• Whit : Uncle Red, don't you think you have a problem with your drinking?

  Red Stovall : Only when I can't get it.

  Whit : I mean - don't you think you might need some help with your drinking?

  Red Stovall : No, I do quite well all by myself.

• Red Stovall : Mary was right to go back to her husband. What the hell did I have to offer a kid? Just honky-tonks and flop-houses. That's the life of a country singer, Hoss. Sound good to you?

  Whit : It don't sound too hot when you put it like that, but it sure beats picking cotton and living in a sharecropper's shack.

• Henry Axle : You don't think he should be doing this, do you?

  Whit : Do you? Knowing it might kill him?

  Henry Axle : Want me to level with you, pal? He's going to die anyway, and he knows it. And he knows that this is his last chance.

  Whit : Last chance? For what?

  Henry Axle : To be somebody. Did you ever feel like you wanted to be somebody? If he makes these recordings - who knows?

• Whit : Holy shit! I'm going to Tennessee!
