• Vinnie : You can't change what you are and neither can I. We had our chance and missed it, Ed. But I'll tell you one thing that's true... And I know it's true. You did love me as much as a man ever loved a woman. Didn't you?

  Ed Lindsay : Yes, Vinnie. That's true. I did, yes.

  Vinnie : And now you love what we were; what we might've become together. So just about this time every year... It would have been our anniversary... You start getting unhappy. You want to go back to 1940 and start all over again. Why do you think you keep hearing "Getting Sentimental Over You" on the radio? That was our song, Ed. And those programs... We used to listen to them together... In the dark. I'd forgotten. When you hear those programs, you're like a young man again with all of your life ahead of you. But it isn't so, Ed. It's all over between us. We missed our chance. We can't go back.

• The Boy : [who just helped him carry a huge, heavy 1935 console radio upstairs]  Think it still works?

  Ed Lindsay : [starts to turn on radio]  Sure. Of course, it works. They made things to last in those days, boy.

  The Boy : [listens to some modern, loud, blaring, rock 'n' roll instrumental music on the radio]  Hey, that's pretty wild, alright.

  Ed Lindsay : [upset that he likes modern music, shows him the door, gives him some coins]  Get out. Go buy yourself a switch-blade!
