Let OMG help.
"I. Drink. Your. MILKSHAKE! I DRINK IT UP!" (spoiler)
The line from Paul Anderson's "There Will Be Blood" has taken on a life if its own.
But where did it come from? According to Anderson particularly the lines came straight from a transcript he found of the 1924 congressional hearings over the Teapot Dome scandal, in which Sen. Albert Fall was convicted of accepting bribes for oil-drilling rights to public lands in Wyoming and California.
"The question is, what is its proper use? What situation demands the milkshake treatment? As a sports metaphor? (“Let’s face it. The Celtics drank the Knicks’ milkshake last night.”) An amorphously obscene double entendre, hearkening back to its Kelis-ian roots? (“I’d like to drink your milkshake!”) Or maybe, in a nod to the godlike venom of its utterer, a taunt: 'You best back down before I drink your milkshake, bitch.” In the end, none of these seem quite right, especially as they all om
it the special genius of the line’s coda, a burst of half-mad juvenilia that captures the demented feeling of the scene better even than the line itself: “I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!” "
Of coursethe inevitable You Tube mash up clip sprang forth.
But Jake and Austin? What the ? Well Austin can't make one. But Jake can surely shake one.
And oh yeah, Austin would be asking if fries go with that shake.
