Harry Potter – Platform 9 3/4

Harry looks at his golden ticket.

Harry:: Platform 9 ¾? But Hagrid, there must be a mistake. This says Platform 9 ¾. There’s no such thing…is there?

Man: Sorry.

Harry: Excuse me, excuse me.

Guard: {talking to woman and child} Right on your left, ma’am.

Harry: Excuse me, Sir. Can you tell me where I might find Platform 9 ¾?

Guard: 9 ¾? Think you’re being funny, do ya?

Mrs Weasley: It’s the same year after year. Packed with Muggles, of course.

Harry: Muggles?

Mrs Weasley: Come on. Platform 9 ¾ this way! All right, Percy, you first.

Mrs Weasley: Fred, you next.

George: He’s not Fred, I am!

Fred: Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother!

Mrs Weasley: Oh, I’m sorry, George.

Fred: I’m only joking. I am Fred.

Harry: Excuse me! C-could you tell me how to…

Mrs Weasley: How to get on the platform? Yes, not to worry, dear. It’s Ron’s first time to Hogwarts as well. Now, all you’ve got to do is walk straight at the wall between platforms 9 and 10. Best do it at a bit of a run if you’re nervous.

Ginny: Good luck.

Number 10. Britain. Talking with a mouth full of food is never recommended, but is something the people of this nation find to be particularly repellent.

Number 9. Denmark. Never take the last Danish pastry – or any food item for that matter. The proper way to get one more bit of deliciousness is to keep cutting the remaining tidbit in half until nothing but crumbs remain.

Number 8. Thailand. Placing chopsticks in an empty bowl can send a message sure to dampen dinner conversation. The arrangement is a symbol of death.

Number 7. Mexico. Being punctual is usually a good thing, but not when it involves gathering for meals. In that situation, 30 minutes late is considered being perfectly on time.

Number 6. Germany. A note to those who cut up their salad greens with a knife – Germans would rather you don’t. The preferred method is to fold them with a fork.

Number 5. U.S.A. If your meal is too hot, either wait for it to cool or deal with the blistering consequences. Blowing on one’s food is considered bad table behavior.

Number 4. Egypt. Desiring another person’s better-looking dish is natural, but, when experiencing such envy in Egypt, don’t stare at their plate. In fact, don’t look at anybody else’s food for any reason.

Number 3. Spain. Using bread as an additional utensil for eating soup is popular in some places, but Spain is not among them. There, dunking is considered rude.

Number 2. Russia. Vodka purists to be sure, the national belief is that nothing, not even ice, should be mixed or otherwise come into contact with the beloved beverage.

Number 1. Zambia. In an age rife with food allergies and intolerances, it’s become common to question a dish’s ingredients. However, doing that in Zambia is akin to suggesting the cook is trying to serve you poison.

Which of the world’s dining etiquette gaffes most surprise you?

Which country is it?

1. You shouldn’t take the last piece of food but keep cutting it in half instead.

2. You shouldn’t inquire about the ingredients of a dish, because it’s considered to be an offense.

3. Dunking is considered rude here.

4. Blowing on your food is bad table behavior.

5. Talking with a mouth full of food is repellent.

BABY: So where’d you learn to be a dancer?

JOHNNY: Well, this guy came into this luncheonette one day and… we were all sitting around doing nothing. And he said that Arthur Murray was giving a test for instructors. So, if you passed… they teach you different dances, show you how to break them down, teach them.

BABY: What? No.

JOHNNY: Good. No, no, don’t look down. Look here. Good. And…

Now, bend your knees and go up. Go, go. Good try. Now, you’ll hurt me if you don’t trust me, all right? Now, go, go. Go. Good. Now, I’m gonna go up.

Bruce Channel: “Hey Baby”

Hey, hey, hey baby
I wanna know
if you’ll be my girl.
Hey, hey, hey baby
I wanna know
if you’ll be my girl.

When I saw you walking
down the street
I said that’s the kind of
gal I’d like to meet.
She’s so pretty
Lord, she’s fine
I’m gonna make her mine, all mine.

Hey, hey, hey baby

I wanna know
if you’ll be my girl.
 

When you turned and
walked away
that’s when I wanted to say
come on baby give me a whirl
I wanna know if you’ll be my girl.

FEDEX GUY: Thomas Anderson?

NEO: Yeah. That’s me.

FEDEX GUY: Have a nice day.

NEO: Hello?

MORPHEUS: Hello, Neo. Do you know who this is?

NEO: Morpheus.

MORPHEUS: Yes. I’ve been looking for you, Neo. I don’t know if you’re ready to see what I want to show you, but unfortunately, you and I have run out of time. They’re coming for you, Neo. And I don’t know what they’re going to do.

NEO Who’s coming for me?

MORPHEUS Stand up and see for yourself.

NEO Right now?

MORPHEUS Yes. Now. Do it slowly. The elevator.

NEO: Shit!

MORPHEUS: Yes.

NEO: What the hell do they want from me?!

MORPHEUS: I don’t know, but if you don’t want to find out, you’d better get out of there.

NEO: How?!

MORPHEUS: I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say.

MORPHEUS: The cubicle across from you is empty.

NEO: But what if they…?

MORPHEUS: Go! Now!

MORPHEUS: Stay here for just a moment. When I tell you, go to the end of the row to the office at the end of the hall, stay as low as you can. Go now.

MORPHEUS: Good. Now outside there is a scaffold.

NEO: How do you know all this?

MORPHEUS: We don’t have time, Neo. To your left, there is a window. Go to it. Open it. Use the scaffold to get to the roof.

NEO: No way, no way, this is crazy.

MORPHEUS: There are only two ways out of this building. One is that scaffold. The other is in their custody. You take a chance either way. I leave it to you.

NEO: This is insane! Why is this happening to me? What did I do? I’m nobody. I didn’t do anything. I’m going to die. I can’t do this!

TRINITY: Shit.

Zoos are really cashing in on these cute little creatures public appeal. But, we can’t help ourselves. We got new footage from the Nuremberg zoo in southern Germany. She’s is one of the country’s youngest polar bear cubs turned media star.

"Flocke," or flake in English, is seen taking a bath in an outdoor pool and walking around an open den usually inhabited by the zoo’s tigers. They’re elsewhere while their cages are being done up.
Little Flocke was born on December 11, 2007 and her keepers decided soon after the polar bear’s birth that mother "Vera" was unfit to raise her own baby without harming it.
Flocke, now weighs 16.5 kilograms, and has four keepers to prevent it becoming attached to just one person, which could lead to her adopting human behavior.
