Poor J had to know this post was coming
Liz [singing along to Top Gun-esque tune in movie]: Highway to…the danger zone!
J: What?
Liz: Highway to…the danger zone! Oh, nothing; the music just sounded like that for a minute.
J: Is that what you really think the song says?
Liz: Highway to the danger zone? Wha--? That’s not what it is?
J: It’s “I went through the danger zone.”
Liz: No way! Really? “I went through…?”
J: Yeah, think about it: they’re pilots. There’s no highway.
Liz: I thought it was metaphoric. Y’know, like we’re not takin’ no footpath through the danger zone; we’re on the highway, blasting through it! We don’t care if it’s a danger zone.
J: It’s “I went through.”
Liz: That’s crazy. My whole world is turning upside down.
[minutes pass]
Liz: Are you SURE? I really think it’s “highway.”
J: It’s not “highway.” You want me to call Krista?
Liz [pauses movie]: Yes. Very much so.
J [calls Krista]: Hey, okay you know the Top Gun theme song…Okay, is it: “I went through the danger zone” or “Highway to the danger zone”? [pause] No, it’s THROUGH the danger zone! Okay, look it up…Kenny Loggins..uh huh. Hmm. Really?
Liz: HA!
J: [grumpy] The opening scene is on a tarmac with planes! They’re never on a highway.
Liz: I’m telling you: it’s a metaphor.
Wedding Artifact:
It's about time!
