The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It's tradition at the firm to watch a movie on April Fool's day.

This year, we were told:

we have dug deeply into our film vault and will present one of the last great film noir movies of all time. It’s the story of a good cop who crosses over into the Dark Side and is rescued by a woman who pays a truly horrifying price for doing so—much worse than anything Luke Skywalker ever suffered. This movie has some of the nastiest male and female villains ever to appear on the screen....However, in no event will any coffee be allowed on the premises. You will understand the reason for that once you see the movie. And those of you who know your film history should now know what movie will be shown.

What movie do you all think it is?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do you know the answer, or are we helping you guess?

Yes, I need to know.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Kindergarten Cop?

I do not know the answer. I thought someone else might.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Based on this:

in no event will any coffee be allowed on the premises

I'll bet you a breakfast at that awesome place down your way with the amazing giant coffee cake that it's this movie.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

JZ's guess is the correct guess. I'm very sure.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Star Trekker? Star Trekkier?
