> [@LeeshaJoy](#): > > Who else was introduced to some of their now-favorite musicians through this movie? Me, I had never heard of Allison Krauss or Chris Thomas King until I picked up the soundtrack album. I had heard of Allison Krauss, but wasn’t very familiar with her (I think I could name one song she did). After the movie, she and Union Station came through the area, and recorded a live album and DVD at a local venue, over the course of two nights. I was lucky enough to be able to sit in on the first night for free. Fantastic. Probably the most technically amazing concert I’ve ever seen. ---

Delmar had all the best lines in the movie. Hoo dogies! I especially liked when Everett admitted there was no treasure and Pete was seething because with the timed added to his prison term would make him 84 years old when he was released. Delmar takes a moment to work it out and then says with a bright smile, “Well I’ll only be 82!” ---

\*\* Pete on the topic of what he’d do with $400,000:\*\* Go out west somewhere. Open a fine restaurant. I’m gonna be the maitre d’. Greet all the swells. Go to work everyday in a bow tie, tuxedo. And all the staff say “Yes, sir” and “No, sir” and “in a jiffy, Pete.” And all my meals for free. It took several watchings (on CMT a year or so ago) to convince me, but I think OBWAT is the Coen’s best and the best movie of that decade (2000s). ---

Funny you should say that. This thread has me wondering if we (Dopers) took it from the top could we, without looking anything up, recreate this or any entire film line by line.
