"[while performing the Boogie Woogie] As the next part of the Boogie Woogie is so strange that it calls for an explanation, is called a Boogie Woogie break. And when Im playing it and, like, stop at a certain point, youre going to think I forgot the music. But I didnt forget the music; theres just no music written for that part. Thats why they call it a break."

"I love it! That was terrific! Ya see, George. I told you, men do come to my concerts. Well, I really appreciate it and I know somebody else out in the audience that appreciates it too. And thats my mom. Mom, Ill tell you what. Let them hear it from you and Ill play it just for you. Okay, mom?"

"[Scott imagines seeing Liberace performing one last time. Last lines] To dream the impossible dream. To be better far than you are. To try, when your arms are too weary. To reach the unreachable star. This is my quest to follow that star. No matter how hopeless. No matter how far. Be willing to give and theres no more to give. Be willing to die so that honor and justice may live and I know and Ill only be true to this glorious quest. My heart, shall lie peaceful and calm, when Im laid to my rest. Thank you. Thank you. You have made me the happiest piano player who has ever lived and no matter what I still believe and always will. Too much of a good thing is wonderful."

"I really thank you all for joining me in this Boogie Woogie, and Id like to try a little experiment. Ive been playing this Boogie Woogie at eight beats to the bar. Id like to try playing it now at sixteen beats to the bar."
