Myr and I are watching "Jane Doe" on Hallmark -- it's fluff, but entertaining fluff. In it they are discussing why this one well trusted agent suddenly turned. They decide that it was the new woman in his life and Jane says something quietly that the subtitles translated at "indistinct". Only it wasn't. I understood it. She said "cherchez la femme" French for "Look for the woman".
Now I know that only because it was a phrase used just recently on another show I watched. In fact, it had to be something on tape because I know that I watched the scene twice. On person goes "cherchez al femme -- that's french for 'look for the woman'", to which the other character answers "There is no woman".
The problem? I can't remember what show that scene is from. Usually I can recall things like that without a problem, especially since I know I just saw it. Usually, also, Myr is watching the shows with me, so if I can't think of something, she will fill in the blanks. but she's been gone quite a bit lately and she has no idea what I'm talking about.
It's going to drive me crazy. Well, crazier.
