There are so many ... but I keep coming back to the one most people miss:

"They broke my watch."

You think you're a man, but you're just a boy...

Oops, wrong disco.

"... both kinds. Country and western."

 

[Emperor_Nero]

Love it. How about this one?

" So, Jake, you're out, you're free, you're rehabilitated. What's next? What's happenin'? What you gonna do? You got the money you owe us, motherfucker?"

OK ... how about:

"Nazis? I hate Illinois Nazis."

or

"I'll have four fried chickens ... and a coke."

 

[glynndah]

"Your women. How much for your women?"

"Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD."

"I knew a hooker once named Minnie Mazola"

Elwood: This is definitely Lower Wacker Drive! If my estimations are correct, we should be very close to the Honorable Richard J. Daley Plaza!
Jake: That's where they got that Picasso.
Elwood: Yep.

Have to make a point of showing it to you when you get here

Actually - I have pictures from last time.

You took pictures of lower Wacker Drive

Zoot and I spent Thursday night sight-seeing and having marvelous Greek food. I have many pictures from that.

But I was thinking of the red sculpture - what is that? I thought that was the Picasso - you also see it in Ferris Buehler's Day Off.

But that isn't the one from the Blues Brothers, I see now.

I'm confuzzled.

If it's the one I'm thinking off, that's a Miro ... the Picasso is much more impressive.

Plus there is also all the statuary on the outside of City Hall

[Emperor_Nero]

Ah ... that's by the Federal Building. It's called Flamingo and by Alexander Calder.

Picasso, the Daley Center and City Hall are at the other end of downtown, closer to the theater district

Ah - okay.

Makes more sense!

We may never make it sight-seeing this time.

There's always Thursday
