• Kaminski : [Roy Black is in the hospital on the way to an operation and wants to put on his sunglasses]  This is not the time for looking like a star, Mr. Black

  Roy Black : Please! I don't want to see all this.

• Roy Black : You don't get a second chance that often.

• Bertram : [after Roy Black didn't showed up at a meeting with Brian Epstein cause of a date with his first love Nadine]  You let the manager of the Beatles down cause of some hippie-bitch. And you let you international music career flow, just like that. I think, you still don't understand

  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

• Roy Black : [acting pilot Chris on the set of "Wenn du bei mir bist"]  Swear to me, that you will never leave me.

  Zienia Merton : [acting princess Tamani in the movie "Wenn du bei mir bist"]  I can't stay with you. My father has promised me to the prince Kurikan. I will forget you, Roy.

  Franz Josef Gottlieb : Cut, goddamn. You supposed to say "NEVER forget you". It's the 5th. tape. And by the way, Roy's name is Chris. Goddamn.

• 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.

• Roy Black : [to his bandmates, after visiting Betrams recording studio first time]  He through, you can do with that provicial everything he wants. But he's wrong.

• Radio station host : 'Schön ist es auf der Welt zu sein'

  [it means 'It's nice to be in the world']

  Roy Black : Thank you.

  Radio station host : First of all the question of all: Is it true, that Germany's most desirable bachelor is going to marry?

  Roy Black : No, it's not. I found out about my marriage plans from the newspaper.

  Radio station host : It's just a rumour?

  Roy Black : Yes, I don't have any marriage plans. I mean, first I need the right one.

  Radio station host : That's a good advice. Dear future mothers-in-law, if you have a nice daughter, maybe yours is the right one for Roy Black.

  Roy Black : So, what am I?

• Roy Black : [drunk after a failed concert on the way home]  Burda, can I ask you something, but really serious?

  Burda : Yes.

  Roy Black : What do you really think of me?

  Burda : Really?

  Roy Black : Yes, really.

  Burda : You're an asshole.

  Roy Black : How do you mean that?

  Burda : You're an asshole, that's how I mean it.

  Roy Black : But why?

  Burda : First: everytime you want my advice on your problems and you do what you want anyway. Second: you ruined my career as a musician. Third:...

  Roy Black : [interrupts]  So why don't you jsut find another band? I don't put stones in your way.

  Burda : Because I'm as same asshole as you are.

• Nadine : Gerd, I almost didn't recognized you with so noble clothes.

  Roy Black : Well, I'm a a business trip.

• Roy Black : [meets Bertram on the way home after a performance and a date]  I'm sorry, I completely forgot you.

  Bertram : Oh boy, I have to force you to your luck. I want to do a record with you and before it's not clear I don't go home.

  Roy Black : Yes, I know, you produce Drafi Deutscher and Freddy Quinn but I have to talk with my bandmates about it.

  Bertram : There is nothing to talk about. Today's your lucky day. I smell it, that you have the stuff to become a great one. Records, television performances, I'm gonna make a star out of you. Or are you going to do music is these dives your entire life? So, here are 2 tickets and 200 marks and on tuesday, you're in Cologne in my studio. Any questions?

• Roy Black : [coming on an empty press conference]  Where are they all?

  Bertram : It's all over.

  Roy Black : What?

  Bertram : You understood correctly, it's all over and away.

  Roy Black : How about I'm getting married? It would be the media event of the year: ''Germanys most popular bachelor gets married''. Isn't it anything?

  Bertram : You still seem not to understand: It is over.

  Roy Black : What does it mean now?

  Bertram : That means that you can do whatever you want. From now on, I'm not you manager

  Roy Black : But why?

  Bertram : Why don't you ask Mr. Epstein?

• Roy Black : [on the stage in from of a unfrequented concert]  Thank you. We don't missread the date, do we? Or are we in the wrong city? It's Cuxhafen, isn't it?

  [audience cheers] 

• Roy Black : Mr. Kaminsky, let me tell you something: As my manager, you can be a little more relaxed, we're in the Showbizz, not in the tax office

• Roy Black : [in Bertrams record studio after reading the lyrics of "Du bist nicht allein"]  I don't want to sing this song

  Bertram : Now, wait a minute. What does it mean?

  Roy Black : No. I'm a rock'n roller. And I also want to play with "The canons".

  Bertram : What do you think, we do? We can't just cancel all this and finish. It's impossible. And by the way: Didn't I gave you 300 marks?

• Roy Black : [giving autographs after a birthday concert]  Did you like it?

  Kaminski : To be honest, Herr Black, if I had organized this concert, at least you would have a dry towel now.

• Roy Black : [the band interrupted playing "Paint it black"]  Why did you stopped? Come on, keep playing, keep playing.

  Burda : Why don't we do music like this or something similar? You got nothing to lose: Your records are not selling at all, the audience is empty and if others can do it, you can do it better. Gerd, you became multiple millionaire with that Schnulze-shit. You don't have to sing that stuff any more. And by the way, I know that you fed up of Roy Black. Surrender now, there is no other day later.

• Kaminski : The important thing is, that you'Re coming up again. It's very important for all of us. Herr Black, the television invited you to a show "Schlager or the 60s and the 70s". They demand Roy Black! Roy, I always knew it. Not we're rising again. I knew it. Roy, it's going up again.

  Roy Black : Well, it can't go down any more, right?

• Silke : [It's christmas time and Roy is calling Silke in the middle of the night, Silke is awake now]  Hello?

  Roy Black : Oh, hi there. It's me. Ehm, my buddies here and me...

  Silke : Do you know what time it is?

  Roy Black : So what? It's 3 o'clock. We wanted to wish you a merry christmas and I...

  [Silke's hanging up] 

  Roy Black : Hello?

• Roy Black : [Roy comes home from a trip, saying to his mother and brother Walter]  Guess what, they've played my song on the radio twice.

  Roy Black : Thrice. It's unbelievable.

  Frau Hoellerich : What do you mean "thrice"? They play it day and night, all the time. Even on the camping

• Bertram : This is our new hope, Roy Black.

  Studio technician : Roy Black? How anybody can come up with that name=

  Bertram : In Augspurg everybody calls him "Blacky" cause of the hair and Roy is from his idol Roy Orbison.

  Studio technician : I see. And what's his real name?

  Roy Black : Roy Black.

• Bertram : [interrupting a record]  How dare you?

  Roy Black : Sorry, I am not feeling well.

  Bertram : [showing Roy the newspaper headline about his meeting with Silke]  Do you want to destroy everything I built up? Have you forgotten that 98% of your fans are women?

  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.
