Ever seen the movie Better Off Dead? It has John Cusack in it, and as a teen who grew up in the ‘80s, I had a crush on John and watched every movie he’s ever been in and even own several of them on DVD.
Anyhow, in Better Off Dead, there’s a paper boy who’s trying to collect. John answers the door and blows him off (his girlfriend had just broken up with him, how can you blame poor John?).
The paper boy proceeds to stalk John throughout the rest of the movie, chasing him on a Huffy bike sneering, “I want my two dollars.”
Today, I’m stealing the sneer and the phrase:
FREESTYLE, I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS.
Two test strips, in a row, dead before I even inserted them in my meter. Wouldn’t take my perfectly shaped round bead of blood and give me a number. I had to go through three test strips to get the number, and I didn’t even like it. One buck per dead strip, two strips total. I want my two dollars.
As always, more to come…

LOL! That makes me laugh to think about that in the context of test strips wasted! Heh!
That's awesome! I haven't seen that movie in more than 20 years, back when it was on HBO like 5 times a day and there was only one HBO! I still love John Cusack too :)
that is a Simmons family favorite.
My favorite line, "I'm real sorry your mom's face blew up Ricky."
Brilliant.
A classic movie, and a classic line with so many uses!
we talk about Frahnch Fries and Frahnch Bread all the time :)
I thought no one but me, a John Cusack movie stalker, had heard of this movie. It's almost worth the loss of the two dollars to find out this awesome little gem is appreciated by more than just me! I'm watching this again this weekend. You guys have reminded me of too many classic lines...
Have a great day, and remember, an automobile is not a toy.
OH, I KNOW THAT MOVIE !
"Would you like some Fre-onch fries, how about some Fre-onch Dressing?!"
Me loves me some John Cusack and some classic movies!
I WANT LORA TO HAVE HER TWO DOLLARS!
