"loosing your marbles" -- I have been thinking about this phrase or expression or whatever you call it all day. Why? Here's why:
I was looking for new objects for this the Sims 2(its a pc game. objects are things that they can put in their houses like chairs, tables, etc) Anyway a search lead me to a help forum about the game and I decided to read through some of the questions. Something very weird:
I found some people who were very desperate on finding out how to give their sims the Flu. ( There were actual posts that said "please help me I'm desperate")
Anyways for some reason I found this really funny and I started laughing out loud. My mom who was sitting on the bed behind me said "hoy, ba't tumatawa ka mag-isa?" I told her "wala lang" and then she said "bka kse naloloka ka na di pa namen alam"
So ever since she told me that I kept thinking of "loosing my marbles" and how great a movie line it could be (how my brain came up with this I do not know. Maybe my mom is right. I might be going nuts!!!)
Anyways I have come up with a couple of scenarios where this line can be used in a movie.
Scenario #1 (corny as in CORNY talaga)
Guy falls "madly" in love with this girl, girl runs away leaves him without a clue where she's going or why she even leaves. he goes nuts. goes through hell and high water to find the girl and when he finally does find her she asks him "whaddahell d'ya want?" he say's "I want my marbles back, bitch!!!"
Scenario #2 (eto mala "you complete me" or "you had me at hello" corny)
Some poor shmuck falls head over heels, they get together but the other person keeps cheating and lying till finally the guy/girl decides that he/she cannot take it anymore because the other person is driving him/her nuts confronts the other person all teary eyed and say's "I've already given you my whole heart, I can't afford to give you my marbles too."
Do any of you think either or the two could be a hit? hehe :p I didn't think so.
