Quotes6

  • Marty Freed: I'll tell you what I told Tony Bennett. Sing songs people already know. That way they'll still have something to applaud.
  • Marty Freed: [Shirra is crying at the concert] What's wrong?
  • Shirra Assel: I think they're wonderful.
  • Lyle Rogers: But we're not singers, we're songwriters.
  • Marty Freed: So? The Beach Boys weren't songwriters. Anthony Newley isn't a songwriter?
  • Marty Freed: [Offering Lyle and Chuck some gig possibilities] I got good news for ya'. I think I can get you a booking. In Honduras - the hotel where the American journalists stay in Honduras. The last act left because they got nervous about the death squads. But there's no danger if you don't drive in the countryside.
  • Marty Freed: l mean, if you wanna sell songs today, you gotta have an act with jokes, patter, segues. Otherwise, frankly, you're old, you're white and you got no schtick. You got no gimmicks.
  • Marty Freed: l also can get you ten weeks in Morocco at 950 dirham a week. That's $95 in American money. Unfortunately, l can only get you airfare from the Canary lslands.
  • Chuck Clarke: Ah, l'll call you about it in the morning.
  • Lyle Rogers: Me too.
  • Marty Freed: Want me to drive you anywhere?
  • Chuck Clarke: No, thanks. l'm gonna walk around for a while. l want to do some thinking.
  • Lyle Rogers: Me too.
