She saved him. And somehow his own dogged drive to find a horn to master the rhythms and the melodies they heard around him pushed him on.

Quote context

[...]

- There's his music.

- He can't play a note!

- He's got the notes inside him.

- I've watched him, and I've listened to him... and I believe he'll grow famous.

- All he'll play is the junk they shout out around the streets. You said yourself it wasn't worth listening to.

- I've changed my mind. Too many people come into New Orleans to hear it... and they get real pleasure from it.

- Maybe there's something in this 'ragtime' music... you and I are too old to feel... but it's in Louis's blood. Let him grow.

- She saved him. And somehow his own dogged drive to find a horn to master the rhythms and the melodies they heard around him pushed him on.

- And in the evenings after the coal was sold, he carried the instruments for traveling musicians who were coming into New Orleans...

- And he would sleep besides the pianos waiting for the player to finish so he could collect his tips.

- And one evening the piano player ended his odd chord... drilling on the keyboards and turned to the kid...

- Say... say, kid. It's closin' time. Thanks for handlin' my suitcase.

- Oh sure, but you said you're gonna pay.

- I know, I said I'd pay, but... Well, if you had kept your eyes open, you could have seen I didn't get a penny all night.

Top rated lines from this movie

All right now, girl, stand aside. Least a woman can do is to keep out of the way of those who're busy. Let the moving men by.

I learned that no women can live free and equal by standing silently by while huge sections of the human race were slandered and made second-class citizens.

The kid left her and went back to me, the trumpet, and blew until his cheeks ached and his lips cracked and split, but he kept on.

You're the one who can make the trumpet talk... and tell the truth.

I believe that once one accepts discrimination against another, he's preparing the way for his own slavery. I intend to remain free.
