I'd forgotten the first quote, to be honest, so the allusion (on TWO other threads!!!) was a coincidence. The second quote rang a bell. The absolute giveaway is the Elvis' birthday quote.
Some other TWI-appropriate quotes in that film: Don't let your - run you life.
The other clues where like a song whose name I couldn't quite figure out, this one made everything come together..
Between this an the other thread I say everyone come on over to Jersey I'll make popcorn and we'll have a Mr.T marathon~~ Rocky 3 and all The A team you can handle.

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

Correct, "DC Cab."
Which quote gave it away for you? (I'm just curious.)
Odd that the name came up on another thread after I'd been dropping
quotes....

Well, I didn't want to look obsessed.
I'd forgotten the first quote, to be honest, so the allusion (on TWO other threads!!!) was a coincidence. The second quote rang a bell. The absolute giveaway is the Elvis' birthday quote.

You are a pitiful b-.

I remembered
"Don't let your * run your life" and that guy's other "word of wisdom" about
being all right if you can make it thru the night without suicide,
but I thought they were too depressing.
I thought the other quotes were more memorable.
Considering I probably haven't seen the movie since the mid-80s,
I think I remembered quite a bit.
======
The scene towards the end when they shone the flood-lights at the kidnappers
and pretended to be the police had the first quote.
One driver told the driver with the bullhorn: "Yo-tell him we're Batman!"
That was my favourite line back then.
"I see Bruce Lee!" was the only clue they had to the kidnappers' location.
The thing about his Daddy's boots came up all movie (why they were too
big on him and how he made them fit, etc), and the third quote was when they
were rescuing him. Since he was, the driver jerked his steering wheel,
leaving the boots with the kidnappers.
====
One driver quit and sold souveniers on the street dressed as Uncle Sam.
The vet who used the flamethrower to light his fireplace came up a lot.
His immediate response, when he came home unexpectedly and found his wife
cheating on him, was "Where's my flamethrower?" in a calm voice. Yes, he
would have fried the guy.
His wife made the comment about the stooges to him earlier, when he decided
to invest that reward money and get decent cabs, and split it with all the
drivers. She said you could have faith in your country and some other stuff.
The Uncle Sam driver was OBSESSED with Irene Cara, and grabbed someone else's
cab when he spotted her looking for a cab.
Of course, one driver was a good ol' boy, and he wasn't going to go in on
the plan to renovate the company unless he had his one demand met-
he got Elvis' birthday off.

I thought all writers drank to excess and beat their wifes. You know one time I secretly wanted to be a writer.
