Clint Eastwood is in my hairstylist, Monisha's chair at my h"ai"r salon. Monisha has just finished cutting and styling Clint's toupee, and it looks fantastic! He pays and walks out of the salon. Monisha is waving goodbye, but to her horror, an eagle swoops down and PLUCKS the toupee off of Clint's head, and flies up to her tree to use it in her nest. Monisha is horrified, and Clint, embarrassed, quickly drives away.

My C actor is a friend named Curtis. He wants to be back in Taiwan so I'm imagining him imagining the bird plucking him up to take him to Taiwan.

Some of the other movies offered here include plucking that could be misremembered to be grabbing etc. Specifically suggestive of PLUCKING could plucking a chicken, or plucking eyebrows.

Deathly afraid of heights, Chris Rock (c-) is in the bedroom at Grand Ma Groves’s (-ai) climbing up to the top of the 15 feet tall Xmas tree (木) to put on the star. To him it feels like 1000 ft high. Once he gets up there he feels what be believes to be eagle talons (爫) PLUCK his hair and he falls to the ground.
