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
