Now who or what are you quoting? I don't recognise it. 1983 movie called "Mr Mom". Original quote used 220... 221, I had to change it slightly to make it work here. Basically a stay at home house husband is embarrassed by his situation. The scene (I think) followed him removing a wall with a chain saw and stating to his macho friend / visitor that he was remodeling. Friend asks "are you going to wire it 220?" Was hard to find, I remember the strangest things! -- William |
