Assisted Living: Friend Zoned Out
In a cold, cold world, Buckley strives to protect the sanctity of the Friend Zone.
A state senator lashed out Monday at the Department of Environmental Conservation for its failure to protect residents living by a landfill in Wheatfield that was recently declared a Superfund site.
If I’ve ever heard a more chilling line of dialogue in a film than this one, I can’t think what it was: “Hurry up or the soup will get cold!”
Of course context is everything. The line is yelled by a guard to a bunch of arrivals being processed. They think that they are going to be put to work as they are rushed along, parted from whatever possessions they have, stripped and sent to showers for delousing. That hot soup awaits them when they get out, the guard assures them.
