now Shirley has a question:
When you're talking about the special edition, are you talking about 
the DVD that's around $80US?  Because I bought the less expensive one 
that came out before the special edition.  Somewhat irritating, that, 
since I hate to have two copies of the same movie, but the special 
edition sounds really great.

Shirley, wishing she'd been more patient when the TTT DVD first came 
out....
