Excellent film, I need to watch it again soon. If only for this scene...
Receptionist: Welcome to Marathon... May I help you?
Neal: Yes.
Receptionist: How may I help you?
Neal: You can start by wiping the fucking dumb ass smile off your rosey fucking cheeks - and then you can get me a fucking automobile. A fucking Datsun, a fucking Toyota, a fucking Mustang, a fucking Buick... four fucking wheels and a seat.
Receptionist: I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.
Neal: And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking nowhere with fucking keys to a fucking car that isn't fucking there. And I really didn't care to fucking walk down a fucking highway and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile at my fucking face. I want a fucking car... right... fucking... NOW!
Receptionist: May I see your rental agreement?
Neal: I threw it away.
Receptionist: Oh boy.
Neal: Oh boy what?
Receptionist: You're fucked.

"Do you feel this vehicle is safe for highway travel?"
"Yes, sir. Yes. Yes, I do."

I love this movie! The ending is great, sad but great.
"I can listen to insurance seminars for 5 hours and they'd ask me how do you do it? I'd say I've been with Del Griffith."
Del - You play with your balls a lot
Neil - I don't not play with my balls a lot.
Dell - Larry Bird doesn't do as much ball handling in a game than you do in an hour!

"What do you think the temperature is?"
"1."

You gotta finish it though...
Neil - You know what would make me happy?
Del - Another couple of balls and an extra set of fingers?

God, it doesn't matter how many times I see this movie. I still laugh out loud.
When they get into the hotel room in Witchitaw, and Steve Martin pans the room, shoots back to the one bed and the music grinds in. Then he pans to John Candy, who smiles, and the music grinds in again.

Pretty good little '80s comedy, though it lacks that feeling of greatness that something like The Blues Brothers has. That "fuck" scene is awesome, indeed.

"little 80's comedy"
That movie is every bit as funny today on my 78th viewing as it was the day it came out. And it accomplishes greatness without a single joke relating to toilets, farting, or feces. No current comedy writer can even come close to that feat.

Judd Apatow would have something to say about that.
True, there's no "fart jokes" but ball handling and sleeping with your hands inside another man's ass isn't in the same vein? I agree with you, it's a classic that I love to this day, but it's got its fair share of toilet humor in there, just not as overt.
