None of your business Quote by George Strait
“The Argument from Pure Country: George: What was Buddy Jackson doing in here? Lula: See you next trip? George: Yeah, See ya next trip. Lula: Since when do you start changin my show? George: Your show? I dont remember seein you out there makin those people scream. Lula: What is your problem Dusty? George: Im tired. Im tired of all the smoke and the lights. It aint me. Lula: Well, its not a cowboy bar with a bunch a drunks sitting around a little stage. This is 20,000 people. They came to see your show, and they want to see a big one. George: Hell, they cant see me for all the smoke and lights. They cant hear me; the musics so damn loud. I stopped singing out there for three bars. Three bars! And nobody even noticed. Lula: What are you trying to say, Dusty? George: Im saying I dont like it! I dont like the sets. I don't like the lights. And I dont like you sneakin' your boyfriend in my bus. And I dont like you crammin' his songs down my throat. He is your boyfriend, isnt he? Lula: My personal life is none of your business anymore. George: Well maybe your business doesnt belong in my show. Lula: If it wasnt for me, you would probably still be singin' in some run-down rat hole for a bunch a fat cowgirls from Iowa. George: Yeah, and if it wasnt for me, youd probably be a waitress there.”
