Faye: I have wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you - kisses that I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all your color and life. I used to think that was the real you, when you smiled. But now I know you don't mean any of it. You just save it for all your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight. Lenny: Are you crazy? A man in a really nice camper wants to put our song on the radio! Gimme a pen; I'm signin', you're signin', we're all signin'! Faye: Gentleman. I'd forgotten what you fellas looked like. Lenny: He's got a very pretty girlfriend, doesn't he?
Chrissy: Is it serious, do you know?
Lenny: Very serious. I'm single!
Chrissy: What about the bass player?
Lenny: He's married! Mr. White: It is very important that you don't stink today.
Lenny Haise: Hey, I make no guarantees. Guy Patterson: You are my biggest fan. Mr. White: I don't want any of this lover's lament crap. I want something peppy, something happy, something up-tempo. I want something snappy.
Jimmy: [smiles and sings] I... I quit... I quit... I quit... Guy Patterson: When was the last time you were decently kissed? I mean, truly, truly, good and kissed? Lenny: Hey, wasn't that our fan? Mr. Patterson: Darlene, you just got promoted.
Darlene Patterson: You mean you're gonna start paying me?
Mr. Patterson: I didn't say that. Mr. White: You know, Horace was right about you, Guy; you are the smart one. Lenny is the fool, Jimmy is the... talent, and Faye is... well, now, Faye is special, isn't she? And you are the smart one. That's what I think, anyway. Mr. White: [as Lenny crunches loudly on a piece of candy] Lenny, why don't you go and see if you can visit the cockpit? Tell them it's your birthday. Go! Go! Go! Jimmy: No, look - the Oneders, Lenny.
Lenny: Yeah, it looks like the O'Needers.
Jimmy: No, the - the Oneders.
Lenny: Got it, looks like the O'Needers. | |
