Sylvie Russo
- Sylvie Russo: [in her final scene saying goodbye to Bob through the fence at the ferry terminal] It was fun to be on the carnival train with you, Bobby, but I think I gotta step off. I feel like one of those plates, you know, that the French guy spins on those sticks on the Sullivan show.
- Bob Dylan: Oh, I like that guy.
- Sylvie Russo: I'm sure it's fun to *be* the guy, Bob. But I was a plate.
- Sylvie Russo: [in coffeeshop after seeing 'Now, Voyager' movie] What do you want to be?
- Bob Dylan: A musician. Who eats.
- Sylvie Russo: Well, I like your songs.
- Bob Dylan: My record comes out in a couple weeks.
- Sylvie Russo: Some of the songs you played today on your record?
- Bob Dylan: It's mostly covers. It's traditional stuff. Y'know, folk songs are supposed to stand the test of time, like Shakespeare or something. They say no one wants to hear what a kid wrote last month.
- Sylvie Russo: Who's 'they'?
- Bob Dylan: The record company. Manager.
- Sylvie Russo: I'm sorry, but, Where Have All The Flowers Gone? is not Shakespeare.
- [reaches in purse to pay coffeeshop bill]
- Sylvie Russo: There was a time when the old songs were new, right? Someone at some point had to give the songs a chance.
- [they get up and begin to leave the restaurant]
- Sylvie Russo: I mean, there's a civil war going on down south. The biggest military buildup in history. Nuclear bombs hanging over us. It's not all about the Dust Bowl and Johnny Appleseed anymore.
