Five of the sixteen quotes above come from Bogart movies. Add in Moe's, and
it's six out of seventeen, an extraordinarily high percentage, more than a
third.
The New York Times yesterday reported on a Frank Sinatra conference being held
at Hofstra University near New York. One of the papers listed was "From Sam
Spade to Tony Rome: The Bogart Influence on the Sinatra Persona." James Dean
is more often held up as the main influence on the Dylan persona, but maybe
there's a Bogart influence also? Wasn't there a big Bogart revival sometime in
the early 1960s?

Doesn't stop there either. Other Maltese Falcon/Bogart quotes (courtesy of
Michael Gray and/or John Bauldie) from Empire Burlesque include:
Don't look for me, I'll find you. (Maltese Falcon)
I don't care who loves who... maybe you love me and maybe I love you.
(Maltese Falcon)
"We want to talk to you, Spade." "Well, go ahead and talk." (Maltese Falcon)
I'll have some rotten nights after I've sent you over, but that'll pass.
(Maltese Falcon)
Think this rain would cool things off, but it don't. (Key Largo)
Didn't I take chances? (Key Largo)
There's some people that you don't forget even if you've only seen them
once. (The Big Sleep)
Of course, these are all probably just coincidences.

Not that the following has any direct Dylan involvement, but Dylan at the Edge
in Ft Lauderdale is Bogart flavored: http://www.edlis.org/j-card/ftlaud.htm
And the stamp of the formmail is also Bogart:

You couldn't turn on the tv in the early 60s on Sunday afternoon with some great
b/w movie. There was a Bogart Theater on Sunday afternoon on one of the big 3
networks--that's BC (before cable).

The line is "I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble", and yes
he got it directly from the movie (which uses verbatim dialogue
direct from the Dashiell Hammett book). Another line from the film
that was used on Empire Burlesque: "don't look for me, I'll see
you". There are others throughout the album as well. "There's some
people that you don't forget, even though you've seen them one time
or two" is very similar to a line in "The Big Sleep" ("there's some
people you don't forget, even if you've just seen them once"). "I
have to move fast, and I can't with you around my neck" is spoken
by Bogart in "Sirocco". I wouldn't be surprised to find that 99%
of the lines on the album came from film noir movies.
