What's your specialty?

Tweet

I was watching a movie several years ago and it was about a lady robot that had been built. It was a military project. But something went wrong and the robot's wires got crossed. So they had to call in a "specialist" to hunt down this crazy commando female robot that was roaming the street of America and either destroy it or deactivate at in order to bring it in for repairs. Got the plot? OK well if you understand the plot then you'll appreciate the dialogue in this particular scene. So this guy is a specialist. The best in his field and he's been called in to use his military skills to catch the robot. He meets with the lady who invented the robot to discuss the assignment. She tells him her specialty is … uuhh .... I don't know! … whatever special knowledge and skills a person is supposed to have who knows how to build a robot. She's the best! So, in turn, she asks the guy: “And what's your specialty?” Well after listening to her bragging about her education, skills, etc., he responds: “Uuhh … my specialty is a spinach lasagna.” I cracked up! Right! You're going to need that skill to catch that crazy robot! What's he going to do? Approach the robot and invite her to dinner? But that got me thinking: ~ How would you answer that question? Do you have a specialty? I can't think of anything that I'm so good at I could call it my specialty. I'm one of those “jack of all trades and master of nothing” types. I can't remember the name of the movie. But I did find a recipe for spinach lasagna, if you're interested.
