A scene from Elizabethtown 2005
Claire Colburn

So, you failed.

Drew Baylor

No, you don't get it.

Claire Colburn

All right, you really failed. You failed, you failed, you failed. You failed, you failed, you... You think I care about that? I do understand. You're an artist, man. Your job is to break through barriers. Not accept blame and bow and say thank you, I'm a loser, I'll go away now. Oh, Phil's mean to me, whaa, whaa, So what.

Drew Baylor

I don't cry.

Claire Colburn

You want to be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling. That's true greatness to me. But... don't listen to me, I'm a Claire.
