Daniel Neiden: Del

Quotes 

• Del : [first lines] 

  Del : [tentatively trying out song lyrics]  My love for you, is equal to, a worn-out shoe? Nah. A big cow moo? Uh-uh. Some indefinable gunky goo? Yeah!

• Del : Mr. Mayor! How could you eat that adorable and talented hamburger? Didn't you see it dancing around?

• Mayor : Well... he's really quite busy. You know these intellectuals.

  Del : Please! Who?

  Mayor : Some call him a brilliant scholar. Some call him a learned guru, and some call him the all-knowing sage. But most folks call him "The Wise One." Of course, I get to call him Gus.

• Del : Well, Mr. Mega, you may be the richest, most famous grand enchilada, numero uno hitmaker extraordinaire person in the music biz, but I just met some people in a little town you never heard of called Flooby Nooby. And they showed me something even you don't know. What's important is not how much money you make or how many people you impress, but what's inside here in your heart. And if you listen to that voice deep inside, then nothing is impossible.

• Del : Oh, please... Wise One... tell me how to write the perfect song.

  Wiseone : My poor, wandering pilgrim, the true path is not to be found outside, but within you. You must be cleansed. And when you have made your soul calm and pure, the proper road to enlightenment will be revealed before your eyes. Discover the purity of perfection, not the perfection of purity. Remember my son, just as one slice into a loaf of bread produces two pieces, you must multiply your wisdom.
