JIMMY RABBITTE:
Elvis is not soul.

JIMMY RABBITTE SR
(defensively) Elvis is God!

JIMMY RABBITTE:
I never pictured God with a fat gut and a corset singing "My Way" at Caesar's Palace.





I love the scene where one of the girl singers pushes Deco off the top of the piano.

3. The scene where they're discussing who died

by choking on their own vomit.

4. YES!

I think that scene was when they were in the hospital waiting for the bass player who had nearly gotten electrocuted by Deco waving the microphone stand around on stage.

My favorite line from that scene in the hospital was when they were discussing how someone choking on their own vomit might become famous:
NATALIE: "Maybe we could get Deco to choke on his own vomit!"

[Bryan]

5. ""It feels much better being an unemployed musician than an unemployed pipefitter!"

6. That was a good line

I think it was Dean Fay, the sax player, who said that to Jimmy while he was in line at the unemployment office.
