I should credit all the sites that I found these on, but being a poor archaeologist I didn't keep records.  I've been collecting them for a while so they're just there on my hard drive.  A whole bunch came from BombedOut.   The Liverpool Band Posters group on Facebook was another major resource, as was the Erics77 facebook group.  Google helped.  And a few of them are from my attic.

Receptionist: Does he have Alzheimer's?

David Grant: No, he just believes what people tell him.

 Have you ever seen us steal machinery before?

 I never know what you boys are up to.

 Why didn't you say it wasn't yours?

 I thought you wanted it

 I never knew the son of a bitch even wanted to be a millionaire! He should have thought about that years ago and worked for it!

 Why do you want meatloaf if it isn't even on the dinner menu?

 I can give you a free gift. Would you like a hat or a seat cushion?

 Of course they're my teeth. Don't be a moron.

 I'll take a hat

 David Grant: So, what do you think, dad?

Woody Grant: It doesn't look finished to me.

Sheriff: Hey, partner.

Sheriff: Hold on there, just a second.

Sheriff: Where are you headed, there?

Sheriff: Where are you headed up to?

Sheriff: How are you doing there, bud?

Sheriff: Huh? Are you okay?

Sheriff: Where are you headed?

Sheriff: You headed down the road, there, huh?

Sheriff: (grunts)

Sheriff: Huh?

Sheriff: Where are you coming from?

Woody Grant: Yeah?

words from Nebraska (2013)

Nebraska too

I was looking at the black and white world

It seemed so exciting

It's a freeze-frame still, it's real life

The world is black, the world is white

Their robes were black, Their heads were white,

The schoolhouse doors were closed so tight,
Nine judges all set down their names,
To end the years and years of shame.

no one ever mentions the past

woah, woah, woah, all you true believers

there are no rules for dreams

show of strength

your golden smile would shame a politician
