- Elvis Presley: Then I started to remember how much I was like that at your age.
- Johnny Wolfe: Elvis, man. What happened at the talent show - thanks. I know you did that for me.
- Elvis Presley: [Frowns] Hell no, kid. I didn't do that for you. I did that for rock and roll.
- Elvis Presley: Maybe I oughtta go back to the old way of doing things. Really rock 'em again!

- Elvis Presley: Can't afford it? Man, when I was broke I could afford to do anything I wanted!
- [Bitterly, to himself]
- Elvis Presley: Now I'm a millionaire. Can't afford to do a damned thing.
