But It's the Only One I Have

I watched the recent movie, "Perfume," last night. It's the kind of film I like---unusual, unpredictable---and was a critical hit though, as with many such non-formula movies, not a commercial hit. It was set in 18th-century France, and one scene involved an ax-wielding excutioner about to do his "heady" duty toward his prisoner. The prisoner was, of course, trembling and sweating. At that point, I wanted to put the words into the excutioner's mouth, "Not to worry---you just have a case of separation anxiety."
