Quote context

[...]

- How's everything?

- Just like show business. There is no business.

- Who's producing this epic?

- Bert Brody. And Lloyd here's going to direct.

- Dix, you've gotta go to work. You've been out of circulation too long.

- Who are you kidding? I need the money and you need the ten percent.

- For me you don't have to go to work. I've got my apartment and my car and my ulcers. Gasoline and milk toast don't cost much.

- I won't work on something I don't like.

- Dix, my boy, how many times must I tell you...?

- I know. 'It's just another picture.'

- Well, are you in any position to be choosy? You haven't written a hit since before the war. And your last picture...

- So it stunk. Everybody makes flops except you. You haven't had one because you've made and remade the same picture for the last 20 years.

- You know what you are? You're a popcorn salesman.

- That's right. So are you. The only difference between us is that I don't fight it.

I want some orange juice, eggs over easy, bacon, toasted muffin, strawberry jam and lots of coffee. -What, no caviar?

I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me.
