She was completely wrecked!

You are looking at a new man.

Even though I don't think anyone cares what I play.

If by anyone you mean anyone other than me, that would be correct.

I care, and I don't want to hear the free jazz.

I thought that in this town it worked on a sort of "one for you, one for me" type system.

How about two for you, one for me?

Whatever. Tell yourself what you want to know.

There's a nice way to say that, Karen.

I hear what you're saying, but I don't think you're saying what you mean.

Yeah, I don't think you hear what I'm saying. You're fired.

Yeah, I see the decorations. Good luck in the New Year.

I just heard you play.
