Having A Movie Moment: "Do I Look Like I'm Negotiating?!"

Sometimes when I'm out in the world I long to fling a line as finely written as those in some of my favorite movies. Lately, one of my eBay transactions is recalling a triumphant moment in MICHAEL CLAYTON.

You see, I wanted to buy this limited edition Starbucks MLB Chicago Cubs Bearista for Rob for Valentine's Day. They've been "out of print" for years and there are two versions of the bear. I already have one. Some...person...on eBay still has the other one even though I paid her for it on February 7.

I've sought to come so some kind of agreement for more than a month and I've finally taken it to the next level through PayPal by asking them to launch an investigation of the transaction and get my money back. I only wish I could have sent that email to the seller with a video clip of George Clooney from MICHAEL CLAYTON.

The key line comes about 3:15 into it:

Again, as of this typing YouTube is saying the clip is not available dang it. But I of course know exactly what line you're referring to (I quoted it in my brief CLAYTON comments on my list of 2007 faves).
