I'm not saying this isn't true but it's worth noting that these five words are not in the song nytimes.com/2021/02/26/art…

"Greed is good" "Play it again, Sam" Many examples of smoothed over quotes but usually to make them work out of context. This is different. Correct but quirky grammar replaced just bc the wrong construction is more familiar

It's a bit similar to "Life is like a box of chocolates" (instead of "was") but there's more reason to change that to apply to situations outside the film. There's no real life reason to ever say "it was Agatha all along" so the fix is purely because we're not used to "it's been"

"It was one week since you looked at me"
