Hi all! I've always wondered what this line means, then thought why not utilise the vast knowledge of IMDB users? :-) Kip says this to Memphis when he questions how Kip got Eleanor back for him at the end...
Can anyone shed some light on this line for me? Thank you! :-)
at a guess, i'd say the pile is the wrecking yards (where they pile them up) and the chop would mean those chop-shop cars (so wrecks). to part, i guess is like parting the red sea.
so he 'waded through many wrecking yards to find that piece of sh!t'.
It’s ridiculous to critique a movie with the argument 'it's not real, so it doesn't matter'
Did he not say "I parted the chopper out for that"? That's what the subtitles said when I watched it.
sharememphis asks him is it stolen to which kip replies "no I parted the chopper for this" the chopper was the custom bike we see in bits in his house when he makes breakfast
shareBasically, for the people that don't understand what "parted" means, he sold off the pieces to people who needed them. It's worth more that way depending on the vehicle/bike.
shareHe said, "I parted the chopper out for that." A "chopper" is a motorcycle, usually a cruising bike that has been modified and stretched out, often with tall handlebars (ape hangers). "Parted out" refers to tearing something (in this case, the chopper) apart and selling the individual parts. What he is saying is that he took his bike apart and sold the parts, using the money to buy the scrapped '67 Shelby GT500.

Thanks all! Definitely not my area of expertise, I appreciate you all sharing yours! ? Thanks for explaining it to me.
