    Nashville quotes

    • John Triplette: I just want to tell you a little bit about what we're trying to do. I'm not - I know you're astute politically and I'm certainly not here to sell you a bill of goods.

      Bill: I don't care. I don't care about politics.

      John Triplette: Okay, great. Well, let me tell you then, I've got a problem that I think would work to your advantage. As you know this redneck music is very popular right now. And I've got an awful lot of these local yokels on the bill, you know, singing...

      Bill: Your basic country folk...

      John Triplette: Crapola...

      Bill: Right

      John Triplette: So, I think - what I'm going for is a broader appeal, you know.

      Bill: Which is where we would fit in.

      John Triplette: More than just this Southern thing. And I think that you could really - a really hip group, like yours, could walk off with the evening.

      Bill: Yeah, probably the only rock group on there?

      John Triplette: Absolutely.

    • Mary: You see, it really doesn't make any difference because we're registered Democrats.

      John Triplette: Well, I'm a registered Democrat!

      Bill: The only reason we're registered Democrats is because your father was a registered Democrat and his father's a registered Democrat!
