The Killer Shrews

Servo: “What a dump.” Who said that, George?

Yes! A Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? reference! Elizabeth Taylor says this to Richard Burton at the very beginning of the movie, when they’ve just gotten back from the staff party, are drunk, and are waiting for Nick and Honey to come over. Taylor’s eating chicken and asking Burton what Bette Davis movie it’s from, and Richard Burton says one of my favorite lines from the movie (if only because of the way he says it, and because I can mimic him perfectly): “Chicago! It’s called Chicago.” Of course it wasn’t Chicago, and thus he must bare the wrath of Liz (“Don’t you know anything?”). It’s all hilarious in a thank-God-this-isn’t-me kind of way. The name of the Bette Davis movie was, by the way, Beyond the Forest, and the actor they couldn’t remember was Joseph Cotton. Here’s a bit of trivia for you all: Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is the first movie to use the word “bugger” in it.
