Arthur
- Wizard: Hola music lovers! While the cat's away-
- [He sees the pizza box on the ground]
- Wizard: oh. who likes pizza?
- [Arthur tries to sneak away]
- Wizard: Arthur.
- [gestures for Arthur to come here]
- Wizard: What is he?
- Backbeat: He's a damn fool!
- Wizard: What are you Arthur?
- Arthur: I'm a real piece of work, Wizard.
- Wizard: [Wizard points his switch blade at Arthur] You're on thin ice.
- Arthur: I didn't take no family money. He bought it
- [points to August]
- Arthur: [August stares at Wizard]
- Wizard: What?
- August Rush: You look crazy.
- Wizard: I am crazy! RAAAHHH!
- [August flinches]
- Wizard: [smugly] See? Come here. C'mon. NOW!
- [August walks over nervously]
- Wizard: What are you doing here?
- August Rush: I followed the music.
- Wizard: [Wizard looks at him for a second then cracks up] Where'd you get this one Arthur? Belevieu?
- Wizard: [Wizard looks at August's hands] You never played a note in your life. You know what music is? It's God's little reminder that there's something else in this universe besides us. Harmonic connection between everything, even the stars.
- August Rush: Is this a school?
- Arthur: Yeah, the school of "Screw You and Take All Your Damn Money"!
- Backbeat: Yeah, we're top of the class!
- Wizard: NOT! It's a business. POCKETS!
- Arthur: [August puts a dollar in Arthur's guitar case] Okay citizen, you paid, any requests?
- August Rush: No.
- Arthur: Alrighty then!
- Arthur: What?
- August Rush: I don't have a place to stay
- Arthur: Do I look like a real estate tycoon to you?
- [August shrugs]
- Arthur: How many dead presidents you got?
- [August looks at him blankly]
- Arthur: Nuggets? Shorts? Show me the money!
- [August takes out a wad of cash]
- Arthur: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- August Rush: No, I'm thinking something else
- Arthur: [talking to August] Naw, I ain't got no family. My pops was a drunk. My mom, she ran off with this crackhead named Lil' Jesus. But he wasn't no Lil' Jesus, you know what I'm saying?
- Roller Bull: You better hurry before Wizard shows. He'll be pissed when he sees you bought a pie!
- Arthur: I didn't take no family money. Citizen bought it.
