Hoje Tom Jobim faria 80 anos, estivesse ainda vivo. Não costumo entrar na onda das nostalgias e homenagens póstumas. Quem me conhece mesmo sabe que eu só fico pensando as possíveis ruas e pontos de destaque nas cidades poderiam ser oferecidas em homenagem. No caso do Tom Jobim o aeroporto foi merecido, ainda mais lembrando que ele cantou o galeão em “Samba do Avião”.

Minha homenagem, mais singela, vem com uma seção já há algum tempo ausente do blog, o Seinfeld Quote of the Day:

Episode: The Maestro
Setting: [Jerry's Apartment]

KRAMER: Hey Maestro!
MAESTRO: Ah, Kramer.
KRAMER: I’m in here. How’s it going.
MAESTRO: Fine.
JERRY: Hi Bob.
(Kramer coughs purposely and motions toward maestro with his head)
JERRY: (Apologetically) Oh, I’m sorry. Maestro.
KRAMER: Well, this is a surprise ha?
MAESTRO: I just wanted to drop off this Chinese balm for your burns. It’s supposed to be great stuff. It’s all herbal.
KRAMER: Oh Maestro, you, what are you doing? You don’t have to do this. Do you believe this Maestro?
MAESTRO: It’s nothing.
KRAMER: Yeah, ya know you haven’t been around for a while.
MAESTRO: Oh yeah, I’ve been at my house in Tuscany.
KRAMER: Oh Tuscany huh? Hear that Jerry? That’s in Italy.
JERRY: I hear it’s ah beautiful there.
MAESTRO: Well if you’re thinking of getting a place there don’t bother. There’s really nothing available.
JERRY: (Surprised) Huh?
(Elaine enters from bathroom)
MAESTRO: (Seeing Elaine) Oh!
ELAINE: Hello.
MAESTRO: Well Hello. And who might you be?
ELAINE: I might be Elaine.
JERRY: This is a, Bob Cobb.
KRAMER: Maestro.
ELAINE: Oh, Maestro.
MAESTRO: It is my very great pleasure. (Kisses Elaine’s hand)
ELAINE: Enchante.

=======================

KRAMER: You know you hurt the Maestro’s feelings.
JERRY: Oh what, because I didn’t call him Maestro?
KRAMER: That’s right.
JERRY: Ya know I feel a little funny calling somebody Maestro.
KRAMER: Why?
JERRY: Because it’s a stupid thing to be called.
KRAMER: Jerry he’s a conductor.
JERRY: Oh conductor. He conducts the Policeman’s Benevolent Association Orchestra.
KRAMER: Well, he’s still a conductor.
