Jack & Bobby - Peter/John Love#4: The mustache.....the hat.....we even like the beard!

jsrocks · 04-28-2005, 07:43 PM

Welcome to the appreciation thread for Peter Benedict, Grace's conservative, off-putting employer, and John Slattery, the under-appreciated actor who plays him. Feel free to discuss anything related to this wonderful actor and man!

Hotpants Love

With John it's not just the looks that we care about! He's hilarious

and incredibly intelligent, which is very appealing!

He can make complex dialogues sound natural when he's acting and has a certain presence about him that just makes you want to be around him all the time.

We've also heard from numerous sources that he his an incredibly nice guy! He likes baseball which is A-O-K with those of us who like the NYY b/c it's always fun to have rivalries!

John also has incredible talent! Before we grow old and die we will make it a life goal for all of us John fans to see him during a play of some sort in New York (Broadway or Off B-Way). We bet it would be amazing to see him in the theater.

On screen John can go from the film medium to tv and make it look natural. Last but not least.....He is the most gorgeous man alive!!!!!!!!!!!

Quotes:

Pilot:
(Jack spies someone moving into the President's house and hands the keyboard to Bobby)
Bobby: That's where the college president lives. The new one's moving in soon. Mom says he's a money-grubbing whore.

(Outside the party, Grace walks into a man)
Grace: Oh, gosh.
Peter: Sorry.
Grace: Sorry.
Peter: The party still going on?
Grace: Oh, God, save yourself. If you came for the entertainment, you're out of luck. That windbag Benedict? Didn't even bother to show up. And the rest of them? Embalmed.
Peter: Really, that bad, huh?
Grace: Worse, but hey. Party hearty.
Peter: You walking home?
Grace: Huh?
Peter: Alone?
Grace: The muggers are all students, they'd be scared to attack me.
Peter: Oh, wait a second. I'll walk with you.
Grace: What? Miss your first faculty party?
Peter: Well, like you said, the old windbag didn't even show up. What kind of party's that?
Grace: (Smiling) Okay.

Grace: Then they had to go and hire this President Benedict, this money grubbing whore. His sole talent is for streamlining and revenue increase! I mean, a University is not a widget company!
Peter: No!
Grace: No! And what has this guy ever done, except make money and destroy departments, right? Oh, but he looks good on paper! He's got his MBA, he's got his unblemished record!
Peter: What *has* this guy done?
Grace: I don't know, I can't recite the specifics, but he was one of the six faceless candidates on the shortlist, you know, each one less distinguished than the last. And I know enough to know what was in his CV. Ugh, please. A vast, safe banality all the decrepit trustees could embrace. Oh yeah, I know this guy.
Peter: Wow.

Peter: I'm Peter. Benedict. But! My friends? All call me the money grubbing whore. Goodnight, Grace.

Better Days:
Peter: Grace, I'm a Republican, I'm not a Communist. Say whatever you want.
Grace: Oh, God. You're a Republican?!

Friends With Benefits:
Peter: Well my first reaction is Rage, just 'throw-you-out-of-my-office Rage', but let's talk about my second reaction; bewilderment!

New thread!

jsrocks · 04-28-2005, 08:25 PM

For a good effort for me!

It took me forever!

I still have some fixing to do but we now have a good thread!!!

And notice I changed all the "I"s to "We"s in that Hotpants Love quote. I thought I'd make it for all of us.

deathofacat · 04-28-2005, 08:27 PM

if you need help, just ask!

Great job!

jsrocks · 04-28-2005, 08:32 PM

How do I post links to the other threads where you only see the title names and not the url?

hahaha notice I have a picture on here for everything in our title!

The mustache pic is at the bottom, the hat pic is above that one, and I've got the beard pic covered!!

Aww

John

deathofacat · 04-29-2005, 04:07 AM

Ok:

*Copy the URL.
*You'll have to post with the "Adavanced" reply
*Along with all your options at the top, you should have an arrow, tilting a bit
*Click it
*A text box will jump up
*First, type the words that you want to appear
*Click "OK"
*The box will still be there, but blank
*Paste the URL
*Click"OK"
*It'll look really long on the reply page, but once you've posted it, it should work.

Hope that helps!

jsrocks · 04-29-2005, 07:06 AM

Let me go try that................

ah haha ok before I go and change the stuff, I have to say that there is an ad at the bottom of the page right now that is for a Beard Trimmer!!!!!!!!!!

WHEW!!!

I spent all morning polishing up the thread!

Hope you all like it!!!

deathofacat · 04-29-2005, 01:59 PM

Lovin' the thread!

jsrocks · 04-29-2005, 03:44 PM

Thanks!!

deathofacat · 04-29-2005, 03:47 PM

The miscallenous stuff was a good idea!

Oh, John love! Where's Andie?

Oh, and I was thinking, should we add John songs? The Chris and Brad threads both have them.

jsrocks · 04-29-2005, 03:50 PM

What songs?

deathofacat · 04-29-2005, 03:53 PM

I don't know, just anything that reminds us of John or Peter. Hmm......

jsrocks · 04-29-2005, 03:55 PM

I'll think about some. Probably any song that has the word "Love" in it.

deathofacat · 04-29-2005, 03:58 PM

"Love Boat"? Ok, yeah, I'm in a horrible Pearl Jam mode......

jsrocks · 04-29-2005, 04:01 PM

There's still a "Buy Beard Trimmer" ad at the bottom.

Stupid people, John doesn't have to shave if he doesn't want to!!

That's funny.

I will definitely try to think of some tonight.

Edit: Oh I remember there was one that played in an Ed preview where Carol and Dennis kissed in the park. I can't remember the name of the song, but I remember the words. Everytime I hear that song it makes me think of John.

I will find that one.
