5. Memorable Quotes
1900:I was born on this ship, and the world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time. And there were wishes here, but never more than fit between prow and stern. You played out your happiness, but on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way. 

-Max: Okay, pops you win. You just bought yourself a piece of musical history
-Pops: Now if you want my advice. Go out, treat yourself to a decent meal
-Max: At least let me play it one last time
-Pops: Young man I don't have time to waste. All right. Hurry up, then. I'm closing
-Max: Thank you
-Pops: Two peas in a pod, wouldn't you say? It's the music you were just playing. What is it?
-Max: It doesn't have a name. Just a handful of people have had the privilege of hearing it
-Pops: That style. I was wondering since this morning, but... I can't work out who this amazing piano player is.
-Max: I don't think you ever heard of him
-Pops: Who is he?
Max: If I told you this pianist never existed. I wouldn't be lying
ho is he?
-Pops: I don't like secrets. Come on now, Yank. Who the devil is playing?

-1900: Sassy Lady. And this one. Red Hot Mama. What's a mama, Danny?
-Danny: A mama? A mama's a horse
-1900: A horse?
-Danny: Racehorse. Matter of fact, you know what I say, Mama's the best horse in the world. Thoroughbred you bet on a mama, you always win

-1900: In winter, it's beautiful. And in March you can always count on one afternoon when you least expect it, the fog slides in a milky barrier, hangs just below the street lamps.It cuts everything off Iike a white blade. And it's magic. Houses lose their top floors, trees lose their branches. .St. Louis Cathedral loses its spires. People passing by, they lose their heads.So from the neck up everything disappears. All you can see in Jackson Square is decapitated bodies .stumbling around bumping into each other saying. How's your mama and them?
-Max: That's it, too bad, it doesn't last long. How do you know all these things?
Last.You know, ever since I came on board. I have been hearing a lot of talk about a guy. He's supposed to have been born on this ship and never been off it since. Crazy story. Twenty years without ever setting foot on land?
-1900: Twenty seven
-Max: They say this guy makes music that's never been heard before.
-1900: I've heard of him too.

-Max:The world is out there. Nothing but a gangplank to cross. And what's a gangplank? A few stupid steps. Christ, everything is waiting at the bottom of those steps one time? Why don't you just do it? Why don't you just get off?
-1900: Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? I think land people waste a lot of time wondering why. Winter comes and you can't wait for summer. Summer comes and you live in dread of winter. That's way you never tired of traveling.

-1900: No. But he ended up alone too.
-Man: Then he is more lucky than me. I still have a daughter. The young one she survived. And it's for her that I decide one day to fight against my bad luck and travel all over without a destination

-1900: Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Please, miss, I have to talk to you. You're meeting your father, aren't you?
-Padoan: Yes. How did you know?
-1900: I think I've met him. On this ship, quite a few years ago.
-Padoan: I don't know if he took this same ship
-1900: I'm sure of it. He has a musette. I think we played together. I don't know if he'd remember, but say hello to him.
-Padoan: I will. But how did you know who I was? It's very strange, no?
-1900: It's a secret. And secrets should be kept. Although I think your father felt differently back then.
