1. Love that movie!

Jerry Landers: How can you permit all the suffering that goes on the world?
God: Ah, how can I permit the suffering?
Jerry Landers: Yes!
God: I don't permit the suffering. You do. Free will. All the choices are yours.
Jerry Landers: Choices? What choices?
God: You can love each other, cherish and nurture each other or you can kill each other. Incidentally, "kill" is the word. It's not "waste." If I had wanted "waste" I would have written "thou shalt not waste." You're doing some very funny things with words. You're also turning the sky into mud. I look down, I can't believe the filth. Using the rivers for toilets, poisoning my fishes. You want a miracle? *You* make a fish from scratch. You can't. You think only God can make a tree? Try coming up with a mackerel. And when the last one's gone, that'll be that. Eighty-six on the fish, goodbye sky, so long world, over and out.

2. "My last miracle was the '69 Mets."

3. Lots of funny lines, but a lot of poignant ones, too.

Miss John Denver so very much.

4. Yes, me too.

Will be kind of rough watching this, as George Burns reminds me of my father.

7. I never met him, but

he was a distant cousin to me. Weirdly, he and my father died the same way -- their ultralights crashed.

I miss Denver too. We missed out on a lifetime more of music.

8. I had the opportunity to meet him backstage after a concert

I shook his hand and talked with him for a minute. Can't remember what I said or what he said to me, because I was so nervous and excited. He had very kind brown eyes, which I will never forget.

"Court Clerk: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

God: So help me, me.

Judge Baker: So help you, you?

God: If it pleases the court, and even if it doesn't please the court, I'm God, Your Honor."
