Teen Idol/Quotes

Barney Schlock: All right, we got the tenor sax, vocal group, piano, drums and guitar. We're all set to make a hit Rock and Roll record. Let's hear it!

Barney Schlock: Hold it. Hold it! Something's missing.
Musician: A teenage idol, man. You don't have a teenage idol.
Barney Schlock: Oh, yeah. Well wait here, I'll get one.
[SFX: Walk out of studio and out onto street]
Barney Schlock: Hey, kid!
Kid: Who, me?
Barney Schlock: Yeah! Can you sing?
Kid: No.

Barney Schlock: Good. Come with me.
