You've got to love YouTube. They have almost everything one could ask for, which is quite handy on days when one doesn't have much time to put into a blog post. Today, one figures one can just play a clip from one of one's favorite movies, The Royal Tenenbaums.
One's not quite sure why one loves that scene so much. Maybe it's because one's been there before, and is fairly certain that one will be there again at some point in the future.
Or maybe it's because of the following scene, which one couldn't find on YouTube (although one didn't look very hard) but has transcribed below.
(the scene is set with the entire Tenenbaum family sitting around Richie in the recovery room at the hospital after the incident).
Chas: Why'd you do it?
Richie: I wrote a suicide note.
Chas: You did?
Richie: Yeah. Right after I regained consciousness.
Chas: Can we read it?
Richie: No.
Chas: Can you paraphrase it for us?
Richie: I don't think so.
Chas: Is it dark?
Richie: Of course it's dark. It's a suicide note.

My favorite part of that scene is the look on Dudley's face when he opens the bathroom door and sees Ritchie.
Margot: Dudley, where is he?
Dudley: Who?

"Well, I have to say he didn't look half bad for a suicide. Attempted, anyway."
hell yeah.
