A hundred dollars a week, plus room and board.

A letter.

A lucky rock.

A mistake?

A molar, a a shark tooth.

A n**** pianist on a classical stage.

A new pair of shoes!

A P.S.?

A sound compromise.

A thank you.

A very prejudiced thing.

A what?

About you being gone for three weeks?

About your availability.

About your own people.

Accompanying Mr. Shirley, the members of his trio,

Actually, I was trained to play classical music.

Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that.

Afraid to make the first move.

Ah, shit!

Ah, shit.

Ah, there you go.

Ah...

Ain't they supposed to be following us?

Air?

All dressed up like that.

All right, all right, all right, relax, relax.

All right, don't let me down. Let's go.

All right, everybody.

All right, hey, look, so here's the first half of your pay.

All right, that's it.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. Oh. You remember Marie?

All righty.

All the people he knows, he'll find something in no time.

All the time when I was in the Army.

All these high class people, so much smarter than me,

All you gotta do is say the word, Doc.

Always on the road.

Always. Always with the kissing.

Am I glad to see you.

An athlete warms up before they rehearse.

An officer was assaulted in the line of duty.

And a concert pianist act.

And beat him badly.

And believe me, you and the Deep South,

And can you see to it that there's a bottle of Cutty Sark

And concern for my career.

And Dr. Shirley expects to eat tonight.

And Dr. Shirley's in there getting bounced around.

And every day I'm alive, I'm aware of this.

And from now on, you don't call me "Mr. Loscudo."

And he has performed at the White House twice

And he was sitting on top of a friggin' throne

And I ain't about to let this come to pass in my place.

And I give you something to thank you?

And I just put the attorney general of the United States

And I seen a store that was selling suits.

And I suffer that slight alone,

And I suppose you'd know from experience.

And I will love you the rest of my life.

And I'm about to embark on a concert tour,

And I'm not polishing nobody's shoes.

And I'm telling you to get 'em the goddamn out!

And if anyone hears of a job for Tony, let us know.

And if I'm not man enough, then tell me, Tony, what am I?

And in the liturgical arts.

And most highly educated people in the country.

And on down through the Delta.

And rich white people pay me to play piano for them

And salt's cheating.

And sets a glass of whiskey on his piano,

And she'll say, "Tony, how about some quiet time?"

And sneak you into my room.

And spaghetti and meatballs, I'm not gonna get insulted.

And that is why I called and inquired

And that's why he drinks too much.

And the five boroughs.

And the itinerary, and this thing.

And the traffic out here in the country is nothing,

And their colors have faded to grays and browns."

And then complains because he's not respected

And then we're taking a hard left.

And there's garbage in there.

And they put that little tie on him, too.

And those weren't children on the cover.

And tonight, because of you, we did not.

And use the facilities there,

And we are so happy to have you here, Mr. Shirley.

And we can go home, get away from these pricks.

And we rolled out the welcome wagon.

And we're not a band. We're a trio.

And what if you lost?

And what's the difference?

And where are you?

And why are you driving him?

And why would you want a regular rock?

And without the profanity.

And you gotta travel, for some reason.

And you rewarded them.

And you see this here hat?

And you, you ain't got no say.

And you're proud of that?

And, uh, now we're lost.

Animals go in the woods.

Any cook can make things salty.

Anyone can sound like Beethoven

Anyone could sound like Beethoven or...

Anything at all, you let me know.

Anything left?

Appreciate it, but, uh,

Appreciate it.

Are them horns real?

Are trying to change this country.

Are you crazy?

Are you gonna throw up again?

Are you interested

Aretha Franklin.

Arranged for me to study

As always, a very special thanks

As long as they get to the show on time,

As my mother always said,

As soon as he started playing, a group of men

As the guest of honor, I'll be introduced

Ask what you do for yourself."

Asking to attenuate assault charges? Who does that?

At Arthur Fiedler's invitation,

At the age of three.

At the end of Shostakovich's Seventh.

Be a personal assistant. I need a valet.

Be careful.

Be down in a minute.

Beautiful gray suit in the window.

Because genius is not enough.

Because I'm not accepted by my own people

Because it makes them feel cultured.

Because it's takes courage to change people's hearts

Because that is their true culture.

Because you can do better, Mr. Vallelonga.

Because you know, if I miss a show,

Beef like that should never happen inside the club.

Before we pull out, Tony, we need to have a talk.

Besides, I told you never to go nowhere without me!

Better him than me.

Birmingham, yes. It's a Christmas show.

Bobby Kennedy just saved our asses.

Brahms, Franz Liszt, Beethoven, Chopin.

Bullshit. Take it.

Bum a smoke?

But as soon as I step off that stage, I go right back

But do it in a manner that no one else

But he ask for this.

But I ain't no butler.

But I like this. This is nice.

But I think I got the hang of it now.

But I was persuaded by my record company

But it got more and more difficult to stay in touch.

But it's a piece of shit.

But let me be crystal clear.

But not everyone can play Chopin.

But sometimes I think he gets sad,

But that would take at least a half an hour.

But we ain't.

But what exactly am I being charged with?

But whatever happens here, I'm gonna put a bullet

But your music, what you do, only you can do that

But your music, what you do...

But, uh, is there a doctor's office in here?

By bullshitting them.

Bye, now.

Call him.

Called his room.

Calling from some backwoods swamp jail,

Can play on anything you put in front of them.

Can't be eating 26 hot dogs every day.

Can't see shit.

Certain types of music, it doesn't mean I have to.

Couldn't seem to manage both worlds.

Dear Dolores:

Dear Dolores: How are you?

Depends what you're paying.

Do not drive, Mr. Vallelonga.

Do you foresee any issues in working for a black man?

Don't be shy, Doc.

Don't be stupid.

Don't bother. You took all the fun out of it.

Don't call him that.

Don't don't do that.

Don't ever flash your wad of cash in a bar.

Don't lecture me, you rat.

Don't tell me nothing.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it. I took care of it.

Dr. Shirley and I are getting along pretty good.

He's got a silky voice, very smooth.

He's like a genius I think

He's looking for a driver

How does he smile and shake the hands like that?

How does he smile and shake their hands like that?

How is that?

How to play like that?

How you doing?

How you say this last name?

How? Do you have plates or utensils?

However charming it may be in the tristate area,

Huh?

Huh?

I ain't going nowhere, Doc.

I ain't ironing no shirts,

I ain't worried about nothing.

I am a musician

I am fine.

I am not a medical doctor

I assumed you'd want this to be the exception.

I ate 26.

I beg your pardon?

I beg your pardon?

I bet there's not two Steinways

I buy youse each a suit?

I can hear it now, Governor.

I can keep you busy while the Copa is down.

I can teach you that are quite effective. I can help you.

I can't believe they lost.

I can't breathe back here.

I can't keep my eyes open.

I could pick up a little bit of what you were saying there.

I did what I had to do.

I didn't know it bothered you.

I didn't like the way he was treating you.

I didn't mean to put you in that position.

I didn't notice any difference at all.

I didn't steal from a box.

I didn't steal no stone.

I didn't want to leave him, but I didn't know what to do.

I don't believe it.

I don't get it.

I don't get my hat, I'll burn the Copa down.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I think he's, like,

I don't know. Personally, I think,

I don't know. Sounds fairly complicated.

I don't lose.

I don't make the rules down here.

I don't think I've ever met anyone with your appetite.

I don't think so, no.

I don't, either, but it wasn't one of ours.

I ever had.

I feel fine. And I ain't paying for no regular rock

I feel safer already.

I found in the dirt.

I got 400 guests in there

I got a call about Dr. Shirley.

I got it when I was kid, 'cause my friend said

I got it, Pop. I got it.

I got more in common with the Hymies

I got no problem being on the road with you.

I got you, Doc.

I gotta drive. Ten and two on the wheel.

I gotta go all the way back to your motel.

I guess you'd better move your ass, then.

I guess.

I had my record label ask around town

I have a brother somewhere.

I have ever done.

I hear you almost split a guy's face open.

I I can't do this, Tony.

I I don't need no goddamn help. People don't like

I I understand why my associate is being held,

I I was just going down to tell them.

I just needed some air.

I just said it nice.

I just wanted a drink, Tony.

I just wish you hadn't paid 'em off.

I knew a guy from Pittsburgh.

I knew you had a gun.

I know exactly who I am.

I know you're the kind of man who honors a contract.

I know.

I like what you did back there, Doc.

I live on the streets. You sit on a throne.

I love it, too. n**** cooks used to make it

I love you, too, baby.

I love you. Your husband, Tony.

I loved you the day I met you, I love you today,

I mean, come on, Doc. These are your people.

I mean, guys like you, you work hard.

I mean, it's amazing.

I mean, the dinner rolls here are like rocks.

I mean, you take the basic ingredients...

I miss you very, very much."

I need some sleep.

I need someone who can handle my itinerary.

I need someone who can launder my clothes and shine my shoes.

I need you to stop it with the phony altruism

I never knew how very beautiful this country was.

I noticed on the itinerary thing,

I noticed your car was tilting left.

I picked up a rock off of the ground.

I prefer not to get grease on my blanket

I prefer not to get grease on my blanket.

I promise

I promise.

I refuse to stay in an establishment

I said "bullshit artist."

I said I'm fine.

I saw this kid Bobby Rydell

I see.

I see.

I shipped that goddamn Steinway in from Atlanta for you!

I should have brung the iron."

I spoke to Podell.

I swear to God it's gonna turn up.

I tell you.

I think you're doing a wonderful job.

I thought, uh... I thought I was going to an office.

I told him it was okay for you to go.

I told you that kraut was a snake.

I told you.

I took a picture of him; it was so cute.

I turned down your bed, sir.

I walk up to the car, and I say,

I want a letter.

I want these Yankees off of my property.

I want to speak to my lawyer.

I want to spend some time with the family.

I want you to guard it with your life.

I want you to write me a letter.

I wanted to kill that broad.

I was hired to get you from one show to the next.

I was hungry.

I was kidding.

I was the best bullshit artist in the Bronx.

I was the first n**** ever accepted there.

I was walking through your nice town today,

I went out for a drink, I walk into this bar,

I will write you another letter when we get down south.

I won't.

I work for the record company.

I worked a lot of joints.

I wouldn't touch that mattress, Doc.

I, uh... I think I got the wrong address,

I'd do that once a month for free.

I'd have zero problem going in the woods.

I'd like to formally offer you

I'd like you all to meet Don Shirley.

I'd like you to do when we arrive in the city...

I'd piss right on the living room floor.

I'd prefer not to use that.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right up the street at the Easton Inn.

I'll check out some ties for you.

I'll get to it immediately, Governor.

I'll just wait outside.

I'll play if you want me to.

I'll put 'em under the mattress.

I'll stop at the next place we see

I'm a good bullshitter."

I'm a musician.

I'm about to embark on a concert tour in the deep south

I'm afraid not.

I'm Bobby Rydell, and I'm glad to be here.

I'm counting on youse.

I'm Dr. Donald Shirley.

I'm fine. Thank you, Tony.

I'm flush right now.

I'm getting hypnotized here.

I'm going back in there.

I'm gonna drink for two months.

I'm gonna have to go back to driving garbage trucks.

I'm good.

I'm here for the driver job.

I'm just getting started over here.

I'm just good at talking people into...

I'm just saying you have a marvelous way with words

I'm just saying, we're an arty family.

I'm just, um...

I'm making dinner.

I'm not eating in that storage room.

I'm not just hiring a chauffeur.

I'm not sure this is the proper job for a married man.

I'm not worried about it, and neither should you.

I'm okay.

I'm on my way to meet a friend.

I'm pulling us into the next hotel.

I'm reminded of the beautiful plains of Iowa."

I'm saying, just because other n****es enjoy

I'm sorry about last night.

I'm sorry, fellas, duty calls.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure you understand.

I'm talking.

I'm telling you, this is gonna be

I'm the asshole who has to hustle every goddamn day

I'm the guy who lived in the same neighborhood

I'm the one who's gonna miss the Birmingham show.

I'm Tony.

I'm well aware.

I'm with the band.

I'm working here.

I'm your pal, Gio.

I've been looking for you.

I've been working nightclubs in New York City my whole life.

I've had to endure that kind of talk my entire life.

I've never had fried chicken in my life.

Ice cold.

If I was in a bar in your neighborhood,

If you don't play Birmingham.

If you gentlemen don't mind,

If you need anything,

If you said all guineas like pizza

If you stuck to the classic stuff,

If you want to buy something, you don't have to ask.

If you'd like, Tony, I'd happily buy you the stone.

In 45 minutes, I will be right up there

In an incredibly awkward position.

In eastern Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey

In fact, when you see me worried, you'll know.

In here, with me, who did nothing.

In Kentucky!

In my humble opinion,

In my room every night?

In our "guest of honor" spot.

In the Bronx my entire life with my mother, my father,

In the past 14 months.

In the whole state of Indiana.

In what capacity?

Innate ability to handle trouble.

Interacting with some of the wealthiest
