Wonder - Did Matthew McConaughey lift his "All right, all right, all right" from The Rockford Files?


There is a scene in The next to the last episode of Season Five of The Rockford Files where James Garner goes, "All right, all right, all right" and it is enunciated the same way as McConaughey does in Dazed.

On top of that, in an even earlier episode, Garner says it before this one but he may have only said "all right" twice.

Matty says he got it from The Doors:

I don't know. He might say it, but how James Garner says it and Jim Morrison does are quite different.....

Thanks for the clip and references...
