This is from the Commitments. It was about working class Irish kids that wanted to be known as the best soul band in Ireland. The driving force, Jimmy Rabbitte had placed a newspaper ad for a trumpet player. Believing it was a message from God, this, rather disheveled and spaced out guy sputters up to Jimmy’s house on a motorcycle, letting the bike fall to the ground as he gets off. Jimmy’s father answers the door.
After the guy, who turns out to be brilliant horn player leaves, this was the conversation between Jimmy and his father…
Jimmy Rabbitte, Sr.: What did Evel Knievel want?
Jimmy Rabbitte: God sent him.
Jimmy Rabbitte, Sr.: What?
Jimmy Rabbitte: God sent him.

H.I.: Yes, sir.

Raising Arizona
From Mike Leigh’s Naked: “Was I bored? No, I wasn’t fuckin’ bored. I’m never bored. That’s the trouble with everybody – you’re all so bored. You’ve had nature explained to you and you’re bored with it, you’ve had the living body explained to you and you’re bored with it, you’ve had the universe explained to you and you’re bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them, and it doesn’t matter how tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it’s new as long as it’s new as long as it flashes and fuckin’ bleeps in forty fuckin’ different colors. So whatever else you can say about me, I’m not fuckin’ bored.”
