August Rush

 * [in voiceover] Listen. Can you hear it? The music. I can hear it everywhere. In the wind, in the air, in the light. It's all around us. All you have to do is open yourself up. All you have to do is listen.

Dialogue

 * Jeffries: Why is it so important that you want him now?
 * Lyla: I've ALWAYS wanted him! [in tears] I've waited eleven years, two months, and fifteen days just to find out that he's alive! [Jeffries stares at her] [chuckles a little] I've been counting.


 * Wizard: What do you want to be in the world? I mean the whole world. What do you want to be? Close your eyes and think about that.
 * August: Found.
 * Wizard: [pauses] Doesn't have enough yin. Little more yang, ya know?
 * August: Yeah.
