[Kyle runs into back of a guy's car and a crowd gathers.] Driver: Didn't you see the stop sign?! Kyle Davidson: That's my song! Driver: Well, that's my car! Kyle Davidson: That's my song playing on the radio! Driver: You wrote that song? Kyle Davidson: Yeah! Bystander: You're a better songwriter than you are a driver. Kyle Davidson: That's my song! Bystander: That song's all right. Kyle Davidson: Kinda makes ya wanna pat your foot, doesn't it? Bystander: You shoulda patted the brake one time. Kyle Davidson: That's my song!

Kyle Davidson: You want me to tell you how I feel about you? Miranda Presley: Yeah. Kyle Davidson: Okay, okay. Uh, sometimes you hear a song on the radio and it's just the song you want to hear right then, and then it's over and you're just glad you heard it. Miranda Presley: And I'm like that song? Kyle Davidson: No, you're nothing like that song. You're like if that was the only song in the world that I could hear for the rest of my life. You're that song.
