To The Trees 

A saying from the 1991 movie Robin Hood. It is used now to inform people that something weird is about to go down. It is mainly used while under the influence of alcohol. The person who said it usually follows it up by doing something that cannot be comprehended by any normal human being.

Can't see the forest through the trees. 

When a person focuses too much on small detail (trees), and misses the big picture (forest).

Stressed out person on vacation: "we have to awake at 4:00am, eat breakfast at 5:00am, goto the tour at 6:00am, arrive at the park 1 hour later, buy this, see that, go here, go there... are you writing this down!"

me: "how about, I'm on vacation, I'll be resting and meet you for lunch."

me behind the other person's back: "yikes, that person Can't see the forest through the trees."
