Maury Ginsberg: Piano Tuner God

Quotes 

• Piano Tuner God : Oh, wow, some of these hammers are broken. That's why it doesn't sound right. You can't play all the notes.

  Joan Girardi : Yeah, well, you can raise people from the dead, so just wave your hand and fix the stupid piano.

  Piano Tuner God : You want special effects, rent "Lord of the Rings". I'm a craftsman, and fixing a piano is delicate work. This one has been... badly neglected.

  Joan Girardi : Yeah, well, budget cutbacks. You should see the girls' bathroom.

• Piano Tuner God : Plato said "Music is the essence of order and leads to all that is good, true, and beautiful."

  Joan Girardi : Okay, so now you're quoting Mickey Mouse's dog? Okay.

  Piano Tuner God : No, music... can't be true if some of the notes are silent.

  Joan Girardi : You are like an endless pop quiz. Music is a metaphor for life, for people. Because pretty much everyone I know is missing a few notes.

  Piano Tuner God : I have to go to my truck for new hammers. You should find someplace else to practice.
