Eddie: You know, last year before I met your cousin, I never know you were from Hungary or Budapest or any of those places.
Willie: So what?
Eddie: I thought you were an American.
Willie: Hey, I'm as American as you are.
[Silence. They begin driving into Cleveland]
Eddie: Does Cleveland look a little like, uh, Budapest?
Willie: Eddie, shut up.
What was it Ebert said about this flick..?
"it makes a mountain out of a molehill, and succeeds".
I really like this flick and consider it a classic
although i can't stand the movies by directors by Smith and Linklater who've attempted to ape Jarmusch but completely missed the point
it's tied with Down By Law as my favorite Jarmusch movie
rather good John Lurie soundtrack too.
Here's a Jarmusch/New York punk connected fact :
Rockets Redglare, who was a close friend of Jarmusch and in his first 3 flicks and parlayed with the most hardcore punk junkies like Dee Dee Ramone, Johnny Thunders, Richard Hell et al back in the late seventies was also a scoring buddy with Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen when they lived in NYC after the Sex Pistols split, was actually with them when Nancy was found dead and has always claimed she was killed, not by Sid, but by L.E.S smack dealers when she couldn't pay them the money she owed them.

My second favorite Jarmusch film and one of my top 20 favorite movies of all times!
I met Jarmusch once, we talked about Wu-Tang Clan.
He's from Ohio
