When I saw "Everythings Turning Into Beautiful" there was a woman behind me in line to pick up tickets who saw Daphne's picture on the poster and said, "Oh, wasn't she in Rent?" Innocent enough, right?
Well we go into the theater and find out seats and the same woman sits behind me and is reading her playbill. She reads Daphne's bio and says, "Wait, wasn't she in the Rent movie?" Her husband says that she was and the wife says, "But it isn't listed here. Why wouldn't she list it? Do you think she wrote this before the movie?"
Her husband says no, he thinks the movie was too long ago for her to have written her bio first. So then the wife says, "Oh, maybe she just isn't proud of the movie." My sister and I are now shaking with silent laughter (mean, I know but come on!) and stealing glances over our shoulders, trying to decide if we should butt in.
A few minutes later, her husband says, "Wait, I don't think she was in it. If she was, she would say, wouldn't she?" The wife thinks a minute, then says, "You know, I think she was too old to be in the movie." Wrong. Now my sister and I are mashing our lips together and biting our tongues.
Her husband says, "She's the same age as everyone else, isn't she? I think maybe she was pregnant or something." Finally!
The really funny thing is that the next time I saw the show, someone behind me read her playbill and said, "Wait, wasn't she in the Rent movie?" I couldn't take another round of this so turned around and set the record straight. :)
"I wrote a book: "How to Be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list of how to help you:
-Elphie, everyday... shower. I mean, who knows? Maybe some of that green is gonna come off!
-Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch!
-I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that.
-Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say.
-Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular!
-Bed made, room straightened. We've done that.
-Colors blended. Oookay.
-But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile."
