: : Hi, Caitlin!

: : I believe you are correct that he says "leave them," but I never got the impression Chingachgook didn't understand English...just that he preferred to converse with Hawkeye & Uncas in Mohican. He never seems to have any trouble following Hawkeye's conversations with others in English, and since he was addressing "leave them" to the girls, that's what he would have used.

: : Now, back to my concentration here on justifyin' Kate's scene. THEN I'll have to tackle Chris's complaint! GEEEEZE, LEW-STEENKING-WEEEEZE. Everybody's a critic these days!!! *scornful snort!*

: : *mumble, mumble, tracking...can tell we were there...mumble...must be the PRINTS OUR NIKE-SOLED mocassins are leaving!!! Yeah, that's it...rubber-treaded shoes haven't been invented yet!! May as well just put up a sign,
: : "TO THE OTTOWA & BOTH YOU STEENKING FRANCAIS: WE WUZ HERE! COME AND GET US, IF YOU DARE!!!" mumble, mutter, DANG movie critics, making me THINK about my wonderful film!!! mutter, mumble, grumble!!!*

>Who MOI? Nit-picker? I don't THEEENK so! I'm the one who's trying to tell these crazy nit-pickers to just *la, la, la*, "let it be, let it be, let it be-ee, let it beeeeeeeee! Mohican words of wisdom, let it beeeeeeeeeeeee-EEEEEEEEEEE!"

(like my Paul McCartney high notes, there?)

But, you are right, of course. I believe Adidas is the brand. *sigh* I'm just gettin' TOO dang old to remember stuff any more. Now what were we discussing?

OH, Yeah:

Jeri: Yes, HERO is the operative here. Ease up a little on the particulars and just enjoy! And by the way, Hawkeye could cop an attitude every now and then..."Well, we kinda face to the north and real sudden-like turn left." I kinda like that!

ME: Well don't start liking MY favorite one, "Someday I think you and I are gonna have a SERIOUS disagreement," too much...they deleted it from the DVD. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Yes, I rather liked his snappy comebacks, whether they were correct for the period, or not.

Signed,
The NON-Nit-Picker (unless you are discussing The Gladiator, in which case, I will pick nits with you all day long. I must be the only person in America who really, REALLY did not like that movie...except for Mark, who was terribly disappointed in it, too. He had SO looked forward to it, and it just didn't work for him.)

She-Who-Ne'er-Picks-Nits!
