Speaking Blonde

The plane is on its way to houston when a blonde in economy class gets up and moves to the first class section and sits down.
The flight attendant watches her do this and asks to see her ticket.
She then tells the blonde that she paid for economy class and that she will have to sit in the back.
The blonde replies, "i'm blond, i'm beautiful, i'm going to houston and i'm staying right here."
The flight attendant goes into the cockpit and tells the pilot and the co-pilot that there is a blonde sitting in first class that belongs in economy and won't move back to her seat
The co-pilot goes back to the blonde and tries to explain that because she only paid for economy she will have to leave and return to her seat.
The blonde replies, "i'm blonde, i'm beautiful, i'm going to houston and i'm staying right here."
The co-pilot tells the pilot that he probably should have the police waiting when they land to arrest this blonde woman who won't listen to reason.
The pilot says, "you say she is a blonde? I'll handle this. I'm married to a blonde. I speak blonde."
He goes back to the blonde and whispers in her ear, and she says, "oh, i'm sorry." she gets up and goes back to her seat in economy.
The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and asked him what he said to make her move without any fuss.
I told her, "first class isn't going to houston ......"

A Borges' short story related with a scene from Terminator Salvation

, ,

[más abajo en castellano]

Before starting, I must say that this is a spoiler of Terminator Salvation and The Circular Ruins, so will be better if you watch the movie and read the story before this post.
My post is about the scene of Marcus Wright attempt of infiltration in a Skynet base. When he stands in front of the robot guard, and afterwards is recognized as a member of the 'robot-side', his expression made me remember the end of The Circular Ruins: "With relief, with humiliation, with terror, he understood that he also was an illusion, that someone else was dreaming him."

Un cuento de Borges en relación a una escena de Terminator Salvation
Antes que nada debo aclarar que mi comentario sobre la película Terminator Salvation en relación al cuento Las Ruinas Circulares es un spoiler directo en ambos casos, por lo que si no leyeron el cuento o vieron la película, no van a apreciar mi comentario como es debido.

La cuestión es que la parte en que Marcus Wright se infiltra a la base de Skynet, el momento en que se presenta delante del robot guardia y es identificado como un miembro del bando de los robots, la expresión en el rostro de Marcus Wright me hizo acordar muchísimo al final del cuento de Borges: "Con alivio, con humillación, con terror, comprendió que él también era una apariencia, que otro estaba soñándolo."
