Ray, tell missapocalyptic ‚break a leg’. Why should I do that, Frase? Its common used to wish someone luck in the theatre. That doesn’t make any sense … ‘Break a leg’. How can that be something good? It’s just a figure of speech, Ray. It’s stupid. That’s what it is. Ray! Ray! Ray! No, Frase, she could fall off the stage or forget her lines or somethin’ cuz I said something stupid like that. That’s just silly, Ray. You sure? Absolutely. All right then, ‘break your leg’. Darn! What? I seem to have sprain my ankle…
"Actually Ray, the saying "break a leg" has it's origins in the belief that fate is cruel and always makes the opposite of the wish come true. So, if I tell you to break your leg, you won't break your leg, whereas if I told you to not kiss me you'd umphhhh..."
