Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Father : How many times am I going to tell you?

  Gene Krupa : Papa.

  Father : How many times? Banging on pots and pans and garbage can covers wasn't enough noise for you. And driving us all crazy by playin' on the washboard with mother's thimble. That was not enough noise either.

  Gene Krupa : But it doesn't have to be noise. There's music in drums, Papa. I know there is.
