...crisp, cool refreshing taste and feel of agua is preferable to any chemical-infested imitator. What did cavemen drink? They drank water. (And maybe, during droughts, some pee.) What's on the table during presidential debates? Gatorade? Powerade? No-good-old H-2-0. Get it in the sink with tap, get it in France with Evian.

They had the stunned look of cavemen thawed out from the frozen tundra and suddenly dropped into a Las Vegas casino. Bush, you'll recall, even glanced at his watch, wondering when the nightmare would...
Late in the film, Simon sees Carol stepping into the bathtub and is inspired to start sketching again. This drab waitress--she's so beautiful: "You're why cavemen chiseled on walls." Brooks insisted that the scene not be leering, because "these days the world is so damn foul. Before, it was, 'Tee-hee, there's a nude scene of Helen Hunt.'
