    General Comment:i'm pretty sure this song's from that bright eyes movie.....
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
    because it's where the name bright eyes came from, this song's from his early years, and the dialog fits the plot pretty well (i haven't watched it yet, i will soon!

    General Comment:Male - I still don’t like it.
    Male – Alright ___what does that make me?
    Female - That makes you a rotten, spoiled, selfish quitter. You can’t little Nicky(?) after all he’s gone through. ____and I don’t like him one bit. Sorry I even brought it up!
    Male – laughs
    Female – You and Nicky have a falling out today?
    Male – What made you think that?
    Female – Well, you keep looking up at his door…
    Male – Better get you a pair of glasses for those eyes you got in the back of your head.
    Female – Things are gonna get better, don’t you worry.
    Male – Oh did Jed say that? Or are you trying to make me feel better
    Female – It’s the truth. Just wait and see.
    Male - I don't really expect anything that quick (?). Everything he said last night had...(mumbling)

    General Comment:I think the female says "well you keep looking up at her door"

    then the male says "better get you a pair of glasses for those eyes you got in the back of your head"

    at the very end of the song and it's very quiet you can hear a different male voice say "how's it working out for ya kid?" and then the response "what?" and then the male says "learnin how to drive"

    that last little bit is the best part of the song in my opinion, but you have to listen closely for it.

    General Comment:At one point I hear, "you're a rotten spoiled selfish quitter."

    and later I hear, "did you and _____ have a falling out today?"

    "no, why would you say that?"

    then about 10 seconds later, can make out, "things are gonna get better, don't you worry."
