"(applause)" "Well, that's ugh, a very interesting monologue, Johnny." "But I think you may have missed the point of the poem, perhaps." "I think all Whitman was trying to say, though maybe in a back asswards kind of way." "(laughter) is that one should remain open minded." "I don't think your parents want to stop the concert just to annoy you." "It's just that they're afraid of change." "There's never been a rock concert in this town."

"I'll be the first to admit, some of their stuff is a little antisocial." "But that's the very nature of rock and roll, isn't it?" "Trying to shake us up a little bit?" "It's the very nature of poetry too, isn't Mr Moorehouse?" "(chuckles)" "Yes, ugh." "Sometimes it seems so." "Yes sir, Mr Mayor." "See rock and roll is about rebellion." "What about Elvis?" "Little Richard?" "Chuck Berry?" "Remember when he first came out, did your parents squawk?" "And what about the Beatles?" "Now let's don't forget the Beatles." "Martin, do you remember when your boy grew his hair long like Ringo Star?" "They wanted to run that kid out of town on a rail." "Now was he evil simply because he had long hair." "[Crowd] No." "Now are these Black Roses any different?" "Yes they are." "Are you going to stop these concerts, Mayor Farnsworth?" "Now May there's not a damn thing that I can do about that."

"I have too much on my mind to be involved with you, or anyone else." "Yeah sure, I understand." "I mean I get down too sometimes." "What's there to look forward to after graduation." "Working for my father?" "Cutting frigging hair for the rest of my life?" "Johnny." "That's why I couldn't believe that" "Black Roses would play here." "I mean they never played out of the studio before, and they picked Mill Basin to open their tour?" "It was like a sign, that things were getting better around this hole." "If they even get to play here." "(mischievous orchestra music)" "I mean it like every time there's something I really want somebody takes it away." "Johnny."

"Deface or pollute the environment." "And you'll find your self up against stiff penalties." "Yeah." "It's real confining alright." "Mr Moorehouse." "Yes Tina." "What's this have to do with Emerson?"
