That Thing You Do! (1996)

Chris Ellis: Horace

Quotes 

• Phil Horace : I've found that a hit record is like a stew. All the ingredients have to come together just right. Otherwise, it's just soup.

• Phil Horace : I'm talking about Rock 'N' Roll shows in Steubenville, Youngstown, Pittsburgh, places like that.

  The Bass Player : Pittsburgh?

  Lenny : Steubenville?

• Phil Horace : [after the mantinee at Orpheum]  Guy, I keep telling you, you are the drummer. The backbone, the timekeeper. You can't let a tepid reaction from one matinee house affect your dedication to the band.

  Guy : I was playing like one of those little wind-up monkey toys. They booed us off the stage, Phil! Jimmy couldn't even hear how off-key he was.

  Phil Horace : You're gonna get it all back tonight, I promise you.
