A dirty former police car is parked on the near side of a road. On the other side is a long wall with wire & guards on top. A gate is open and early morning sunlight shines through, silhouetting a lone figure.

Jake Blues getting out of prison, his brother Elwood waiting for him in a 1974 Dodge Monaco, formerly of the Mount Prospect Police Department.

My absolute favorite line of this film is shortly after this: "Fix the cigarette lighter".

My favourite line from Blues Brothers (forget which film) is when they are at the hick bar and they ask them what kinds of music they play here -

"We got both kinds, we got Country and Western..."

Well that and because on my 100th rewatch or whatever, I noticed that the very first thing Jake does when asking about the car is light a cigarette, and promptly throw the cigarette lighter out of the window.

I mean, what good is a car if it can't light your cigarette???
