Beef: I know drug real from real real.

Beef: Can't you feel the vibes in your own house, man? Bad, sport, real bad. The karma in here is so thick, you need an aqualung to breathe.

Beef: There really is a phantom. He was just in my shower. He threatened my life. He said his music was for Phoenix. Only she can sing it. Anyone else who tries, dies.

Swan: If I can't be young forever, I'd rather end it all - now.

Phoenix: Don't you hear that crowd down there? Why should I give that up?
The Phantom: They'll want more. They want much more. More than you could ever give.
Phoenix: I'll give them whatever they want.

Swan: Phoenix, Swan here. I want you to answer a question for me.
Phoenix: Yes.
Swan: What would you give me to sing?
Phoenix: Anything you want.
Swan: Anything? Would you give me your voice?

Winslow Leach: Dream it never ends.

Swan: [holding a contract] It's all here. Read it carefully, then sign at the bottom in blood. Messy, I know, but it's the only way to bind. Tradition.

Swan: Ink isn't worth anything to me, Winslow.

Swan: An asassination live on television coast to coast - that's entertainment.

The Phantom: My music is for Phoenix. Only she can sing it. Anyone else who tries, dies.

Swan: This contract terminates with Swan. No more suicides, Winslow, you gave up your right to rest in peace when you signed this contract.

Winslow Leach: But I'm innocent. Swan stole my music and FRAMED ME.

Beef: Look, Philbin, I am a professional. I have been in this business a long time. Now if I don't want to do a show, it's not because I got stage fright. It's because some creature from beyond doesn't want me to do the show. Now gangway.

Beef: Swan, this was scored for a chick. I'm not doing it in drag.

Beef: Speed?
Arnold Philbin: Yeah.
Beef: What do you know about it? You just pass the stuff out, I take it.

Beef: You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does.

Beef: Man, you better get yourself a castrato for this, 'cause it's a little out of my range.

Swan: Get this fag out of here.

Arnold Philbin: You know what?
Winslow Leach: What?
Arnold Philbin: I think the Juicy Fruits are gonna dig it.
Winslow Leach: The Juicy Fruits?
Arnold Philbin: I'm not promising anything, kid...
[Winslow slams Philbin against the wall]
Winslow Leach: I will not allow my music to be mutilated by those greaseballs!
Arnold Philbin: Hey, take it easy...
Winslow Leach: I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SING 'FAUST'!

Winslow Leach: "All art…"
[Swan has moved to the other side of the Phantom]
Winslow Leach: "All articles which have been excluded shall be deemed included." What does that mean?
Swan: That's a clause to protect you, Winslow.
