Henry M wonders what Charles B. had in mind:
"Those seven simple words?" Am I miscounting something someplace?
Maybe I missed something: an obvious phrase, a previous message?
WHAT seven simple words?
I'm probably missing the point but since "The English Patient" bears an
R rating, are the seven those words you can't say on TV or radio?
Or possibly he's referring to "But they are all in the Zone" slightly contracted
by Ted S. to "But they're all in the Zone."
Better just wait for Charles to reply.
