    It’s been almost four decades, and I only saw it once, but I have a vague memory of a line in Jim Jarmusch’s Stranger Than Paradise, where the girl yells at Turturro and the other guy, “He’s Screaming Jay Hawkins, and he’s a wild man, so shut up, you boys!”

      Found it. I can’t tell if she says “bug off” or “fuck off” but I love her delivery and how quick she was to shut that down.

      Jarmusch films are something else. I think Coffee and Cigarettes was my first.

        It’s fun to see what memory got wrong!

        Def sounds like “bug off” to me, but I live in a world of mondegreen.
