My favourite movie scene

In Jenseits der Stille ("Behind the Silence" or so) the clarinette playing girl of the deaf parents and the primary school teacher for deaf children are on their first date. The have just seen a bad movie and are on their way back home, while they happen to stop at an out-door cart for sausages (such a German & Finnish thing). They place an order and the radio just changes the song: the first piano runs of Gloria Gaynor's I will survive catch their interest. They start signing the English lyrics to each other, which ends up to a dance around in the summer night. Finally they get their food and move on, but there is nothing like the warm atmosphere that must be among the best starts of a companionship in the long history of movies.

Last night I studied until 4am. Tonight I am so going to sleep, starting now.
