- Jeremy Jones: [having just made love for the first time] What are you thinking about?
- Susan Rollins: Nothing really.
- Jeremy Jones: Is anything wrong?
- Susan Rollins: No. I'm just wispy.
- Jeremy Jones: Wispy? What's that?
- Susan Rollins: I don't know. It's a happy kind of... quiet... something like that.
- Jeremy Jones: Are ya happy?
- Susan Rollins: Yes. Are you?
- Jeremy Jones: Yeah. Yeah, I'm kind of - wispy.
- Susan Rollins: Don't make fun.
- Jeremy's father: What do you think would happen if everyone in this world tried to do two things at the same time?
- Jeremy Jones: I know who I'd like to be. I'd like to be a great musician. Music is the only time I feel like I'm me, you know, not like my parents little boy or some kid going to school. I mean, I feel like a whole person. You understand?
- Jeremy Jones: You know, it's funny. My dad used to be the same as me when he was a kid. He loved horses. He did the same job I used to do.
- Susan Rollins: Yeah?
- Jeremy Jones: Yeah. But now... Now he doesn't have time for that kind of stuff. He's too busy.
- Jeremy's father: Jeremy, I got where I am in my job by working hard and by concentrating, and you have to do the same. You have to concentrate, too.
- Jeremy Jones: But, Dad, I get straight A's, except for one B.
- Jeremy's father: [sighs] That's beside the point.
- Susan Rollins: It's hard making friends.
- Susan's father: It's something you just have to work at, like everything else in life, you know?
