Thirsty?
Renaud was so adorable in Wanted that we squealed whenever he came onscreen. I was in a Renaud mood when I got home, so I put on the Best of '75-'85 CD I burned from Renata. In Dès que le vent soufflera, Renaud sings "La mer, c'est dégueulasse/ Les poissons baisent dedans."
In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, after Indy bluffs to the Germans that Marcus Brody will blend in and disappear in Egypt, it flashes to Marcus in Cairo, looking for someone who speaks English or ancient Greek. When someone offers him some water, if you listen carefully, he responds, "Water? No thank you; fish make love in it."
What is the connection here? Are they both making reference to another earlier quote about the watery behavior of fish, or is Brody (1989) quoting Renaud (1983)? I find it hard to believe that they would both independently come up with the idea. Is there some kind of vast fish-love conspiracy? Can this quote be found elsewhere? What's going on here?
