I know a number of you hate Blues Brothers 2000 and want to pretend that it doesn't exist and so forth...but since the 'Favourite Quotes' topics for the first movie are so many and various, I'd like to ask those of you who can bear it what BB2000 quotes you like.

I personally like Elwood's motivational speech, as well as little bits of randomness like...
Mighty Mack: Great. They have automatic weapons. We have carpet tacks.
Elwood Blues: There not carpet tacks. They're dry wall nails.

Dunno why I find that funny, but I do.
Anyone else care to share any of their favourite quotes?

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

Yep, i like that lines too...when i feel sad i put the motivational speech...These version of Green Onions is really powerful...

[looneyanil]

And it's also nice to Elwood says the words that Jake said once;"Lord works in mysterious ways"
(RİDERS)Mack;
Howdy!!!Howdy!!!

elly; Jake's gone Curtis is gone Iave no car Ihave no life for Christ's Sake...Ouch! (penguin)
elly;Hey,The kid's a wiseass!

And the look in Elwood's face when Aretha said that you boys stay away from rouble this time!!!

[beacky278]

I've always loved it when they go see Mr. Fabulous at the funeral

Elwood: Hey Mr. Fab! What time do you want us to come back tonight and grab the rings and watches of the corpse?

[Josh_Blues]

Well I got a few( for a movie I don't really like)
1.(In Russian):They broke my watch
2.Cab:You're asking me if I wanna join your band!?(Elwood):I could show you ALL the moves(Cab):Get the hell out of my office right now!!!(Elwood):I think you need a hug.

[Blues_Sister]

Oh, sorry, I completely forgot.

Best quote/moment of randomness in the entire movie is "Get that mound of moss!" which is yelled by a police officer. Cracks me up every time and I'm not sure why.

[TOFIKsylwia]

"Get that mound of moss!" - i love it!

[ElwoodJBluesr1]

Penguin: ...Curtis had an affair, *hestiantly* with a married woman.
Elwood: *priceless look* Go Curtis.

: )

I'm trying to find the quote where the band refuses to play country music. Does anybody out there have that?

[Blues_Sister]

It's not country music, it's Carribean. I don't have my DVD at the moment, but when I do I'll type it up for you.

[Nick]

Definatly the "He broke my watch" quote mentioned above, lol.

Havn't watched BB2000 for a while. Got to catch up on it.

[krypt13]

Elwood: "Don't look back."

And of course, everyone else in the band does.

[jakeelwood]

Here's some of mine:

Bob - "Don't I know you boys from someplace?"

Elwood - "Yeah, well I guess he's(Jake) in a much better place" Notices the Jesus statue looking at him with a sad face. Elwood jumps.

Elwood - "Hey, the kid's a wiseass! -Wack- "Ow shit"

Elwood - (I think this is how it goes) "Ma'am, we're the Blues Brothers. We play blues, rythm and blues, soul, funk, rock, country, pop, rap, showtunes, and occasionally we've been called upon to do a polka. But Carribean, I'm sorry to say, is not, has not, nor will ever be a part of this band's repretoire.

Agent Peters- "Get that mound of moss!" Hysterical

Elwood - "Don't look back"

Elwood - "We've gotta get off this road. They've called ahead by now, and you can't outrun a Motorola"

Elwood - "The Lord works in mysterious ways"

That one line is something I've never agreed with. What are we supposed to call "Groove Me" on Briefcase Full of Blues? It ain't blues, rythm and blues, soul, funk, rock, country, pop, rap, showtunes, or polka. :lol:

[UncleEarl]

That quote from BB2K sounds like Dan Aykroyd's apology for the "Groove Me" arrangement. :D

[redjay02]

u know...i just relaized there were some slightly funny parts in the film which u all mentioned....however, im still glad i actualyl gave my copy of BB2000 away. lol

[Soul Man]

Yeah, never realizing it before, but those quoters are pretty funny. The ones that get me is when Mother Stigmata is wacking Elwood with the stick.

"The orphanage is gone. Jake's gone. Curtis is gone. I got no brother, I got no roots, I got nothin' for Christ's sake!"

Also when Elwood and Buster are in the car and Elwood is giving him a lesson in the word "sh*t."

Buster: Smells like dogsh*t in here.
Elwood: Don't say sh*t kid.

(Grabs what looks like a cigatette and the car cigarette lighter, out of Buster's mouth and hand, and throws them out the driver-side window)

Elwood: You don't need that sh*t kid.

[Dean Heuke]

John Popper: Mr Blues...?

[vicious]

nazi guy thing?: No don't shoot, you may hit the boat!
Elwood: what boat?

Cop: Stop that mount of mos!

Mack: Great they have automatic guns, we have carpet tacks
Elwood: They ar no carpet tacks, it are dry wall nails

Russian thug: They broke my watch!

[SprScout]

This film was too campy, cheezy, and too Disney sparkles and puppy dogs. So yeah the sister has it right that a lot of us do not like BB2000. It has dumbed down and rehashed cartoony villans and no sustainable plot to my mind. Although I will admit, the Carpet Tacks & Drywall Nails bit is a nice piece of deadpan.
