“My favorite line is actually one of Daniel’s, because my first days’ work – one of my first shots was walking away from Dumbledore’s desk, and I said to Chris Columbus, ‘Oh, I’d really love an exit line.’ And he said ‘Well, let’s go again, we’ll shoot something, just make something up.’ And we didn’t tell Daniel. And he was only, uh, waist high, and I turned around – unexpectedly – to him, and I said, uh, ‘Let us hope Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day.’ And he looked up at me, and he puffed his chest out, and he said, ‘Don’t worry. I will be.’ Which is pretty impressive for a twelve year old. And he stayed that impressive ever since.” –Jason Isaacs.
my brother is teaching his cat how to high five by giving her a treat every time she successfully taps her hand to his hand, which is all well and good, but now she thinks that she is entitled to food every time she high fives someone. i can’t eat in the same room as her anymore because she’ll just bap my hand rapid fire and then go nyoom straight in for my pizza like no Kelly that’s illegal go finish ur own dinner
“No Kelly, that’s illegal.”
So, a while back, I was using clicker-training to teach my cat Taz tricks. She learned very quickly and it was a good experience all around, but we had to hide the clicker.
Taz had learned that the clicker meant she got treats. So she would find it, carry it up to people, step on it to make it click, and then SCREAM AT THEM to give her the treats she was clearly owed because the clicker had made a sound.
