A scene from The Blues Brothers 1980
Jake

[Jake and Elwood are driving in the new Bluesmobile, a former police car]

What's this?

Elwood

What?

Jake

This car. This stupid car. Where's the Cadillac? [tries the cigarette lighter, finds it doesn't work, and throws it out the window] The Caddy, where's the Caddy?

Elwood

The what?

Jake

The Cadillac we used to have. The Bluesmobile.

Elwood

I traded it.

Jake

You traded the Bluesmobile for this?

Elwood

No, for a microphone.

Jake

A microphone? Okay, I can see that. But what the hell is this?

Elwood

This was a bargain. I picked it up at the Mount Prospect City police auction last spring. It's an old Mount Prospect police car. They were practically giving them away.

Jake

[sarcastically]

Well, thank you, pal. The day I get out of prison, my own brother picks me up in a police car.

Elwood

[Fog horn and warning bell sounds]

You don't like it?

Jake

No, I don't like it.

Jake

[Elwood jumps the car over an opening drawbridge] [impressed]

Car's got a lot of pickup.

Elwood

It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say? Is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

Jake

[lights a cigarette using his own lighter]

Fix the cigarette lighter.

Jake

[Later, Jake and Elwood arrive outside of Saint Helen of the Blessed Shroud, a Roman Catholic orphanage in which they grew up] [not surprised]

What are we doing here?

Elwood

You promised you'd visit the Penguin the day you got out.

Jake

Yeah? So, I lied to her.

Elwood

You can't lie to a nun. We gotta go in and visit the Penguin.

Jake

[annoyed]

No. ****. Way.
