"I don't need to talk about her or look at pictures... 'cause the truth is, a lot of times, I see her... on the street. I walk down the street, I see her in someone else's face... clearer than any of the pictures you carry with you. I get that you're in pain, but you got each other. You got each other! And I'm the one who's gotta see her and the girls all the time. Everywhere I go! I even see the dog. That's how fucked up I still am! I look at a German shepherd, I see our goddamn poodle. All right... All right..."

"Nobody has a right to look that good. She's just trouble for everybody."

"Oh, bullshit! You stink like a shrink. You got shrink hands. You ordered your salad like a shrink."

"[picking up a vinyl record] Ahh Graham Nash — Songs For Beginners. Just... just the album cover alone, look at that face, he knows he made a great record."

"[being interviewed by a television news crew after chaining himself to a Marines Recruitment Facility] The reason why I'm here is because a buddy of mine who'd been in 'Nam took his own life today. This is kind of a funeral service. And I'm here because I'm trying to tell people, man, if we want to commit suicide, we have plenty of reasons to do it right here at home. We don't have to go to Vietnam to find reasons to kill ourselves. I just don't think we should be over there."

"[to Sally] You know, I spend 95% of the time at the hospital thinking of making love with you."

"I have killed for my country, or whatever, and I don't feel good about it. 'Cause there's not enough reason, man, to feel a person die in your hands, or to see your best buddy get blown away."

"The voice. The passion. The confidence."

"In the era of cool, he was the soundtrack."

"I wanna do a song that has been specially written for tonight. [Dick Behrke begins playing the piano] Its uh, lyrics have been changed. It was an old Bob Hope number actually. But we'd like to do it for you tonight as our way of closing and saying good night. [jokingly] As soon as Richie's finished with that thing he's composing over there. [Richie and the audience laugh] It goes something like this... [begins singing "The Curtain Falls"]"

"I may not be uh... performing for a while, I'm gonna take a little break. And as a result, I may not get a chance to publicly do something that I wanted to do for a very long time. And that is to... introduce to you... the woman who raised me. My mother, Nina Cassotto Maffia."

"[voice over] So I did stay at home for a while, the nineteen sixties rushed by like a locomotive, while Dodd grew up like a moose. Sandy and I made a couple of movies together, but they were all dogs. The music scene was changing as dramatically as the country. Nightclubs were out and big venues like stadiums were in. I was suddenly irrelevant, my stage literally disappearing. I tried to write new music and got involved in politics because we were now a country at war. But the fact was I was a balding chart singer who hadn't had a hit in years and who should be dead."

"May I have this dance, Miss Sandra Dee?"

"[to Sandra Dee] You know, I was right about you. You're gonna be easy to love."

"[voice over] Sandy and I just got off on the wrong foot. If I could just get her away from her mother. I mean just imagine: Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee. That's it. I'm gonna start all over, like we've never met. Only this time, I'll romance her the best way I know."

"Let's go make movies!"

"[voice over] So I had a hot head, a weak heart and even a worse stage name. Walden Robert Cassotto isn't exactly a name you can see in a marquee. Well, maybe for one night only and one of the things that most performers were doing back then was to find a great stage name and then one day, I saw it, the perfect name. Just blinking, Darin. Darin. Bobby Darin. And no sooner did I change my name and I got my first gig on television. Unfortunately, I didn't know the lyrics to the song I decided to sing, so I had to devise my own method to get through it on live television. Didn't win me many fans. But it didn't finish me either. My record company was giving me one last chance to make a hit."

"[voice over] Soon I would be old enough to head to New York, but momma had one more lesson to teach."

"[voice over] Momma was right about music. It opened a whole new world to me, outside of time and illness. The world I could live in."
