When Betty is mad at Don because he forgets to pick up Sally, she yells, "Where are you?" on the phone. It's a land line. No such thing as cell phones. And even if this were a situation where someone said a figure of speech that did not completely apply, nobody would ever have a reason to say "where are you" until cell phones were invented.


I don't know what show you're talking about, so maybe I'm off base. Before cell phones, people might use the phrase "Where are you?" to mean, "What's taking so long for you to get here!"

Possibly the worst movie line ever delivered:

"Do you know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else!"

This is more of a complaint about the entire scene, but in Four Brothers, when they are all on the ice, the bad guy says something about their mom and the camera jumps to one of them saying, "You watch your mouth!"

Then it cuts back to a view of the group and that same guy is standing there calmly as if he didn't just get angry or say anything.

Just shitty filming that annoys the crap out of me.

Fun fact: This line was written and added into the script by Joss Whedon.
