    • [first lines]

      Critic #1: I call it a hit. What'll your review say?

      Critic #2: I like it too, so I guess I'll pan it.

    • [a group of soldiers in marching off to fight in World War II, singing Cohan's World War I song, "Over There"]

      Sergeant on parade: What's the matter, old timer? Don't you remember this song?

      George M. Cohan: Seems to me I do.

      Sergeant on parade: Well, I don't hear anything.

      [Cohan starts singing along, with tears coming into his eyes]
