  Wizard : [Wizard looks at him for a second then cracks up]  Where'd you get this one Arthur? Belevieu?

  Wizard : [Wizard looks at August's hands]  You never played a note in your life. You know what music is? It's God's little reminder that there's something else in this universe besides us. Harmonic connection between everything, even the stars.

• Arthur : [talking to August]  Naw, I ain't got no family. My pops was a drunk. My mom, she ran off with this crackhead named Lil' Jesus. But he wasn't no Lil' Jesus, you know what I'm saying?

• Arthur : We all gonna be big stars some day.

• Roller Bull : You better hurry before Wizard shows. He'll be pissed when he sees you bought a pie!
