Finding Contentment in the Present Moment
George Noodles Stone
You know it's like, I dunno you... you float out... float out at sea then one day you find a port, say, I'm gonna stay here a few days'. A few days becomes a few years. Then you forgot where you were going in the first place. Then you realize you don't really give a shit about where you was going, cause you like where you at.

Tell me something, boy. Aren't you tired trying to fill that void? Or do you need more? Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?

That's you.

Did you just write that now?
Ally
Yeah.
Jack
Pretty good. Can I tell you a secret?

Exploring Personal Connections Through Music
Jack
Could I ask you a personal question?
Ally
Okay.
Jack
Do you write songs or anything?
Ally
I don't sing my own songs.
Jack
Why?
Ally
I just don't feel comfortable.
Jack
Why wouldn't you feel comfortable?
Ally
Because like almost every single person that I've come in contact with in the music industry has told me that my nose is too big and that I won't make it.
Jack
That your nose is too big?
Ally
Yeah.
Jack
Your nose is beautiful. Are you showing me your nose right now? You don't have to show it to me. I've been looking at it all night.
Ally
Oh, come on. No, you're not.
Jack
Oh, I'm going to be thinking about your nose for a very long time.
Ally
You're full of shit.
Jack
I'm not full of shit.
Ally
Yeah, you are.
Jack
I'm telling you the truth.
Ally
Yeah, you're full of shit.

The Importance of Authentic Expression in Art
Jack
Look, talent comes everywhere. Everybody's talented, fucking everyone in this bar is talented at one thing or another. But having something to say and a way to say it so that people listen to it, that's a whole other bag. And unless you get out and you try to do it, you'll never know. That's just the truth. And there's one reason we're supposed to be here is to say something so people want to hear. Don't you understand what I'm trying to tell you?
Ally
Yeah, I do. I don't like it, but I understand it.
Jack
Oh, I think you like it a little bit.

The Essence of Music and Creativity
Bobby Maine
Jack talked about how music is essentially twelve ] between any octave. Twelve notes and the octave repeats. It's the same story told over and over, forever. All any artist can offer the world is how they see those twelve notes. That's it. He loved how you see them.

The Importance of Authenticity in Expression
Jack
If I don't say this then I'll never forgive myself.
Ally
What...
Jack
If you don't dig deep into your fuckin soul you won't have legs. I'm just telling you that. If you don't tell the truth out there you're fucked. All you got is you and what you have to say to people and they are listening right now and they are not going to be listening forever. Trust me. So you gotta grab it and you don't apologize or worry about why they're listening or how long they're gonna be listening for. You just tell them what you want to say.

The Finality of Loss
Carl
How long have you been here now?
Jack
Two months.
Carl
Can it be fixed?
Jack
Well, you would know that, don't you? Once it's gone, it's gone.
Carl
I don't know what you have.
Jack
Oh, well the tinnitus, they say, once you...
Carl
Oh, tinnitus can't be fixed.
Jack
Right. Well, I just hear that tone, that's all. The tone, yeah. The ringing.
Carl
I have hearing aids on, as you...
Jack
No, I know. That's why I asked you. You know, I'm convinced that it happened when I was younger, I used to... My dad had a Victrola, you know an old record player. My head was just about the size of it when I was a kid, and I used to love to just put my whole head in there. He was big into the blues, so... Cause you gotta figure it's just me and him all day long. My brother's out there tryin to make something of himself. So I took one of his belts. I put it around the ceiling fan and uhh, tried to do the deed. The whole fucking fan came out of the ceiling.
[pause]
Jack
Had a big cut on my fucking forehead. I was more mad about that than it not working. And he didn't even notice. He didn't even fucking notice.
Carl
Cause he was drunk?
Jack
Yeah. That fucking fan stayed on the floor for about half a year.
Carl
How old were you then?
Jack
I was just shy of 13.

What you have right now goes way beyond just this. There's people who need to hear what you have to say musically. It's not normal stuff. It's really amazing what you're doing. I think you have it all, I do. The question to you is, what do you want?

Consequences of Neglect in Relationships
Rez Gavron
We're not exactly friends here. While you've been away we've been back here in serious triage trying to clean up your fucking mess. Barely finding our way through it. You almost single-handedly derailed her whole career, do you understand that? She's never going to say this to you. She loves you too much.
