Quotes

Mary Shannon: [voiceover] I've gazed into the eyes of contract killers, listening to them explain they were only trying to feed their kids. Con artists who insist it's the mark's fault for being so stupid. And Dylan fans who, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, defend their love of "Down in the Groove". Yes, it's the rare individual who admits they're a heartless, greedy bastard possessing absolutely no musical taste.
