• Jo Jordan : Can I lend you some money?

  Rick Martin : Wouldn't know what to do with it.

• Jo Jordan : The way you baby that thing, you'd think that it's alive.

  Rick Martin : Well, it's awfully good company. Whatever you tell it to do, it does - only better than you told it. It never lets you down.

  Jo Jordan : You're kind of sold on it, aren't you?

  Rick Martin : Well, you got to be sold or you got not business playing the kind of music I want to play. You got to love it. You can't just like it and understand it the way the longhaired boys understand their music. You can't write it down and keep it. There aren't any notes for it. You can only hear it right while you're playing it. You feel it.

• Rick Martin : Someday when I'm really good, I'm gonna do things with this trumpet nobody's ever thought of doing. I want to hit a note that - nobody ever heard before.

  Jo Jordan : You've got to have some other interests or you'll go off your rocker. I know. You need a hobby like collecting stamps or - or a dog or...

  Rick Martin : How 'bout a girl?

  Jo Jordan : Don't pick on me Rick. You're a married man.

  Rick Martin : Married?

  Jo Jordan : You're married to that trumpet. I certainly wouldn't want to come between you.

• Jo Jordan : Oh, hello. My name is Jo Jordan. I sing in the band.

• Jo Jordan : All the baggage you really need is right here. Your trumpet.

• Jo Jordan : You're probably broke.

  Rick Martin : Probably.

  Jo Jordan : A young man with a horn. A crazy young man with a horn.

• Jo Jordan : [singing]  The point of the song is, I'm always wrong, but, With you, baby, I'm oh so right.

• Jo Jordan : Rick, what's the matter with you? Why do you live in left field all the time?

  Rick Martin : I don't know.

  Jo Jordan : If you keep on like this you're gonna live in joints and work in dives all your life.

• Jo Jordan : Amy isn't a stage-door pickup. I know her better than you do. She's a strange girl.

• Jo Jordan : Good night, you night owls.

• Jo Jordan : What are you trying to do, Rick? Kill yourself? Because you tried for something that didn't exist? That's what you've done all your life.
