JOHN: Then I’ll sell it in the big city!

ROSE MARIE: You think a country boy like you can make it there? Those city folks’ll eat you alive.

JOHN: I hope they do eat me! ‘Cause they’ll want some slaw on side. And once they taste it, they’ll ask for seconds. I guarantee you, or my name isn’t…John Cole.

OPINION: I Was One Of The 7’5” Stand-Ins Who Made The Hobbit Actors Look Shorter In The Lord Of The Rings. I Haven’t Worked in Hollywood Since, Either Because Of My Politically Incorrect Views Or Because CGI Has Replaced Forced Perspective When Making Big Things Look Small Onscreen, But I Suspect It’s The First Thing
