Roy Black : Why do I need Epstein? I'm the number one, his Beatles are the number two. There is nothing better then Number one. You said that, these are your words
Bertram : Who do you think you are?
Roy Black : Me? I'm Roy Black, the one you earn your cash with.
Bertram : Well, you may think, you're Roy Black but that provicial from Augsburg, he's just playing Roy Black. Boy, you have no idea, what you're doing, not at all. But maybe it's not your fault

Bertram : 'Du bist nicht allein' was very good. But our new song is fantastic. You'll like it very much. You'll see. Boys, play the music
[the band is playing the intro of "Ganz in Weiss"]
Roy Black : [interrupts] That's such a slushy song again.
Bertram : Listen to me carefully. We play, what the people want to hear. And right now they want this from you and from the Beatles they want something different, do you understand? You're a halfkid. You can do your rock'n roll again later in your life. Let's go.

Bertram : It's all over.
Roy Black : What?

Bertram : [interrupting a record] How dare you?
Roy Black : Sorry, I am not feeling well.

Roy Black : Well, in my private life I can do whatever I want.
Bertram : Private life? You have no private life! You don't belong to one woman, you belong to all women. And if you don't get that you can go back to Augsburg playing playboy of the village.
