Her favorite Austrian is Freud, huh? I guess that's a better choice than Archduke Ferdinand or Hitler (whom I believe was born in Austria).

I don't even think I can name another Austrian.

I guess Mozart and Schwarzenegger don't count for much.

Look, I've had about eight vodka-tonics tonight. And I'm a child of divorce. Cut me some slack, Jack.

Just thought of another one... Martin Buber.

Did anyone read "I and Thou" in Philosophy class?

LMAO!

Can't say I've lit into the vodka tonight, but the cabernet was calling my name and I felt that it was imperative that I answer.

My father.. for one!

You guys caught on to Mozart already, but Haydn, Strauss and Schubert were all Austrians... From Cinema, besides 'Arnold' , you can count an unparalleled list of geniuses including von Sternberg, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, Eric von Stroheim and Fritz Lang ("M", Metropolis).. about as important a list of visionaries as you could assemble.. (And don't forget actress/scientist Hedy Lamarr too!)

Cajun mentioned Buber (!), but I'd put Kafka ahead of him on the writer list... Freud yes, but also important child psychologist/author Bruno Bettelheim and many more..

Some others of note people might not recall or realize as Austrian: the von Trapps ('Sound of Music'); Wolfgang Puck; Theodore Herzl and Simon Weisenthal..

Well la-de-fricken-da, look at the big brain on bread! He leads Meet The Pros, AND can recite the Ten Most Famous Austrains. How about naming the Ten Most Famous Austrian-bred Thoroughbreds, smart guy? I'll bet you can't name five.

Believe it or not... I LOVE the drink. Must have had 10 Frank's & Grey Goose down at GP. It's a tempered version of Red Bull, just the right amount of caffeine and sugar.

From 'Pulp Fiction'.. Samuel Jackson when he and Travolta go to retrieve the mysterious briefcase...

Jules: Hey kids! How you boys doin'?
[to man laying on the couch]
Jules: Hey, keep chillin'. You know who we are? We're associates of your business partner Marsellus Wallace. You do remember your business partner don't you? Let me take a wild guess here. You're Brett, right?
Brett: Yeah.
Jules: I thought so. You remember your business partner Marsellus Wallace, don't you, Brett?
Brett: Yeah, yeah, I remember him.
Jules: Good. Looks like me an Vincent caught you boys at breakfast. Sorry about that. Whatcha havin'?
Brett: Hamburgers.
Jules: Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast. What kind of hamburgers?
Brett: Ch-cheeseburgers.
Jules: No, no no, where'd you get 'em? McDonalds? Wendy's? Jack in the Box? Where?
Brett: Big Kahuna Burger.
Jules: Big Kahuna Burger. That's that Hawaiian burger joint. I hear they got some tasty burgers. I ain't never had one myself. How are they?
Brett: They're good.
Jules: Mind if I try one of yours? This is yours here, right?
[Picks up burger and takes a bite]
Jules: Mmm-mmmm. That is a tasty burger. Vincent, ever have a Big Kahuna Burger?
[Vincent shakes his head]
Jules: Wanna bite? They're real tasty.
Vincent: Ain't hungry.
Jules: Well, if you like burgers give 'em a try sometime. I can't usually get 'em myself because my girlfriend's a vegitarian which pretty much makes me a vegitarian. But I do love the taste of a good burger. Mm-mm-mm. You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?
Brett: No.
Jules: Tell 'em, Vincent.
Vincent: A Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese! You know why they call it that?
Brett: Because of the metric system?
Jules: Check out the big brain on Brett! You're a smart ************. That's right. The metric system. What's in this?
Brett: Sprite.
Jules: Sprite, good. You mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down?
Brett: Go right ahead.
Jules: Ah, hit the spot


More from that scene...

Jules: You, flock of seagulls, you know why we're here? Why don't you tell my man Vincent where you got the **** hid?
Marvin: It's over there.
Jules: I don't remember askin' you a Goddamn thing! You were saying?
Roger: It's in the cupboard. No, no, the one by your knees.
Jules: We happy? Vincent! We happy?
Vincent: Yeah, yeah, we happy.
Brett: I'm sorry, I didn't get your name. I got your name, Vincent, right? But I didn't get...
Jules: My name's Pith. And your ass ain't talkin' your way out of this ****.
Brett: No, no, I just want you to know... I just want you to know how sorry we are that things got so ****ed up with us and Mr. Wallace. We got into this thing with the best intentions and I never...
Jules: [Jules shoots the man on the couch] I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue, you were saying something about best intentions. What's the matter? Oh, you were finished. Well then, allow me to retort. What does Marsellus Wallace look like?
Brett: What?
Jules: What country are you from?
Brett: What?
Jules: What ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?
Brett: What?
Jules: English, ************, do you speak it?
Brett: Yes.
Jules: Then you know what I'm sayin'!
Brett: Yes.
Jules: Describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like!
Brett: What?
Jules: Say what again. Say what again, ************, say what one more Goddamn time!

Well, that means either my football coach thought my name was Brett (not unlikely since I was the backup place kicker and never saw the field), OR he misunderstood Jules, OR I misunderstood him.

Also, I've seen that movie 20 times, so there is no excuse.

Also, I thought John Fogerty was saying "There's a BATHROOM on the RIGHT" until I turned 25, so I have a history of this sort of thing.

I'd hate to see your bar tab. Those things were $9 a pop. I really didn't get a taste of Frank's since it was so drowned out by vodka (which it damn well better be for $9 six ounce glasses filled with ice).
