Guess who’s coming for dinner? (6)

The dialogue is brilliant, simply brilliant, in this must see film from 1967 with Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn as parents to a daughter who’s bringing over her fiancé, who is black, superbly done by Mr. Hollywood elegance himself, Sidney Poitier.

However, I’m just using it, stealing it for this dinner that we’re all having.

Yeah, that’s right, you heard me. The place has been booked, the table’s a big circle shaped one, not one long one, with ends to allow brawls over, brawls over who among us is the most important and should be allowed these places of special honour, the menu is decided, and all you can drink will be there for free. You invitation, which is already in the mail, includes all details, and one of them I will reveal here as you must reply as soon as possible.

To this dinner, you are allowed to bring two persons of your own choice. It’s a bloody hypothetical dinner if you haven’t figured it out now so you’re allowed to bring whoever you want. Dead or alive, use your imagination. These two will be sat with us, one on each of your sides, and the point is, of course, that you think it will be two persons which will add to the intriguing, exciting, special, never forgotten and almost mythical which this evening will serve.

Name the two persons you’re bringing, and motivate why, or else they might not be allowed through the front door.
You don’t have to add CS members, as they’re already invited.

My own:

To my right side, I will invite Nelson Mandela. He is the greatest role model I have ever heard of, and a person which you can not go wrong with as far as mentors go. Mandela has inspired songs, whole books can be written about him, and still enough could not be said. Yet, if there is one word which I always come to think which kind of is to define this great human for me, it is the word Dignity.
I would not ask him much about Riker’s island, human rights, Apartheid, or politics, I’m guessing. I bet I would, we would all, simply be sat there intensely uplifted by the aura which his simple yet powerful person would emit through the room.

Behind all the Kaya smoke, and the iconic images put to side, there was a brilliant poet in this son of Nine Miles, St.Ann. Bob Marley is probably the most fantastic poet among musicians ever.
Stop that train, I wanna get on, my baby she’s leaving today
I would not be able to contain myself, I would most definitely ask if he could not pick up the acoustic guitar I brought, and treat us with a few songs, as the early morning bottles of red wine are scattered on the table, and the party continues, us wanting it to never stop.

Who do you invite to our party?

I'd invite the late gorgeous Princess Diana who was a perfect role in so many aspects of life which gave us good humble examples. She'll be sitting on my right.

My second invite goes to Mr. Bryan Adams who will be performing live and will dedicate his romantic music to all us women..one of my favourites is" Everything i do, i do it for you"...

Mark Twain for his satirical wit and William Shakespeare for his intellect.

Oooh so many people spring to mind, but if I can only choose two then, Simone de Beauvoir, great writer and radical thinker, and Salvador Dali, crazy but so gifted. I would want to ask her about her relationship with Sartre, (somewhat disappointing for me) and Salvador, why he was such a political coward (again disappointing IMO)

I would invite Jesus Christ, for some serious conversation......and Bob Dylan for some lighter moments....

...if Bob couldn't make it, I'd invite Penelope Cruz....:-)
