Steve "Boom Boom" Blauner quotes from Beyond the Sea (2004)

You know, I was right about you. You're gonna be easy to love.
Memories are like moonbeams; we do with them what we want.

Stop! Stop! Richie, stop! Hold it! Hold it! [the band stops playing. Silence] Okay, I wanna start over. I wanna do it again.

Steve "Boom Boom" Blauner

You gotta be kidding me. That was perfect.

No, I wanna do it again. I can do it better.

Steve "Boom Boom" Blauner

Do you know how long it takes to set this up?

Yeah, I don't know how much more my chops can take today, boss.

Well, maybe when you start playing it right, we can all call it a day. But when you play it sloppy like you've been doing all afternoon! Then were gonna do it again! And again! And again! Until we get it right!

Bobby, the guys are getting tired, that's all.

How do you think I feel?

Steve "Boom Boom" Blauner

Bobby! Whoa, sorry. But I was right about the war picture. Get your speech ready 'cause as soon as this tour is over, you're going to the Oscars, pal. You just got nominated.

Hallelujah! Yes! Yes!

Sandra Dee

Oh, Christ.

Boom Boom! Boom Boom! Boom Boom! Boom Boom! Boom Boom! Boom Boom! Book me back in Vegas.

Steve "Boom Boom" Blauner

You don't wanna go back to Vegas.

Oh, yes I do. I wanna go back to Vegas and I wanna go back on stage.

Steve "Boom Boom" Blauner

Don't tell me you found yourself?

Now. I'm a nightclub animal, Boom Boom. And I love it. And quite frankly I think I do it better than anybody else in the whole goddamn world.

Steve "Boom Boom" Blauner

You're also one of the most modest people I've ever met in my life, but I don't want you going back there.

It's gonna work this time. I can be what I want, I can say what I want, I can sing what I want! Sandy just said it, she just said it beautifully.

Steve "Boom Boom" Blauner

What?

"People hear what they see."
