What?

I (Liv) am an 80s kid and Courtney played in a lot of cool 80s and 90s movies. Among them is "The 'Burbs". This movie is one of my favorites and I can dream this movie. Courtney plays the role of Hans Klopek in "The 'Burbs" and whenever me and my brother are talking about or watching this movie (we do that a lot) one of Hans' lines keeps coming back. When Rumsfield (played by the wonderful Bruce Dern) asks Hans if the girl in the photo is a friend of him, he answers:  "No, it came with the frame". If you ever saw the movie, you'll know what line that is. Well, back to House of Horrors: I had been repeating that line for the entire weekend (much to Carola's frustration haha). So I had to have a talk with him. I gave Courtney a present and had a little talk with him. Later on he even agreed to record a video, where he says the line....Such a great guy!
