- Ray Williams: I'm so drunk! And Doug's just lent me his car.
- Bernie Taupin: Elton, I think you're overreacting.
- Elton John: No, Bernie! You are underreacting. They are the geniuses of American music. I can't go out there in front of that lot!
- Bernie Taupin: Okay, okay. Then we'll tell Doug to refund everyone's ticket, and we'll send everybody home!
- Ray Williams: Where is he?
- Bernie Taupin: Hey, Ray..
- Ray Williams: You signed the contract! Dick's paid your fucking airfare! Now get out there and play, you little twat.

- Ray Williams: That was good. I mean, it could do with some words.
- Elton John: Yeah. That's the part I struggle with.
