Nick Chinlund: Alex

Quotes 

• Young Jane : You know you're always saying, when you're working strong, work strong be brave. Well, I was working strong and I was right.

  Alex : No, there is no "right" if there's no payoff. This is show business, not show art.

• Young Jane : She's dying, okay? We're stealing for a dying girl.

  Alex : All right. You know we're all dying, kid. Okay? We're all dying. But what we're giving her because, yeah, she'll be dead by Tuesday and needs it more than most, is hope. Do you get that?

  Young Jane : I can't do it.

  Alex : Okay, you're either with the show or you're not. You're a loser, or you're someone who plays the losers. And you can't back out when you feel like it! When it's morally convenient, when you don't have the guts. I never backed out. I've been carrying you for a long time and it's not getting any easier, son. No act. You gonna work that all out by yourself. You going solo? Yes or no, boy. Are you with me? Come on, you gotta say.
