Love & Mercy

& Brian: It’s a funny word, isn’t it, bodyguard?
    Melinda: Uh...
    Brian: Bodyguard.
    Melinda: Are we on «Candid Camera»?

& Carol: Brian? I think you might’ve screwed up here.
    Brian: Really? Let me see.
    Carol: Well, you’ve got Lyle playing in D and the rest of us are in A major.
    Brian: Yeah, that’s right.
    Carol: How does that work? Two baselines in two different keys?
    Brian: Well, it works in my head. It’s all playing in my head.

& Brian: He was a really hard man and he was a not very happy man, but, uh... in some ways I love my dad, you know, because... he scared me and he scared me so much, I think he actually scared me into making good records.

& Brian: The old stuff is old!
    Mike: So we’ll make it new again!
    Brian: I can’t go back in time! We’re not surfers, we never have been, and real surfers don’t dig our music anyway. I can’t write about the summer and fun and summer and summer and fun and cars! I got different stuff inside me, I gotta get it out.

& Brian: Listen, about... I have this song playing over and over in my head. I just don’t have the words or the melody.

& Brian: You know, Mom told me once when we were kids that dogs can pick up on vibes from people like... like they know when we’re happy or sad or scared.
    Mike: Yeah, well... it’s too bad we’re not dogs. Right?
