Sun-baked Siberia
"When the history of this sun-baked Siberia is written, these shameful words will live in infamy -- 'No chopped chicken livers!'. No garlic pickles. No Lindy's. No Madison Square Garden. No Yogi Berra. You know what's wrong with New Mexico, Mr. Wendell? Too much outdoors. Give me those eight spindly trees in front of Rockefeller Center any day. That's enough 'outdoors' for me. No subways smelling sweet and sour. What do you do for noise around here? No beautiful roar of eight million ants -- fighting, cursing, loving. No shows, no South Pacific. No chic little dames across a crowded bar. And worst of all, Herbie -- no 80th floor to jump from when you feel like it!"

Caught it on Turner Classic Movies last month. Spielberg talked about it influencing Sugarland Express on his TCM doc this week.
Now if we could get ferris wheels in Iraq......

What a great speech, they really don't write them like that anymore. Bet there aren't things crashing into each other or being blown up either.
