"Lo, the ponderous tongue is swinging --- 'tis the hour of Curfew now,
And the sight has chilled her bosom, stopped her breath and paled her brow!"

(Bunny answers the phone and declares into the receiver:)

"Shall she let it ring? No, never! flash her eyes with sudden light
As she springs and grasps it firmly: "Curfew SHALL NOT RING TONIGHT!"

(a click, and Bunny says in mock surprise:)

They hung up!

Usually when I work late into the night there's nothing on TV but overnight news and infomercials. (Guess which I keep on in the background?)

But it's terrific to see that AMC is showing Desk Set tonight. I never actively seek it out, but whenever it comes on I know what I'll be watching for the next couple hours. Luckily, I've seen it three or four times already, so I think I'll be able to keep working while I watch.

Incidentally, the penultimate moment of the movie fed to Google, our own EMIAC ("Search took 0.12 seconds.")
