“How did you know? I love this song!”

From: White Chicks

Genre: Movies

Who said it?: Latrell Spencer

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the comedy film, White Chicks. The film stars Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans as two FBI agents who disguise themselves as the daughters of a wealthy family in order to protect them from kidnappers.

The quote is mentioned near the end of the film. Professional basketball player Latrell Spencer (played by Terry Crews) wins a date with Marlon Wayans’ character. In an attempt to annoy Latrell to force him to end the date quickly, Marlon Wayans’ character turns on the radio and plays Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles.” This backfires as, after delivering the quote, Latrell starts singing along to the song.

Geek wisdom: Never judge a book by its cover. You may make presumptions on the likes and dislikes of a person based on their race, religion or their upbringing. However, you don’t really know what makes them tick. You may have a lot more in common than you realize.

Most of my childhood (and adult life) was spent doing a lot of geeky stuff: watching TV, playing video games and going to the movies. To some, it may have been a waste of time. Well, to me, it has made me what I am today... a geeky adult. I actually write for a couple of blogs, namely: geekwisdom.wordpress.com 3rdworldgeeks.com gamemoir.com Please check them out!
