"That's what I said"
Why is this line repeated so often throughout the movie? I understand if Mikey maybe made a mistake one time and Brand corrects him; he's just a kid, after all. But it's just tedious hearing it over and over, especially when the words used are so incredibly wrong.
Mikey: "I was just trying to delate myself. No, no... dictate myself."
Brand: "That's delude yourself, dummy."
Mikey: "That's what I said."
or how about:
Mikey: "They did a show. It was a retropactum."
Brand: "A retrospective."
Mikey: "That's what I said. You always contradict me, but I was right."
And it's not just Mikey:
Mrs. Walsh: "Brandon, don't you come home without your brother, or I'll commit Hare Krishna!"
Brand: "That's harakiri, ma."
Mrs. Walsh: "That is exactly what I said."
And so far, sitting at a little over an hour into the movie, at four separate occasions one of the characters has said "booty traps," to which someone corrects him to "booby traps," which then of course prompts the reply "that's what I said."
What is the deal, why did Spielberg/Columbus use this same gimmick over and over again?
I have no enemies, but am intensely disliked by my friends.share
