Top rated lines from this movie

The idiotic tunes people play nowadays. Give me the old stern classics. They have strength and power! Give me something with life to it, something that will flood the whole house with sound!

What's that? -Sounds like the organ. -But the motor isn't on. The console was locked when I left.
