      Alex Davis: So...

      [Turns attention towards Hank]

      Alex Davis: It wasn't Herbie that whipped out to that secluded spot, locked the doors and all that, it was you, trying to get me alone!

      Hank Cooper: Me? No... It was the car...

      Jim Douglas: [laughing] Herbie did that to me too. It's how I met my wife.

    Bruce Campbell saves this flick
    Love Bug 1997 was fun to watch and I laughed at a lot of it, but mostly Bruce Campbell's humor (either written by him or ad lib). I loved the evil bug and wish I owned one. It looked like it was fun to make, and since it's about Herbie, you can't focus too much on things that couldn't really happen (like a car still functioning after being cut in half).
