Bob Dylan: A musician. Who eats.
Sylvie Russo: Well, I like your songs.

Sylvie Russo: Who's 'they'?
Bob Dylan: The record company. Manager.
Sylvie Russo: I'm sorry, but, "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" is not Shakespeare. There was a time when the old songs were new, right? Someone at some point had to give the songs a chance.
