verbicideIt doesn't matter how many times I watch it. In Excelsis Deo always renders me to a puddle of sniffles.
Between Mrs. Laninghan's story about her dead twins, and Toby and the Dead Vet, and the gay high school student stoned to death by 13 year old boys... Josh and Sam desperately, wrongly, scrambling to save Leo via Sam's friend. Danny making a list of reasons CJ should go out with him. CJ making a list of why she can't. Dammit, she should have gone out with him. Awww, CJ offering to cook Leo dinner. Gah.
And all the sadness tempered perfectly with just the right touches of humor.
Josh: Where are you going?
Bartlett: To a place called Rare Books. Know what they sell?
Josh: Fishing tackle?
Bartlett: Funny boy.
[some Mandy blather]
Bartlett: Wanna come?
Josh: An hour with you in a rare bookstore? Couldn't you just drop me off the top of the Washington Monument instead.
Bartlett: It's Christmas, Josh! No reason we can't do both!
And of course the sentimental ending where they all line up to Drummer Boy. *sob* With Toby and Mrs. Laningham at the funeral of the dead vet *sniffle* I can't help it. *waauuugh!*
God, I love Toby. Love him. He's so cranky and sad, but amazing.
Ok. Time to check me into the Home for the Emotionally Unstable.
