Purple Rain (1984)

Billy Sparks: Billy

Quotes 

• Billy : Nobody digs your music but yourself!

• Billy : [irked by the Revolution's performance of "Darling Nikki"]  What the fuck wrong with you, Kid?

  The Kid : I don't have time for your bullshit, Billy. What do you want?

  Billy : I told you before, this stage is no place for your personal shit, man!

  The Kid : That's life, man.

  Billy : Life, my ass, motherfucker! This is a business, and you ain't too far gone to see that yet! I told you before, you're not packin' them in like you used to. Nobody digs your music but yourself.

  The Kid : FUCK OFF!

  Billy : Yeah, okay. Just like your old man.

  [Kid gives Billy an offended look] 

  Billy : Yeah, you got it! Tell me I'm wrong! You're not blind! Look around you. No one's diggin' you. Oh, buddy, what a fuckin' waste. But, like father, like son...

  The Kid : [pointing at Billy]  Lay off that.

  Billy : Let me give you some good advice, junior: your music makes sense to no one... but yourself.

• [casually warning the Kid after Apollonia 6 performs "Sex Shooter" to wild applause] 

  Billy : Morris is squeezing you, kiddo. You better kick ass tomorrow night or else.
