This chapter brought up a connection to many movies where average people are thrown into very dramatic situations. Bertram Copeland Rumfoord was an average man with a job at Harvard. He was extraordinarily smart, but still very average. After an unfortunate injury, is thrown into a hospital room with Billy Pilgrim. Billy has the most bizarre life ever. He is unstuck time and going from one life experience to another. Bertram is freaked out by Billy's constant talk about Dresden and the bombing and WWII. Another man who was thrown into another lifestyle was Adam Sandler in Mr. Deeds. He plays as Longfellow Deeds, an average man who runs a pizza shop in a small city. His grandfather dies, leaving him a ton of money in inheritance. Quickly, he becomes one of the richest men in the country living in a huge penthouse in downtown New York City. This huge change of scenery freaks him out at first. However, he gets used to it and lives the life of luxury. This is what Bertram could not do. He could not get past the constant talk of WWII with Billy.
