Brooklyn Is Not Expanding!

Annie Hall, one of my all time favorites

I was listening to NPR last night and reminded of this clip from the movie Annie Hall. Alvy Singer really has it all figured out! And the mother's reaction is priceless!

Mother(to doctor): He's been depressed. All of a sudden, he can't do anything.

Doc: Why are you depressed, Alvy?

Mother: Tell doctor Flicker. It's something he read.
Doc: Something you read, heah?
Alvy: The universe is expanding.
Doc: The universe is expanding?
Alvy: Well, the universe is everything, and if it's expanding, someday it will break apart and that would be the end of everything!
Mother(shouting): What is that your business? (to doctor) He stopped doing his homework.
Alvy: What's the point?
Mother: What has the universe got to do with it? You're here in Brooklyn! Brooklyn is not expanding!
