片中那位挑战1900，还大言不惭的说是他发明Jazz的那位仁兄在历史上确有其人，他就是Jelly Roll Morton。《The Crave》本来就是他的作品。在电影里饰演Jelly Roll Morton的那位Clarence Williams III，他父亲Clarence Williams也是早期Jazz的重要人物之一。据说是第一位在谱子上使用Jazz这个字眼的人。
1900：That wasn't the problem. It wasn't what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn't see. You understand that? What I didn't see...In all that sprawling city, there was everything except an end. There was no end. What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end, the end of the world.
Take a piano. Keys begin, keys end. You know there are 88 of them, nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite, you are infinite. And on those keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by. You get me up on that gangway and you roll out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions of billions of keys that never end and that's the truth, Max, and they never end, that keyboard is infinite. If that keyboard is infinite, on that keyboard there's no music you can play. You're sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano.
Did you see the streets, just the streets? There were thousands of them! How do you do it down there, how do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die. All that world just weighing down on you don't even know where it comes to an end. Aren't you ever just scared of breaking you apart and just thought of it, the enormity of living in it?
I was born on this ship, and the world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time. And there were wishes here, but never more than fit between prow and stern. You played out your happiness but on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way. Land? Land is a ship too big for me, it's a woman too beautiful, it's a voyage too long, perfume too strong. It's music I don't know how to make. I can never get off this ship. At best, I can step off my life. After all, I don't exist for anyone. You're exception, Max. You're the only one who knows I'm here. You're a minority, and you'd better get used to it. Forgive me, my friend, but I'm not getting off.
