"Im not gonna shine your brass, son. I dont get your music. Im more of a Lawrence Welk kind of fellow. Well, its not liking it or not, I just dont get what all the fuss is about. But there is a fuss, and I can surely understand that. And I can sell it. I can sell anything. I can sell a wino the sweat off a grape. And I know I can sell the hell out of you."
"I guarantee you that more people will see this one night of The Milton Berle Show than well ever see that Burt Lancaster movie. Now, cmon, Uncle Milties waiting."
"It seems that Mr. Ed Sullivan has lost his ten foot pole. Youre on the show."
"[after Presley and his band perform "Harbor Lights"] That sounded something like Bing Crosby, the trouble is, we already got us a Bing Crosby, and the one before, well, we got us a Eddy Arnold and a Hank Snow. Son, give me... Give me some of you, give me some of you, give me some Elvis Presley."
"[while Sam, Elvis, Scotty and Bill listen to their recording of "Thats All Right"] But its different. Ah, its something else. That there song is a hit."
"Jack Noseworthy - Steve Binder"
"Camryn Manheim - Gladys Presley"
"One day, Im gonna be the man in the big house."
"[whilst at RCA recording a song] I dont care how many times we done it. Were gonna keep on doin it, till I get it the way I hear it in my head."
"Seems the higher I climb, the lonelier it gets."
"[at the Jacksonville Theater after singing "Dont Be Cruel"] Ill see you girls backstage."
