And in it, 'cause it's a movie from like the '70s, Yamato, like I think it came out like 1970 or something.
Let me just double-check this.
Nine to Five.
What year is it? I think it was 1970.
1980, sorry.
Okay, so the end of the '70s, right? In this movie, it has a really hilarious sort of like, um, Western chauvinism, but you'll get what I mean by this in a second.
Like, I'll give you a quick example.
When I was a boy, a actual holdover from the colonial period of I- Great Britain is there's a famous saying which will mean nothing to anyone in another country, which is if I said to you a place called Timbuktu, have you ever even heard of it?
I've, I've heard of it [laughs] because there's a, there's an, there's an artist in Sweden named after it, so-
Oh, right
...
it was coincident-
Well, here's the thing
... coincidental.
[laughs]
The reason it's, the reason it's quite famous to people who are British is if someone says something like, you know, "I'll send you to Timbuktu," it just means like fucking the middle of nowhere.
Like, no one knows where that is.
Yeah, yeah.
So this is some like colonial...
What it basically means is I'll send you to the middle of fucking nowhere.
So similarly, right, in this movie, Nine to Five, it has an ending of the movie which is something similar where...
You think about Brazil, you're gonna think about like the Amazon rainforest or like, I don't know, military juntas of like, you know, fucking rebels killing pe- You're not gonna know anything about the idea that Brazil could be at all modern or anything like a European or an American ci- So the joke is there's a gag at the end of this Nine to Five movie that Richard was going to.
You must have loved that, and it did make me laugh so hard.
