Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Bob. Bob McCay is in his workplace talking with his wife and daughter about an old friend coming over, who had once made a pass at Kaye (Bob's wife). The conversation quickly devolves into a discussion of movies Tony Curtis and Kirk Douglas were in.
Cquote1

 Bob: I still don't trust Jerry. I'm not taking my eyes off him. If he so much as looks crosseyed at you I'm gonna punch him in the breadbasket.

Kay: You're gonna do what?

Bob: It's not funny Kaye. It's very serious. Houdini died from that.

Tricia: Didn't Houdini die trying to escape from a water chamber?

Harlan walks over

Harlan: No. In the movie that was how Tony Curtis died.

Albie & Chad walk over

Albie: I thought Kirk Douglas stabbed Tony Curtis in the movie.

Chad: No, no you're thinking of Spartacus.

Harlan: No, Tony Curtis killed Kirk Douglas in that.

Albie: No, that was The Vikings.

Bob: I didn't, I didn't see that.

Tricia: So what happend to Kirk Douglas?

Chad: Cut his ear off.

Harlan: No that was in Lust For Life when he played Toulouse-Lautrec.[1]

Tricia: No, that was Jose Ferrer.[2]

-2- You know, interestingly Kirk Douglas lost his ear in Lust for Life and his eye in The Vikings.

Harlan: What brought this up?

Albie: Mr. McCay is threatening to punch Tony Curtis in the stomach.

Harlan: C'mon Bob, Tony's no kid.
