QueeN:

Thanks for the blast from the past as it were...I
think I joined on in 2000 also, later than you though.


I didn't realize that line is in all three films.
Thanks for the reminder about Badlands! I recall in
DoH the line appears when the wine glass falls into
the river where Abby and Bill have their midnight
tryst. Bill says "I dropped my glass" and Abby says
"It doesn't matter." (Remembering that scene makes me
want to watch the film again! :)

Strange that the line appears when a bottle is spun by
Kit, and a bottle is in Bill's hands and he drops a
glass. Coincidence, don't you think?

Where does the line appear in TTRL?
