Manny: Oh, good. It's still in one piece. You hit those potholes pretty hard. It's like you didn't see 'em.
Jay: No, I saw 'em.
Manny: Can I be honest with you, Jay? I'm getting the sense that you're not the biggest fan of "Allegria"?
Jay: You got a name for it now? Great. All right. Cards on the table? This is not your best work. Now look, don't get me wrong. You're a talented kid. You're gonna be a big success in the world. But this this is a swing and a miss.
Manny: Well, but my mom said it was-
Jay: It's great, yeah, I know. But how did she say it?
Manny: What do you mean?
Jay: There's a big difference between "It's great," and "It's great." You hear that? "It's great," and "It's great."
Manny: All I hear is a bunch of people telling me I'm great.
Jay: And that's a problem, because a lot of times people will lie to you to protect your feelings, and that's not doing you any favors. You get a lot farther in life if you know what you're good at and what you're not. Now you can handle that, right?
