I can't take credit for this discovery, as I just read about it somewhere else, but it's very intriguing to ponder nonetheless: the number of the safety deposit box Kate was so desperate to break into was 815--which was also the flight number of the castaways' plane. Cue creepy music... I played back the portion where she was taking the safety deposit box out of hte rack and setting it on the desk... I could not make out any numbers anywhere... is this a Hi-Def TV discovery? *L* I will check to see if maybe it can be seen on the key when she holds it up to the bank manager... Vlad

And duh! It can't be "seen", but she "tells" the bank manager she needs the key to safety deposit box 815. It's a valid discovery! Thanks for bringing it home, Sara!

Actually, it is French. Sera is the future tense of the verb être. This is just one of those funny instances where you can see how closely related the Romance languages are. Full lyrics: When I was just a little girl I asked my mother What will I be Will I be pretty Will I be rich Here's what she said to me Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be When I grew up and fell in love I asked my sweetheart What lies ahead Will we have rainbows Day after day Here's what my sweetheart said Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be Now I have Children of my own They ask their mother What will I be Will I be handsome Will I be rich I tell them tenderly Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be Que Sera, Sera This song was written for Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 re-make Of his 1934 film "The Man Who Knew Too Much" Starring Doris Day & Jimmy Stewart Huh... Is it supposed to be French, or Spanish? Because it works just as well in Spanish. -Matthew, not bein' dogmatic, just curious. And btw, I knew you'd come to our rescue with the lyrics to La Mer. ;D

And btw, I knew you'd come to our rescue with the lyrics to La Mer. ;D I think it's suppposed to be French. The film it comes from is set in Morocco, a francophone country, and the family talks about having recently visited Paris. Plus, given the era and the social class of the family, Doris Day would have been much more likely to know French. And now I have to go work on lesson plans for an actual French class - we've missed two days this week for ice and everything is a mess.

EXCELLENT catch Anne! I played both back, Shannon's singing and the music played by the box and they are indeed one and the same! It's hard to hear from Shannon's singing but theres a little catch riff in there that goes dah-dah, dah-dah dee dah dee dah that stands out particularly on the music box and if you get past Shannon's singing (which is quite marvelous and I mean to talk about it in my review), they end the episode with a musical version playing in the background and it can be distinctly heard..the same series of notes. Vlad *pouts* I asked the question, too. Don't I get a pat on the head? Karen, 12. Seriously, the only reason I was struck by it was that it is one of my all-time most hated songs because everytime I hear it it depresses me. Hmmm, I really wonder what my childhood trauma is. Music, like smells, is a terrific memory reminder. ETA: So, no one thought of 'Que Sera Sera' when they read the title of this episode but me, huh? "Whatever the Case May Be" Lyrics: "Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be" Ok, just me, then. ;D And if you didn't think you were in the Twilight Zone before, I bet you do now.

I cheerfully surrender and bow to your superior logic and research skills. ;D Good luck with the lesson plans!!!

I have plenty of pats to go around. Are you sure you want the "head"? I have a variety of patting expertise and can really do some marvelous things with other areas. Oh wait... twelve? Errr... maybe we will just stick to the "head" after all. Vlad
