Nerves Before a College Performance
Sal Amato Hey, Wordman, this shindig tonight. How are we suppose to dress?
Frank Ridgeway Hey, wait a minute. What is the big deal? We've played at colleges before.
Eddie Wilson Yeah, sure, we played at "St. Something" down in Delaware and "Fairly Ridiculous" up in Madison, but we ain't never played at no finishing school like this. This is a mistake, we don't belong here. These people are different.
Frank Ridgeway I'm telling you they're gonna eat us up. They're just a bunch of college kids, no better than you...
Eddie Wilson Hey! I didn't say better, I said different. You oughta remember that.

Striving for Greatness Amidst Doubt and Disagreement
Doc Robbins Are you crazy? We had the money in our hands and you blew it. You blew it!
[to Eddie; Eddie pushes him far back]
Sal Amato Eddie, you're wrong! You're wrong! Now listen to me, I love you. I've known you longer than anyone else. But you're wrong. They want "On the Dark Side"! Why are we giving them some damn opera? I don't even know what you're after!
Eddie Wilson I want something great. I want something that nobody's ever done before!
Sal Amato Why? We ain't great. We're just some guys from Jersey.
Eddie Wilson If you can't be great, than there's no sense in ever playing music again, Sal.
Sal Amato Blame this on you. It was you! We were doing good till you came along. And you got us all screwed up!

Missing Tapes and Forgotten Memories
Sal Amato You know what she really wanted to talk about? Those old tapes: "Season in Hell". She said something about them being missing, and wanted to know if I knew where they were.
[about Maggie]
Frank Ridgeway What did you tell her?
Sal Amato I told her I don't have a clue. For all I care, they could a gone down with Eddie. You understand?
Frank Ridgeway Sally, you were on those tapes too.
Sal Amato If they find those tapes, what's in it for me, huh? I just about broke my fingers trying to play that stuff.
Frank Ridgeway Well, if it must be worth money, somebody's wanting to pay for them.
Sal Amato But we ain't gonna see a dime from that. They'll find a way to screw us, they always do. Guys like you and me, they strike oil under your garden and all you get is dead tomatoes.

Disagreement Over Song Tempo
Eddie Wilson Let's get on with the music. 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4. Hold it, hold it! Wait a minute, wait a minute!
[getting ready to practice "Betty Lou's Got a New Pair of Shoes"; starts the song]
Sal Amato What the matter?
Eddie Wilson What's the matter, where you racing to, where's the fire?
Sal Amato No fire. That's the way the song was written, it goes that way: upbeat. What's the problem?
Eddie Wilson The problem is I'm just saying words. You know, you got to give me a little room so people will know what I'm singing about.
Sal Amato Hey, you lose the beat, people miss a step, we want them to dance.
Eddie Wilson Lose a beat, miss a step. What a you a moron, Sal?
Sam Amato Do you believe this guy?
Eddie Wilson Look, Sal, I like your stuff. But it just ain't what I was looking for. You understand?
Sal Amato Forget it, you had your mind made up before you ever started. So what am I knocking myself out for?
Eddie Wilson Look, I don't want to argue with you, Sal. Do you want to get another opinion on the subject?
Sal Amato No! Forget it.
Eddie Wilson Joann, what do you think?
Sal Amato What are you asking her for?
Eddie Wilson Why not ask her, she's got brain?
Sal Amato I don't know anything? She knows, huh? Everybody you bring into this band is an expert, except Sally. Sally's just a dumb guinea, right?
Eddie Wilson You dumb guinea. Hey, kid, come here.
[looking at Frank]
Frank Ridgeway Who, me?
Eddie Wilson Yeah, you, come here.
Eddie Wilson Now, you heard what we're talking about. What do you think?
Frank Ridgeway I think he's right, I think it needs a caesura.
[agreeing with Eddie]
Eddie Wilson See, my way with a caesurian.
[pointing to himself]
