"We have only jobs here, Mr. Sanderson, not 'gigs.' "

"Last night, I tried out some new stuff, but tonight I'm only drinking the classics."

"Well, that's the only song we know, so we can play it another two or three times, or we can cut our losses. Waddya say, Cleveland?"

"Is it true that you were the only person at the concert who refused to 'wave your hands in the air, and wave 'em like you just don't care'?"

"Which part are you reading for?"

"Give me an F-Hashtag."

"It just seems like all the good roles for women are being taken by all the good female actresses."

"At the conclusion of this evening's concert, ladies and gentlemen, I'll thank you for not forgetting the tip jar."

"This, my only hit record, was written to help me get over a bad breakup. But I'm told that it has also helped move a fair amount of wrinkle-free, flat-front khakis down at the mall."

"How much speech did you take in last month?"

"Don't knock it, man's best-friend is a sweet gig."

"They throw it, I chase it - there are worse gigs."

"Have to run, Al - I've got an accounting gig at two."

"They don't care what Folkways is paying. They won't play after the moon sets."

"I'v got this center-of-the-universe gig."

"Oh, fabulous. I see that my cult is here again tonight."

"Seriously? Broadway showtunes?"

"Hey, pal, let's hear 'Doggie in the Window' again, and this time play it like you mean it!"

"In a front-end collision, the horse will absorb most of the impact."
