It is precisely for such pointed erudition as THIS that we rejoice in
Scottie's continued (protracted) presence among us bottom feeders:

...as I read those words, I heard the mumbling voice of the late-great John
Wayne (from one of those fifties films that Camille was talking about
earlier); V/O longshot of Scottie himself riding Rosinante into the=
sunset....
I'm glad you've opted for the alternate ending, Scottie. This particular
focus group suggests you'll do bigger box office..... (Next time you're
shooting that bar scene with the mirror, though, could you make sure that
they knock on my trailer door to remind me that it's time for my=
close-up....?)
Cheers,
