"Jenny, for your homework tonight," "I Want you to go home and write out all the lyrics to that song and then Work on them like they're an acting monologue." "Okay?"

"I mean, the only thing I gotta do is be happy." "What?" "Do you always take things this lightly?" "I Would give anything in order to stand up in front of class and sing a song and be completely in tune." "Or whiz through a monologue and have everybody laughing." "Jenny..." "And there are so many kids in this city that Would love to be going to this school." "You Wouldn't understand." "See you in class, Marco." "These are not diaries." "They're journals."

"Midnight." "Midnight?" "Only on the nights it performs." "That's what Mr. Cranston said." "Daddy, it's a big honor for a freshman to be asked to play for one of the musicals." "And it's Chicago!" "Do you realize..." "You are training to be a classical pianist." "Can you tell me how playing honky-tonk songs till all hours of the night is gonna help with that?" "It Won't, but it would be fun." "Fun!" "Something new!" "Daddy, I Want to do something different for a change." ""Something different" was never part of the deal, Denise." "You will be saying "no" or I will be pulling you out of that school." "Period." "I'm sorry." "Ma, I Was gonna tell you." "Performing Arts?" "Do you have any idea how risky that is?" "As a career?"

"Bobby." "Okay." "Kevin!" "Look out!" "Yeah?" "Master Tavares, you play with elan, brio, gusto, panache and a host of foreign adjectives that indicate excessive style." "What you neglect to do is play the music as written." "And though your interpretation may be entertaining, it is of no value in my class." "May I suggest that the only thing of value you could possibly bring to Bach is your respect." "And unless you devote yourself to study, drill and mastery of technique, you will be of little or no value to anyone." "Including yourself." "now let's try this again, as written." "Parenthetically, study, drill and technique do not stifle talent." "They free it." "Once more." "Mr. Cranston." "This music, it's boring." "It's just not my thing." "No, it's Bach's thing." "Stubby little German guy." "Wore a wig." "Yeah, and he died 1,000 years ago." "His teachers told him to stop playing music his Way." "He said no." "Really?"
