Quotes from the Movie Eddie and the Cruisers
The dark side is calling now, nothing is real / She'll never know just how I feel / From out of a shadow, she walks like a dream / Makes me feel crazy, makes me feel so mean / Ain't nothing gonna save you from a love that is blind / Slip to the dark side across that line / On the dark side, oh yeah / On the dark side, oh yeah

Joann was telling me you write music, thinks that might be good. I can give you a try. What I want is songs that echo. The stuff we're doing now is like somebody's bedsheets. Spread 'em out, soil 'em, ship 'em out to laundry, you know? [Frank nods] But our songs... I want to be able to fold ourselves up in them forever. You understand? That's the most you'll ever get out of me, Wordman, ever.

Lose a beat, miss a step. What a you a moron, Sal?

Look, Sal, I like your stuff. But it just ain't what I was looking for. You understand?
Eddie Wilson
Look, I don't want to argue with you, Sal. Do you want to get another opinion on the subject?
Eddie Wilson
Joann, what do you think?
Eddie Wilson
Why not ask her, she's got brain?
Eddie Wilson
You dumb guinea. [looking at Frank] Hey, kid, come here.
Eddie Wilson

Eddie Wilson
See, my way with a caesurian.

Yeah, sure, we played at "St. Something" down in Delaware and "Fairly Ridiculous" up in Madison, but we ain't never played at no finishing school like this. This is a mistake, we don't belong here. These people are different.
