Jimmy that was a really tough decision!  I spent way too much time thinking about that.  I picked "Time to get going Cowboy" b/c I melt when he says that.  But I also love "Friend, that's more words...". 

Two more that I love that aren't in the poll:

1. "The Pentacost.....I don't know what the Pentacost is.  Mom never explained it to me".

2.  "Fine.  I was just thinkin' out loud" - This one is a combo of the line and his gesture when he says it - he's angry, but at the same time it is so typical of Jack's bitching that it cracks me up.

Nicole,

I love the "Fine, I was just thinkin' out loud" line too!

It's sooooooooooooo hard to pick twelve.

Tell you what.  You post a poll and pick twelve more!!!!

hehehe... just an idea...   :)

Yay, I thought I was alone in my "thinking out loud" love.  Glad to see another person loves it too.  I'll do a sequel to the poll with more Jack goodness. :)

What if you and me had a little ranch together somewhere, little cow-and-calf operation, it'd be some sweet life.

I picked the "sometimes I miss you so much" line.  It KILLS me everytime.  It was also changed from the story, and it's soooo much more powerful in the movie.  Where's my Jack to say that to me????

Love that too! As you can tell (see signature.. - it's the film version though, not the short story version).

Thank you Jimmy!

Sheesh - How is it possible that there could be two excellent Jack line polls and my favourite is missed!!!

Too obvious maybe?? ;)

It's the part of the film that I swoon:

Spooky....so now you need to modify your poll to let folks change their vote ;-)
Let me know if you have any problems ...
