izzard & isolde

It really would be fun to have a Pop-up Izzard. That way, when watching movies with shoddy writing, or even just generally acceptable comforting thoughts, dialogue could happen such as wished for last night while watching the beginning of Tristan & Isolde.

Scene: young Isolde looks on as her mother is buried, and turns - teary-eyed - to handmaid, who seeks to console the child.

Handmaid: It's fine, love.
Isolde: What took her?
Handmaid: Vapors. It
was evil vapors what got your mum.
Isolde: No, it wasn't. It was her heart.
Eddie: [shrugs 'likely true']
Handmaid: She's in a better place now.
Eddie: [wincingly
smiles, shakes head 'no'] Is she?
Isolde: [sighs]
Eddie: No, no, sure
she is. [emphatically mouths 'no'] You shouldn't worry. [face of 'eeks',
emphatically nods in the affirmative]
Handmaid: You'll see her again
someday.
Eddie: [one eye closes tight, expression of extreme doubt] Ya,
sure, maybe. I mean it could happen. [confidingly leans forward and whispers
"Probably not."]
And...scene!
