In "I'm Not There" was this line a reference to the Bob Dylan song?

To those have seen the movie, when Dylan (Well, Jude Quinn is the name of the character) and the crew are riding in the car down the street and Allen Ginsberg pulls alongside them in his weird golf car looking vehicle, When Ginsberg leaves one of Dylan's (Or Quinn's) friends, I believe his name is Sonny (Or Sunny not too sure how to spell it) says "See you later Allen Ginsberg" Is that a reference to the Bob Dylan song from the Basement Tapes? I always thought it was, but was never really sure. I know the question is kind of dumb, but I have been thinking about it for a while now and figured I would ask.

    You're right, it's from the Basement Tapes.

    "See You Later Allen Ginsberg – Take 1" (:45): variations on “See You Later, Alligator". The title is coined by one of the members of The Band at the beginning of first take, causing Dylan to laugh. Years later Robbie Robertson referred to some of these sessions as "reefer run amok." The first take ends abruptly, with Dylan giving instructions to erase the take.

    "See You Later Allen Ginsberg – Take 2" (:50): The second take of this play on words, begins immediately after the first take.
