Lenny
- [When Jimmy is reluctant to sign a management contract]
- Lenny: Are you crazy? A man in a really nice camper wants to put our song on the radio! Gimme a pen; I'm signin', you're signin', we're all signin'!
- Jimmy: [Speaking about Diane Dane] She told me never trust a label. And I'm beginning to believe her.
- Lenny: Well, sure. I mean, come on. They put us up in a first class hotel, all expenses paid, while our record climbs the charts; bunch of lyin' snakes.
- Jimmy: Sorry I'm buggin' you! I guess I'm alone in my principles.
- [leaves the room]
- Lenny: Oh come on. Oh, there he goes off to his room to write that hit song "Alone in my principles."
- Villapiano: Know what that is?
- Lenny: [pauses, then answers hesitantly] Pres - idential flash cards?
- Villapiano: A bonus. Do you know why?
- Lenny: I have no idea.
- Villapiano: To entice you back! The word is out on you O-neders!
- Lenny: Hey, that's O-nedders!
- Lenny: [when asked what The Wonders' musical influences are] Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters.
- [during a TV interview with band at the Illinois State Fair]
- Lenny Haise: Oh, I'm not here with these fellas. I've got a pig in competition over at the livestock pavilion, and *I* am gonna win that blue ribbon!
- Lenny Haise: So how long have you worked at Play-tone?
- Receptionist: How long have you been wearing such tight pants?
- Lenny Haise: Hey, if that's a pick-up line we're a match made in heaven.
- Guy: Hey, Uncle Bob, when are we gonna get these records?
- Uncle Bob: [thinks] Ah... Luke 21:19.
- The Bass Player: And your patience possess ye your souls.
- Lenny: Luke? Who's Luke? When are we gettin' the records?
- Uncle Bob: Wednesday.
- Lenny Haise: Here's the thing, we're not "The Wonders" right now, we're "Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters".
- Heckler: Hey, when are you gonna play "That Thing You Do!"?
- Lenny: Ah, has our fame preceded us?
- Heckler: We came here to meet girls and dance, and we can't meet girls until we dance!
- Lenny: [to Jimmy, the Bass Player, and Guy] All right, this seems like an opportune moment to pick it up a little.
- [to the heckler]
- Lenny: OK, here's one for the kid in the back.
