I should stop doing long quotes of Dylan before I get sued...

Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do.
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And I've waited all day long
For tonight when I'll be staying here with you.
Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive.
You cast your spell and I went under,
I find it so difficult to leave.
I can hear that whistle blowin',
I see that stationmaster, too,
If there's a poor boy on the street,
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
-Bob

Gots to love the Bob. Happy pre-emptive Thanksgiving. A couple days "off" which means I'm busy doing things I'm not getting paid for--which seem to coincide with my sleep schedule being messed with. Whee.

Anyway, apparently in the long line of horrible "100 Greatest" film specials, they're doing the 100 Greatest film quotes. Among the horrid choices are:

Excellent!
--Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

Forget about it.
--Donnie Brasco

Mama says, “Stupid is as stupid does.”
--Forrest Gump

Show me the money!
--Jerry Maguire

Yo, Adrian!
--Rocky

I'm king of the world!
--Ti-freakin-tanic

Here are some from the list that are good... (keep in mind pretty much any Woody Allen or Marx Bros quote deserves to be listed, but for brevity's sake...)

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.
--Animal Crackers

Don't knock masturbation. It's sex with someone I love.
--Annie Hall

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
--Apocolypse Now!

We're on a mission from God.
--The Blues Brothers

What we've got here is failure to communicate.
--Cool Hand Luke

Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!
--The Day the Earth Stood Still

Yippie-ki-yay, motherfucker!
--Die Hard

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
--Dr Strangelove (etc etc)

What an excellent day for an exorcism.
--The Exorcist

What is your major malfunction?
--Full Metal Jacket


Well, I've wrestled with reality for thirtyfive years, Doctor, and I’m happy to state I finally won out over it.
--Harvey

Can you dig it?
--Superfly

These go to eleven.
--This is Spinal Tap

Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave. I'm afraid.
--2001

And of course, the Joe-Mammy.com partial list of great quotes that apparently aren't good enough to be better than "I'm king of the world"... stupid list people...

Well hello Mr. Fancy pants. I got news for you, you ain't leadin' but two things right now: jack and shit. And jack left town.
--Army of Darkness

It's a penis stretcher. Would you like to try it?
--Real Genius

I've killed women and children. I've killed everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you done to Ned.
--Unforgiven

Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a man who stood up.
--Taxi Driver

...I am convinced that I can walk through walls. Not just me, anyone. Cops. People. People in Nashville...
--The Ninth Configuration

Tis all for me...
-Joe
