Mr. White: You guys look great in black, have I told you that?
-
Mr. White: You guys look great in gold, have I told you that?
-
Mr. White: You guys look great in red, have I told you that?
-
Lenny: Where was I? Oh yeah, playing songs on my guitar.
-
Guy: Yeah, we were pretty wild, up in Eerie, Penn.
Lenny: Yeah, there was this one time, we stayed up way past midnight...
-
Villapiano: Know what this is? (shows money)
Lenny: Presidential flashcards?
Villapiano: Nope. A bonus. And do you know why?
Lenny: I have no idea.
Villapiano: To entice you back!... The word is out on you o-NEE-ders!
Lenny: Hey, that's o-NEH-ders!
-
Heckler: We came here to meet girls and dance, and we can't meet girls until we dance!
Lenny: Hey, wasn't that our fan?
-
Jimmy: Diane Dane told me never trust a label. And I'm beginning to believe her.
Lenny: Well, sure. I mean, come on. They put us up in a first class hotel, all expenses paid, while our record climbs the charts; bunch of lyin' snakes.
Jimmy: Sorry, I guess I'm just alone in my principles.
[leaves the room]
Lenny: Oh come on. Oh, there he goes off to his room to write that hit song "Alone in my principles."
-
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: I... I quit (snap snap), I quit (snap snap). I quit.
-
Lenny: I play a lot of cards. Obviously. Wanna see my deck?
[he flashes his cards]
Lenny: See? You gotta be quick! You gotta be quick with me! I'm from Erie, P.A.!
-
[during TV interview with band]
Lenny Haise: Oh, I'm not here with these fellas. I've got a pig in competition over at the livestock pavilion, and I am going to win that blue ribbon!
-
Faye: You mean actually make a record? A record record, record?
-
Lenny Haise: You see, we're not "The Wonders" right now. We're "Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters".
-
Guy Patterson: When was the last time you were decently kissed? I mean, really, honestly good and kissed?
-
Mr. White: Any questions? Don't ask. I'm tired of talking to you and I want to sleep.
Mr. White: [as Lenny chews 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!
-
[Asked whether his shades are prescription or just to look cool]
Guy: Well, I am the drummer.
-
[When Jimmy is reluctant to sign a management contract]
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'!
-
Mr. White: This "Oneders" thing, with the o-n-e, it doesn't work. It's confusing. From now on, you're just The Wonders.
Lenny: As in, I wonder what happened to the O-Needers?
-
Faye: Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight.
-
Lenny Haise: So how long have you worked at Play-tone?
Receptionist: How long have you been wearing such tight paints?
Lenny Haise: Hey, if that's a pick-up line we're a match made in heaven.
-
Guy Patterson: You are my biggest fan.
Dell Paxton: Thanks.
-
Mr. White: It is very important that you don't stink today.
Lenny Haise: Hey, I make no guarantees.
-
[after Faye has just broken up with Jimmy]
Jimmy: Shoulda dumped you in Pittsburgh! Which one of you butts said we were engaged?
Mr. White: The same person who said you had class, Jimmy.
-
Lenny Haise: You're talking gibberish!
-
Lenny: Skitch. How did we get here?
Guy: I led you here, sir, for I am Spartacus.
-
[Reading an ad from a competing megamart]
Mr. Patterson: Open Sunday twelve to six... open on Sunday from twelve to six! You know, I don't believe I want to live in a country where you stay open on Sunday to do business. You shouldn't have to work on Sunday to support your family. Honey, why don't you just put that paper up?
-
Lenny: He's got a very pretty girlfriend there, huh?
Chrissy: Is it serious, do you know?
Lenny: Very serious... I'm single!
Chrissy: [thoughtful pause] what about the bass player?
Lenny: He's married!
-
Guy: When will the records be ready?
Uncle Bob: Luke 21:19
The Bass Player (Bobby Ray): In your patience possess ye your souls.
Lenny: Luke? Who's Luke? When will the records be ready?
-
The Bass Player (Bobby Ray): Guys, Chad fell down.
-
Mr. White: [after movie gig] Good news guys. You get to keep your outfits.
-
Jimmy: That was perfect man!
The Bass Player (Bobby Ray): It took Chad a week to learn that.
Lenny: Chad? Who's Chad?
Mr. White: You guys look great in black, have I told you that?
