-This place is nice. -I really like the music

that they play. Bob Ellis on the drums.

(CHUCKLING)

ANDREW: I'm part of Shaffer's top jazz orchestra.

It's the best music school in the country.

FLETCHER: The key is to just relax. Don't worry about the numbers.

Don't worry about what the other guys are thinking.

You're here for a reason. Have fun.

Five, six, and...

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

-I want to be great. -And you're not?

We got Buddy Rich here.

-(DRUMMING) -Little trouble there.

You're rushing. Here we go. Five, six, and.

-(GENTLE DRUMMING) -(CLATTERING)

Were you rushing or were you dragging?

-I...I don't know. -(SLAPPING)

If you deliberately sabotage my band, I will gut you like a pig.

Oh, my dead God. Are you one of those single tear people?

(SHOUTING) You are a worthless pansy ass who is now weeping

and slobbering all over my drum set like a nine-year-old girl.

So how's it going with the studio band?

ANDREW: Good. Yeah, I think he likes me more now.

FLETCHER: I push people beyond what's expected of them.

I believe that is an absolute necessity.

ANDREW: I want to be one of the greats

and because I'm doing that, it's gonna take up more of my time

and this is why I don't think that we should be together.

JIM: I would never let him put my son through hell.

Why let him get away with what he did to you?

FLETCHER: There are no two words in the English language

more harmful than "good job."
