Mary's horrendous and shameful fate without George Bailey.

George:Clarence, where's Mary?

Clarence:"She's just about to close up the library!!!"

Watching this scene as an adult and laughing my ass off every time has become one of my favorite holiday traditions.

Honestly imagine being Mary and just trying to leave work after a long day, when this weird shit happens.

Mary it's George! Don't you know me?!

This is timely. I just read a fantastic article all about how Mary becoming a spinster without George probably isn't as goofy (or as overtly sexist) as it seems. Quite a thought provoking article.

Reminds me of the "She's got glasses. And a ponytail. Ugh, she's got paint on her overalls. What is that?" line from Not Another Teen Movie

I never saw this movie until I was an adult. How the fuck did boomers love this movie and end up such bootlickers? Did they just walk away from the movie saying that suicide is bad? Does the whole building and loan storyline not even register for them?

I really don't understand Boomers, I do not understand how you can be the free love hippies of the 1960's and then turn around and vote for Nixon.

Maybe it's like how New Agers turned into QAnon

Here's the secret: There's more than one.

My biggest issue with that movie is that George’s problem isn’t that he thinks everybody else would be better off without him alive. It’s that he doesn’t want to be alive cause his life is too stressful. Clarence doesn’t really get that.

That, and, Mary was happy as an old maid.
