Legs McNeil:
[Talking about a new magazine] Cool, I can be like the editor, or something.

John Holmstrom:
No. I'm the editor and the illustrator.

Legs McNeil:
Whoa... what does that leave me?

John Holmstrom:
You're just a punk.

Hilly Kristal:
What kind of music do you play?

Terry Ork:
Ohmmmm... new music.

Hilly Kristal:
[Being introduced to the Ramones] What do you guys have for me?

Joey Ramone:
We got four songs. I don't wanna walk around with you, I don't wanna be learned, I don't wanna be tamed and I don't wanna go down to the basement.

Hilly Kristal:
Lot of things you don't wanna do.

Hilly Kristal:
[Talking to The Ramones] Nobody will like you!

Genya Ravan:
What the f*** it's that?

Cheetah Chrome:
What?

Genya Ravan:
Get rid of those f***ing things.

Stiv Bators:
They just stickers.

Genya Ravan:
Hilly, your manager, the guy who is footing the bill for this, is Jewish. Me, your producer, I'm Jewish. And the guy who owns this studio, who is doing us a favor by letting us recording at this ridiculous prices, he's got numbers tattooed in his arm. Do you know what that means?

Cheetah Chrome:
Not really.

Genya Ravan:
Auschwitz. Hitler. Nazis. Now get rid of those f***ing swastikas.

Hilly Kristal:
Where are you guys from?

Cheetah Chrome:
Cleveland, sir.

Hilly Kristal:
Well, I'm impressed with the youth of Cleveland.

Cheetah Chrome:
You shouldn't be.

Hilly Kristal:
Why not?

Cheetah Chrome:
Lot of losers.
