     1939 The Wizard of Oz
In Oz, your monkeys soar, your wizards roar.
You’re not, young Dot, in Kansas anymore.

     1939 Gone with the Wind
More ante-bellum “bim-bam, thank you, ma’am”...?
Quite frankly, Yankees just don’t give a damn.

     1941 Citizen Kane
What nonsense! “Rosebud!” signifies no sled.
To wit, Kane’s lit. “Rosé, Bud!”’s what he said.

     1942 Casablanca
Though famed for Bogart’s bid, “Again, Sam! Play it!”
the question bides: did Bogie even say it...? 

     1950 All About Eve
A bitter Bette rides the stairs. (Takes flight…?)
“Make fast your 'belts. This bodes a bumpy night.”

     1954 On the Waterfront
Steiger’s Chas “The Gent”; Lee Cobb’s the jerk.
Mauldin’s priest goads Marlon’s brash Young Turk.
Saint, god knows, as good as goes berserk.
But who’s the dude who crows, “Let’s go to work!”...?

     1979 Alien
“Aliens!!” cries poor Sigourney’s team.
(C'est space, alors: c'est none can hear 'em scream.)
