My first screenplay was entitled "forevers gonna start tonight" Obviously taken from TEOTH. Without too much detail, the main character see's that written on a poster in the beginning at it sparks a change in his life.
It was, and still is one of the best one-liners Jim's written.
While I'm thinking about it "Everything I know is nothing till I give it to you" Is another favorite. It just sticks with me.
