Say Hello to My Little Friend in Austin


I spent a few days with some friends in Austin who's 5 year old is a constant source of entertainment. Here's the latest anecdote:

Act 1: Little D
Wrapping up their week, children at an Austin area acting camp put on a show for their parents on closing day. As part of the show the children were asked to perform a line from their favorite movie. One girl sang "The hills are alive..." (parents nod approvingly and clap) another boy said, "Luke, I am your father" (more applause). Little five-year old "D" stepped up for his turn and mortified his parents when he stood tall and exclaimed, "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!! POW POW POW POW!!!!"

Laura swears he's never seen Scarface, and knowing the kind of parents they are, I believe her. Surely Disney has inconspicuously snuck this line into one of their films. She says gasping parents in the crowd looked at each other in amazement, one asking another "What did he just say?" Nevertheless, while they cowered in embarrassment in that moment, they laughed boisterously at the dinner table (along with me) recounting what will surely be a story told for a long long time.
