THE LINE: “I move around a lot, not because I’m looking for anything really, but ’cause I’m getting away from things that get bad if I stay.”
THE FILM: In this 1970 drama, Nicholson plays a former classical musician—who can easily play the five pieces possibly referenced in the title—who works on an oil field but has to come to terms with his hoity-toity family, the people and life he ran away from. Nicholson was nominated for an Oscar for the role.
