The Bon Mot

Bon Mot can be a witty comment. If you have seen Lace about a child looking for her mother and then confronting the three who promised to keep their secret hidden, she gets the last laugh by calling them 'b's

Thanks for explaining.

I think a lot of viewers would consider that a satisfying line for anyone sympathetic with the protagonist, but it would more likely fall into a category of an ambush, or a surprise attack, as it doesn't reveal any wit or humor or cleverness on the part of the accuser.

I've never seen the movie, but judging from that clip, it looks like it is in the genre of diva display shows like Faloncrest, Hotel, or any other movies where actresses like Joan Collins would bare their claws. They always seemed like a series of catfights to me, strung together by fashion and makeup for the fans.
 
'LACE' STAR DOES IT AGAIN

A digression: For viewers with short memories, Lace is based on Shirley Conran's best seller about Lili (Phoebe Cates), a young porno film actress turned movie superstar who learns she is the illegitimate daughter of one of three elegant, internationally famous women -- played by Bess Armstrong, Brooke Adams and Dombasle. At the end of Lace, Lili corners the women and barks, "Which one of you bitches is my mother?" -- and the Armstrong character (played by Deborah Raffin in the sequel) is revealed as the culprit.

Where was there to go from that? Where else? This time, Cates gets to ask three men, "Which one of you bastards is my father?"

And Lace was very successful -- the top-rated miniseries of last season.

I dont know how I forgot about that

Language is the dress of thought.

What is easy is seldom excellent.

To keep your secret is wisdom, but to expect others to keep it is folly.

Adversity has ever been considered the state in which a man most easily becomes aquainted with himself.

Remember that scene in "Nine To Five", when Dolly Parton got mad at Dabney Coleman and said, "there are two kinds of people in this world . . . and you ain't either one of 'em".
 
Dolly's zinger was well put. I think she may have tried too hard in her first starring role, but she cut her teeth on it and made a good showing.

I'll always be proud of what she has accomplished, as much for a woman coming from poverty as anything to do with her music or region.
 
On second thought, some of the mots I've posted aren't witty, and are therefore better defined as aphorisms or proverbs. However, from Oscar Wilde:

Be yourself, everyone else is taken.

He has no enemies, but he is intensely disliked by his friends.

I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.
 

Speaking of Oscar Wilde: The movie that Rupert Everett made Wilde's last years is brilliant. The trailer doesn't give at all a sense of how enormously entertaining--and often fun--the film is. I saw a Q & A with Everett at the LA premiere. Also enormously entertaining and fun. Well-worth seeing.


 
THAT'S a good way to make the press sit up and pay attention. Biting.
 
I heard the following recently in a fascinating discussion in Italian between two polyglots--one an American who speaks Latin, the other an Italian who is learning it:

Il latino non e' una lingua mortale, e' una lingua immortale.

Latin isn't a dead language, it's an immortal language. Clever in Italian, not equally so in English.

Luke Ranieri, the American who speaks Latin, is an interesting and admirable guy:
