Are there any rabid "Wild at Heart" fans out there who've memorized vast
portions of the movie, from repeated viewings?  If so, perhaps you can help me.
I'm thinking about putting together a new .signature, and I really like
the line in the movie where Nicholas Cage says something to the effect
of "You boys have a lot of the same energy that 'E' had...", obviously
in reference to The King.  Well, my own version of Taking Care of Business
is to quote that line *precisely*, and I simply can't remember the exact 
wording.  Ultimately, the exact wording isn't THAT important, but it would
be nice, if nothing else, to avoid the inevitable corrections that I would
get if I screwed it up.  So, save me the embarassment and post or email 
if you know the *exact* quotation (I know some folks have the script, that'd
be helpful, unless Nick C. ad-libbed the sucker!).

Oh also, the part that follows about "You boys know this song?" would
be useful, for the full effect.

Thanks in advance...

suddenly a terrible pain gripped him by his stomach and seized his heart with a
strangler's grip.  'Oh no, dear dear God,' he thought.  He couldn't move.  He 
couldn't get up.  He had to get up.  He must get up...That terrible pain, like 
swords of fire, jabbing, slitting, cutting into his stomach, and especially his
liver - it was impossible to bear...Suddenly the thought flashed through him: 
this must be like what Jesus suffered."
