Quotes Needed

[KARYN LYNN]

Regarding "There goes a waste of a pretty good white boy," I think the
first place I heard it was in reference to Steve Martin in "The Jerk" but
I'm not sure.

[Stephen L. Peters]

From Savage Steve Holland's _Better Off Dead_ (with John Cusack):

"It's a damn shame when people be throwing away a perfectly
good white boy like that"

Hope this helped :-)

I think the quote is more like (but not quite) "..Folks be throwin' away
a perfectly good white boy". As two garbage men saw John Cusak? go by in
a dump truck. Was the movie "Better Off Dead"?

I think "Men At Work" also rips off this quote...

You're close on the quote. I've already posted the correct version.
But the observers were tree trimmers, not garbage men.

Doesn't anyone read the credits? :)
