Ok, so one of my favorite movies when I was a kid was Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs; I used to watch it all the time and I still sometimes watch it for old time’s sake when it shows up on TV. However, I’m wondering if there’s a scene I might be remembering incorrectly.
So I’m assuming most of you have seen the movie, but just in case, for context: a scientist, Flint, invents a machine that converts water to food and causes it to rain food all over town when it gets shot into the sky, but the machine goes haywire and causes the food to over-mutate so he and his new friends have to shut it down. The machine is basically inside a giant exoskeleton of food; Flint and Sam, his love interest, get in and almost get to where the machine is, but are blocked by a cavern of peanut brittle, as Sam has a severe peanut allergy. As Flint gets lowered inside with a rope, Sam accidentally gets scratched by a piece of it and goes into anaphylactic shock, so Flint offers to cut the rope so she can get back to the ship and get the medicine she needs. Before he does, the following conversation happens:
Sam: Look…I like you, okay?
Flint: Like…like, as a friend?
Sam: No, like…like you, like you.
And that seems innocuous enough, but I swear to GOD this was supposed to be a callback to an earlier scene where they’re first getting to know each other & Sam tells Flint she likes him and Flint’s like “ like me like me?” & she’s like “no I mean as a friend” which would make the later scene more meaningful, but whenever I watch it on TV or streaming that scene never happens, even though I remember watching it when I saw it in theaters. It could just be a Mandela effect, but I know what I saw.
If anyone could help me on this one, I’d definitely appreciate it.
