You Think You Know (2003)

Can’t remember what brought on the next one. ‘I don’t know’ is as common as ‘I’m sorry’. I won’t go there. At least, not yet. It was used in a different sense in one of my favorite films, “Get Shorty”. Star-filled cast. Great storyline. The kind of movie you throw on when there’s nothing else on. Highly recommended. John Travolta arrives at a restaurant to meet up with Rene Russo and Gene Hackman. Reaching the top of the stairs, he is blocked by Delroy Lindo and James Gandolfini (yup, Tony Soprano himself, playing ‘Bear’, a stuntman/bodyguard). After ‘Bear’ is thrown down the stairs, Delroy says to John, “You don’t know me; you only think you do”.

You Think You Know
2003

You think you know…
And you’re right; you think –
But you don’t know,
You only think you do…

When you’re thinking,
You don’t really know…
You’ll only know
When you’re done thinking…

Think to yourself –
Do you know, while you are thinking?
No, you don’t;
That’s why you’re thinking…

But you won’t know
Unless you think first…
And if you think about it,
Knowing is an afterthought,
At the end of thinking…

So now you know…
Or do you…
I don’t think so…
