“What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate…”
In an attempt to prove my intellectual superiority regarding all things pop culture, I engaged JD in a dubious line of questioning. Knowing the answer before I asked the question, our dialogue is below:
DA - you know how Prof SO’nSO always uses the line - “What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.” Do you know where or what its from?
JD - i don’t know. is if from a movie or something?
DA - yes.
i’ll save you the back and forth trivia because JD’s not a movie buff at all. So i’ll just cut to the chase.
DA - It’s from “Cool Hand Luke.” the movies awesome.
JD - oh, william h. macy, he’s is awesome.
I almost lost my sh!t because he was completely serious.
