do with her. We carried her up and down the stairs, around the house, repeatedly, for a long time, until I was exhausted. Then Danny did it for a while. Then I did it again. We just kept carrying her; we did it in teams. We kept carrying her around, but like upside down, every which way—over your shoulder and under your arm, carrying her like luggage. And that went on for more than an hour—maybe an hour and a half—just carrying her around and saying, “She’s leaving! This could be it! Now come on, this could be the last time we see her. Gilda’s leaving, and remember that she was very sick—hello?”

We worked all aspects of it, but it started with just, “She’s leaving, I don’t know if you’ve said good-bye to her.” And we said good-bye to the same people ten, twenty times, you know.

And because these people were really funny, every person we’d drag her up to would just do like five minutes on her, with Gilda upside down in this sort of tortured position, which she absolutely loved. She was laughing so hard we could have lost her right then and there.

It was just one of the best parties I’ve ever been to in my life. I’ll always remember it. It was the last time I saw her.”

This animation is absolutely glorious. Just take a moment to appreciate that this was all done by somebody’s hand; that they slaved over this, and this was the result of a human, not a computer. It’s completely perfect.
