Crossroads Quotes

Eugene Martone: You know Willie, I came down here to learn a lost song, not to get slapped in the face by an 80-year-old man! I find out I gotta become King of the Hobos I can go broke...
Willie Brown: [interrupting him angrily] I'm sorry your life turned out so 'HARD', Eugene! But I got my own business to tend to down here, and I don't mean for you to slow me down.
Eugene Martone: Business? What business?
Willie Brown: Personal business. And given your attitude, you got no reason to know what.
Eugene Martone: My attitude? What the hell's the matter with MY attitude, I have a great attitude!
Willie Brown: You got your mind made up about how everything works. How you gonna learn anything new when you KNOW everything already? [picks up Eugene's old, scratched acoustic guitar]
Willie Brown: Look at this old guitar here you been squeakin' on. I bet you saw this thing in a music store and bought it just because you thought it was beat up! Well you got it all wrong. Muddy Waters invented electricity.
