You never see a commie drink water, right Mandrake?

It's always Vodka.

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake? Children's ice cream!...You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love... Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I — I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence.

5. And probably could not be made at this time.

Which is a sad thought. All of my favorite movies would probably never make it past script approval today -- even "Desk Set."

6. Uisce beatha = water of life = Irish whiskey

wiki works fine for this one.

Uisce beatha (Irish pronunciation: [ˈɪʃcə ˈbʲahə]) is the name for whiskey in the Irish language. The word "whiskey" itself is simply an anglicized version of this phrase, stemming from a mispronunciation of the word uisce. This may in turn have influenced the Modern Irish word fuisce ("whiskey&quot . The phrase uisce beatha, literally "water of life", was the name given by Irish monks of the early Middle Ages to distilled alcohol. It is simply a translation of the Latin aqua vitae.

It would appear a "common" theme amongst many cultures of one form of alcohol or another. I find that quite interesting.

7. Yeah, well fuck all of the origins. They're good shit. Unfortunately, "wine" sounds like "whine".

On a side note, "Evian" is "Naive" spelled backwards and I'm sure that was intentional.

8. You could call it vino; then it sounds less like whine.

Or, Evian could be called that because of it's origins.
------
Evian (French pronunciation: [e'vjɑ̃ ], Phonetic Pronunciation: AY-vee-ahn) is a French brand of mineral water coming from several sources near Évian-les-Bains, on the south shore of Lake Geneva.
------
Évian-les-Bains or Évian (French pronunciation: [evjɑ̃ le bɛ̃]) is a commune in the northern part of the Haute-Savoie department in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. An elite holiday resort and spa town on the shores of Lake Geneva (French: Lac Léman), for two centuries, it has hosted many Royals such as Kings Edward VII and George V of the United Kingdom and King Farouk of Egypt, and celebrities such as countess Anna de Noailles, Birdic Dragoljub and Marcel Proust.

Some of us know the definition of facts. We're the snobs and elitists.
