- Doolittle Lynn: Deal is, Loretta, you can sing in every little honky tonk in the country. There's thousands doing it and they ain't getting nowhere and they never will. The thing that's gonna give you the edge is getting yourself a record. And the next step's even more important than that and that's getting people to play the dad-burned thing, but right now what you and me have to worry about... is you making the best doggone record you can, it all depends on that, darling.
- Loretta Lynn: Boy, Doo, I didn't know you knew so much about the music business.
- Doolittle Lynn: I don't. I'm just figuring it out as I go along, listening to people talk.
