I DON'T GET IT.

I DON'T GET IT. REALLY.

Remember the movie, BIG, which starred Tom Hanks and Elizabeth Perkins? Here's the film's summary taken from IMDB.

" A young boy named Josh Baskin (Hanks) , made a wish one day from an old machine to be big, despite the fact that he does not believe it is going to work. He is very surprised, therefore, to find himself in the next day- big. Now he looks like a 30 year old guy, but he still behaves like a twelve year old boy. He decides to go with his best friend to New York, to find the machine that can fix his wish. In New York he gets a job in a toy company, and develops a relationship. Currently, he must learn to get used to the adult's world he always wanted to be part of. Would he still like to remain an adult? "

In one scene, Josh (Hanks) attends a meeting with the big guys wherein his rival for Perkins, presented a new concept for a toy and Hanks kept raising his hand and kept asking: I DON’T GET IT. I DON’T GET IT.
