Warren Vaché: Gil Macrae

Quotes 

• Aaron Wohl : Damn right I'm mad. I love music more than life and was given a second-rate talent, while he is handed a one in a million gift - a one in a million gift! - which he shits on!

  Gil Macrae : Can I help it if I don't wanna play? Can I help it?

• Gil Macrae : You know it's a resort: lots of girls.

  Laura Macrae : And you so dashing, playing your golden horn.

  Gil Macrae : Maybe I'll keep right on playing.

  Laura Macrae : Like you would've if you hadn't met me?

  Gil Macrae : That's not what I meant.

  Laura Macrae : Yes it is, and I'm going to tell you something: if you really think you sold your soul by going to work for my father, then why don't you look up that famous bandleader who heard you sit in at Eddie Condon's and tell him you accept his offer? If you're not serious, then drop it once and for all, because I have had it up to here!

• Gil Macrae : I tell you I'm going away for two weeks and all you have to say is, "It sounds like fun"?

  Laura Macrae : Would you prefer tears and hysterics, which outside of relieving your guilt, would accomplish nothing?

  Gil Macrae : Practical to a fault.

  Laura Macrae : That's me.
