A scene from Green Book 2018
Tony Lip

I dunno. Personally I think if you stuck to the classic stuff it would've been a big mistake.

Don Shirley

A mistake? Performing the music I trained my entire life to play?

Tony Lip

Trained? What are you, a seal? People love what you do! Anyone can sound like Beethoven or Joe Pan or them other guys you said. But your music, what you do? Only you can do that!

Don Shirley

Thank you, Tony. But not everyone can play Chopin. Not like I can.
