Internet = full of fail

By Kristen | March 23, 2008

I just spent far too much time looking for a clip from “Annie Hall” in which they all eat Easter dinner together. All I can find is the screenplay, which I’ll get to in a minute. Woody Allen proclaims that Grammy Hall has made a “dynamite ham” — and I think of that every time I make a ham which I am doing right now. Dynamite ham.

(On a unrelated note, I dropped said ham while selecting it in the store. In my effort to catch it, the 8 lb. ham smashed my index finger against the lip of the supermarket’s meat corral thing, smashing my cuticle and making me bleed all over Key Food.)

Anyway, happy Easter. Enjoy.

INT. DINING ROOM.

Alvy and the Halls are eating Easter dinner.
The sun is pouring through a big picture window,
shining on a large, elegantly laid out table. Alvy
sits, at one end,- rubbing his nose and chewing,
the Halls flanking him on either side: Mr. and
Mrs. Hall, Grammy, and Annie's brother, Duane.

					MOM HALL
				(Holding her wine glass)
			It's a nice ham this year, Mom. 

Grammy Hall takes a sip of her wine and nods.

					ANNIE
				(Smiling at Duane)
			Oh, yeah.  Grammy always does such
			a good job.

					DAD HALL
				(Chewing)
			A great sauce.

					ALVY
			It is.
				(Smacking his lips)
			It's dynamite ham.

Grammy Hall stares down the table at Alvy;
a look of utter dislike. Alvy tries not to notice.

					MOM HALL
				(To Dad Hall, smoothing her hair)
			We went over to the swap meet.  Annie,
			Gram and I. Got some nice picture frames.

					ANNIE
			We really had a good time.

Grammy continues to stare at Alvy; he is now
dressed in the long black coat and hat of the
Orthodox Jew, complete with mustache and heard.
