Δίκιο έχεις· απλώς αυτό το βλέπω λίγο περισσότερο σαν χαρακτηριστικό (υπναράς ο [ipnarás] O1 θηλ. υπναρού [ipnarú] O37 : αυτός που αγαπάει υπερβολικά τον ύπνο και που θέλει να κοιμάται πολλές ώρες. [ύπν(ος) -αράς· υπναρ(άς) -ού]) ή σαν συνήθεια, όχι τόσο σαν κάτι στιγμιαίο. Το λέμε συχνά βέβαια και για το στιγμιαίο, και στο πρώτο παράδειγμα ταιριάζει ασφαλώς, όπως και να το δεις: Ποιος είναι ο υπναρούλης;

You can say that again!
I'm a clarinet player in 1973, I go into the hospital for a lousy operation, I wake up 200 years later and I'm Flash Gordon!
Look, you gotta be kidding. I wanna go back to sleep! If I don't get at least 600 years, I'm grouchy all day.
Miles Monroe, The Sleeper*, (Ο υπναράς), 1973~2173~...


Luna Schlosser: It's hard to believe that you haven't had sex for 200 years.
Miles Monroe: 204, if you count my marriage.
I haven't seen my analyst in 200 years. He was a strict Freudian. If I'd been going all this time, I'd probably almost be cured by now.
Anyway, I don't know what the hell I'm doing here. I'm 237 years old, I should be collecting social security.


*The film contains several plot points which parody or spoof several well-known works of science-fiction, most notably H. G. Wells's The Sleeper Awakes and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. Another direct homage/parody is the use of actor Douglas Rain (best known as the voice of the HAL-9000 computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey) to voice the evil computer in Sleeper.
But Sleeper is mainly a comedic tribute to the genius of two comedians whom Woody Allen deeply admires: Benny Hill (slapstick comedy, raucous music, sped-up motion scenes), and Bob Hope (one-liner comic delivery).
