I'm looking for something, baby
Something that you have got
I'm looking for something, baby
And it's gonna be
Real hot!

[MARTY:] You're gonna pay for this!

You were supposed to go on second.

[DEENA JONES:] Oh, sir, but our train was late!

CURTIS TAYLOR, JR.: Hey Earl, Earl...why don't you give her a break,
this lady came all the way from Chicago.

[ANNOUNCER:] Oh...all right, all right. I'll put you on last...after Tiny Joe Dixon.
