Dictionary Scene in Say Anything


Say Anything was one of the best movies of the eighties. My favorite scene in that movie was when Lloyd (John Cusack) is in her room and picks up her dictionary to look through it and finds pen marks next to a lot of the words in the dictionary. He asks her what that was all about and she says that she marks every words she looks up. That impressed me so much that I starting doing it to the dictionary I used in high school. I still have it, but it doesn't have as many marks as hers did. In addition to that movie and her great performace in it, I love her name.

Funny you should say that. After watching that movie I started doing the same thing with my dictionaries. Twenty years later, I still keep the habit of marking the words I've once consulted. I've never done it with Portuguese dictionaries (I'm Brazilian and Portuguese is my mother tongue) but it helps me a lot with foreign languages.
