I want it in writing

KEVIN EDO: Don't take that the wrong way, Gordon, I just--
GORDON CRANWICK: Excuse me?! I can't believe-- I want that in writing, Kevin.

KEVIN EDO: Come on, look--
GORDON CRANWICK: No, here: "I, Kevin Edo, state that Gordon Cranwick's songwriting lacks heart." Sign it!

KEVIN EDO: (sigh) I'm not signing this, Gordon, when, when....

KEVIN EDO: You know, it's not so much "heart" as it is "emotion."
GORDON CRANWICK: Make whatever changes you like! I'll initial them!

Never took guitar lessons

JOHN: You ever take guitar lessons?
DAN: Nah, dude. Well... I was going to once....

JOHN: Yeah?
DAN: Yeah, but the night before I was up really late and this show about Keith Richards was on.

DAN: He talked about how rock is just in you, or it isn't. And you can't force it, it's just nature... it really make me think....

DAN: Anyway, I slept through the lesson and my mom said she wouldn't pay for any more.
JOHN: Man, your mom is a Grade A jerk, dude.

First time at North 6th

JOHN: Wow... our first show at North 6th! Man, this rules.
DAN: Hey look! Someone's scalping tickets!

JOHN: Hey man, how much are these going for?
BEN: I dunno, at this point, I guess like $3 each.

BEN: They're been kinda hard to unload. People just don't wanna pay to see one good band and one crappy little local band.

JOHN: Hey... we are that crappy little local band, man.
BEN: OK... well, I could knock it down to $4 for both, but that's about it...

Food Service

GREG: So who are we seeing tonight?
BRETT: The band's called "Underbelly". You know them. They're the guys who work at the Panera bread on Franklin.

GREG: OK, right.
BRETT: And then I'd like to get to Ninth Street to see "Dangerlouse".

GREG: Those're the guys who work at Pepper's pizza?
BRETT: No that's "Tagliaboo". These're the guys from Burrito Bunker.

GREG: Man, this town has such an amazing music scene....
BRETT: Yes, and a thriving food service industry.

Accept your groupie-ness

REYNOLDS: Ted. Admit it. You're a groupie for the Spinster Whores.
TED: I am not, dude! I'm just dating Karen, so... so I help out some...

REYNOLDS: Yeah, "dating". And before that you were "dating" Joanna... and before that, Cindy.
TED: So what?!

TED: We were in love! Each time! And I'm sorry if my love threatens you so much you have to call me a... a "groupie".

REYNOLDS: Dude, you run their damn merch stand for them...
TED: I am just helping!!!

No support in the community

JOHN: Well... yeah....

JOHN: ...but all the other local bands suck, Roni.

The honest DJ

BARRY: We're coming into the top of the hour here at WHNT. And up next, we have the same 20 songs we played this morning....

BARRY: And which were played at the other 100 stations that are owned by the same conglomerate that owns us....

BARRY: In fact, you could burn a CD of these 20 songs and play it on "shuffle", and you'd accurately reflect our programming.

BARRY: But then you're miss me.... I'm Barry, the Honest DJ, back after this....
STEPHEN: Give 'em hell, Barry....
