What does Tom Hanks mean
when he says: " I am quiet, but not quiet, if I may offer a riddle?" ????
shareHe was implying he wouldn't be a loud and annoying tenant but also that he intended band rehersals which would make noise. It wasn't a specially important line.

He meant that he would be quite in terms of the amount of noise he made despite being "loud" in his activities.
ie: He may seem to be doing nothing or simply playing music when in actual fact he is very busy digging tunnels and robbing the casino.
