The movie's about this guy who gets his mind changed by the folks in the Scotch seaside village where he's come to do business. His intent, at first , is to exploit the place. Then he falls in love with it, inspired by its magical pull. When he gets back to New York, his " home," he longs for that other place he found. The ringing of the phone. He's making a call back. And you just know. He's going back to where he belongs.

Gag me with a spoonful of haggis.

And, BTW, Scotch is whiskey. Seaside villages are Scottish.

Everybody in the flick was drunk half the time. That's why I called it a Scotch village.

OK. I stand irrelevant.

AND incorrect.

Whiskey is American. Whisky is Scottish. And Scotch too, I guess.

Boy, is MY face red!
