Curtain Call: The Hits

She is very pretty and meticulously groomed, even at the end of her shift. She is slamming dirty coffee cups from the counter into a bus tray underneath the counter. It is making a lot of RACKET, which she is oblivious to. There is COUNTRY MUZAK in the b.g., which she hums along with. INT. THELMA'S KITCHEN - MORNING THELMA is a housewife. It's morning and she is slamming coffee cups from the breakfast table into the kitchen sink, which is full of dirty breakfast dishes

Margot at the Wedding by Noah Baumbach 1 INT. TRAIN CAR - DAY 1 A cashier hands a boy, 13, his change across a counter. The boy stuffs the coins in his pocket. He lifts the cardboard tray with two hot dogs, a bag of chips, and two Cokes. This is Claude.

THE GOAL 1 I come through the gate this morning at 7:30 and I can see it from across the lot: the crimson Mercedes. It's parked beside the plant, next to the offices. And it's in my space.

WINTER 1989 Slavoj Zizek THE UNDERGROWTH OF ENJOYMENT: HOW POPULAR CULTURE CAN SERVE AS AN INTRODUCTION TO LACAN The English reception of Jacques Lacan, predominantly at least, has still not integrated all the consequences of the break marked by the seminar on Ethics of Psychoanalysis (1959-60), a break which radically shifted the accent of his teaching: from the dialectics of desire to the inertia of enjoyment (jouissance), from the symptom as coded message to the sinthome as letter permeated
