It's Wednesday Night at the Movies at newcritics. Tonight the Self-Styled Siren's given me the key to the apartment so I can host a little party. You're all invited. Our movie feature is The Apartment, starring Jack Lemmon, Fred MacMurray, and Shirley MacLaine as the adorable Fran Kubelik. Party starts at 9 PM Eastern. Nobody has to stand outside in the rain catching cold while the rest of us are inside having fun.
Miss Kubelik: I never catch colds.
CC Baxter: Really? I was reading some figures from the Sickness and Accident Claims Division. You know that the average New Yorker between the ages of twenty and fifty has two and a half colds a year?
Miss Kubelik: That makes me feel just terrible.
CC Baxter: Why?
Miss Kubelik: Well, to make the figures come out even, if I have no colds a year, some poor slob must have five colds a year.
CC Baxter: Yeah...it's me.
It's me too, which one of you is not having a half a cold right now? Because I've got a cold an a half. Nevermind. I'll be able to tell by which one of you isn't sneezing tonight. See you at 9.
