    I think it was fastest. You can google American Grafitti quotes and get lots of results.

    I'm going to second "bitchinist." It's also been a while since I've seen it. Check IMDB.com

    It was bitchinest. But he also told Falfa it was the fastest...

    If you google "American Graffiti script," you can find the complete script to the movie, 110 pages worth in a PDF file.

    here's whole line:
    TERRY
    John, I don't know what you're talking about. It was the most
    beautiful thing I've ever seen. That guy, he might as well get a
    wheelchair and roll himself home. Man, you got...you got the
    bitchinist car in the Valley. You'll always be number one, John.
    You're the greatest.

    It's "Yer gonna be hangin' on for mercy, once I get this sucker rollin" - he didn't include the word "dear" - it's just "hangin on for mercy".

    OK, I admit it... I've watched the movie a few times!:D

    So you lettered it wrong, get a bottle of Old Harper and drink the Blues away. At least it wasn't a tatoo :eek:

    " Some enchanted evening, you will meet a stranger, you will meet a stranger. " I always thought that seemed a little out of character for Falfa.
