A line from Faye Dolan [to Jimmy over his anger at his "He's engaged!" tagline during the Hollywood Television Showcase performance]

I have wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you - kisses that I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all your color and life. I used to think that was the real you, when you smiled. But now I know you don't mean any of it. You just save it for all your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight.

Faye
[the band's thinking of their name]

But I thought you already decided on The Echoes.

Nah, some band in Buffalo's the Echoes. And I wasn't wild about that.

Let's just call us The - Band You're About To Hear.

Chad

How about The Corvettes?

Is that The Corvettes, or the Chordvettes?

Chad

No, Corvettes, like the car.

Well see, I was thinking like the Chord...[writes Chordvettes] Chordvettes, like chords in our music.

[Guy walks in]

Is that "Skitch" Patterson?

Chad

Here he is, Erie's lone beatnik.

The Bass Player

How about the Tempos? Ya know, tempos?

Not the Tempos, the Tempos. I was in a band already called The Tempos, and we were... terrible.

Chad

Hey Guy, weren't you the drummer for the Tempos?

Guy

Heard that.

[Jimmy's infuriated about the TV footage of their performance]

It just appeared, like magic, for the whole world to see.

Faye

I didn't say anything, I was just as surprised as you.

"Careful, girls, he's engaged." Am I supposed to buy you some diamond ring now?

Faye

You're ruining this beautiful moment.

Where'd you get the idea that we're engaged? We're not! Last thing I need in the world!

Lamarr The Doorman
[Knowing that Faye could be going back east and out of his life, Guy tries to go after her]

So, young squire?

[to Faye]

Before you go, let me ask you one question.

Faye Dolan

Shoot.

Guy

When was the last time you were decently kissed? I mean, truly, truly, good and kissed?

Faye

Dave Gammelgaard, New Year's Eve, '61.

Guy
[pause]

Okay. [kisses Faye, backs off and they kiss longer as Lamarr smiles]

Faye
[having kissed]

We should have done that a long time ago.
