Conflict Over Creative Limits in Filmmaking

Frank You may be directing this movie, Howard. But what you're asking- we can't do it!

Howard Don't tell me I can't do it; don't tell me it can't be done!

Frank The gyro forces are too much here. You send these planes into simultaneous barrel rolls they won't make it!

Howard It's the goddamn climax of the picture Frank, all right, you make it work! Look, decrease the vertical trajectory if you have to, a Le Rhône rotary won't stall at 60 degrees- I've done it!

Advisor Howard, we need to cut that sequence down, we don't have enough cameras.

Howard No, no we're not cuttin anything! I'll get those extra cameras, set up for rehearsal's in five!

Noah Dietrich Mr. Hughes, I'm Noah Dietrich. Your office said I'd find you here.

Howard Dietrich. You're a man on the come! I read your resume and talked to your references. You know what I'm lookin for?!

Noah Well as I understand it you're looking for a second-in-command at Hughes Tools; someone to oversee the financial aspects of the business-

Howard Yeah, I'm lookin for somebody to run it and do a damn good job. Look, there's really only one thing you gotta know! My folks... they're gone now! So it's my money! Now what I choose to do with that money may seem crazy to those sons-a-bitches in Houston — and I'm sure as hell it does — but it all makes good sense to me, you got that?

Noah Got it.

Howard Good. Now you made what uh... five thousand dollars a year your last job; I'll pay you ten thousand!

Noah Guess I'll be working twice as hard!

Howard You'll be workin four times as hard; I just got you half price, Mr. Dietrich. Welcome aboard. You're my voice now, make em understand that- look, some of those fine folks down there still callin me Junior. You tell em its Mister Hughes now!

Negotiating for Tapes in a Complicated Situation

Dirk Diggler Look, man, all we need is the tapes, alright?

Record Producer No. You don't get the tapes until you've paid.

Dirk Diggler In our situation, that doesn't make any fucking sense.

Reed Rothchild Look, we cannot pay for the tapes unless we take the tapes to the record company and get paid.

Dirk Diggler Hello? Exactly.

Record Producer That's not an MP, that's a YP, your problem. Come up with the money, or forget it.

Reed Rothchild Okay, now you're talking above my head. I don't know all of this industry jargon, YP, MP, whatever. All I know is that I can't get a record contract, we cannot get a record contract unless we take those tapes to the record company. And granted, the tapes themselves are a uh um oh, you own them, all right, but the magic that is on those tapes. That fucking heart and soul that we put onto those tapes, that is ours and you don't own that. Now I need to take that magic and get it over the record company. And they're waiting for us, we were supposed to be there a half hour ago. We look like assholes, man.

Dirk Diggler Let me explain to him in simple arithmetic. One, two three! Because you don't fuckin get it, Burt! You give us the tapes, we get the record contract, we come back and give you your fuckin money. Have you heard the tapes? Have you even heard them? We're guaranteed a record deal. Our stuff is that good!

Record Producer Now I get it. Now I understand. You want it to happen...but it's not going to happen. Because it's a Catch-22.

Dirk Diggler What the fuck does that mean? What is a Catch-22, Burt?

Record Producer Catch-22, gentlemen. Think about it.

Dirk Diggler You know what I'm thinking about, man? I'm thinking about kicking some fuckin ass!

John Lennon Yes, Dewey Cox. With meditation there's no limit to what we can......].

[''glances at camera''; [w:Imagine (song)|''imagine'']

Dewey Cox What do you think, George Harrison, of the Beatles?

George Harrison Well, you know, when you're speaking of transcendentalism, it's like, you know, is it enlightenment? Where do you go? What sort of path do you take? And I just think we're all just sort of drifting about and when you begin to wonder about it, it's as if it doesn't exist in the first place, but then of course, it does. So there to say, I think it's not really more of answer. It's more of a question.

Ringo Starr And as Ringo Starr, I'm not so interested in meditation. I just like to have fun.

[''flashes peace sign'']

Dewey Cox I like the little one.

The Rules of Vampirism Explained

Larten Crepsley Now, are you mentally unfit? Didn't you hear me threaten you at the show?

Steve I did. It was awesome. You see, I want this. I want you to make me into a vampire. Vampires- they don't take crap from anybody. They live by their own set of rules.

Larten Crepsley It's true; they do have their own rules. We wrote some of them.

Gavner Purl And one of those rules is: "Children can't become vampires.

Steve Look- blood!

[Holds out a small cut on his hand]

Larten Crepsley Blood! You see Gavner! Blood... Look. If you become a vampire, you have to leave your friends, and your family; it's deeply depressing. Trust me. Now get out of here!

[Wide-eyed; Crepsley drops the act and gives Steve a deadpan expression.]

Steve I haven't seen my dad in years. My mom's drunk all the time. I absolutely hate my life! I've never actually said it before, but it's the truth. This is what I was meant for.

Larten Crepsley What you were meant for? Well, if that's the case, let's test your blood.

Gavner Purl Larten...

Larten Crepsley Who sent you here? Your blood tastes of evil. You can never be a vampire.

Steve What, I have... bad blood? I'm never gonna forget this. One day, I promise you, I will hunt you down-

[''In disbelief, then anger'']

Larten Crepsley And what? Kill me? You know how easily I could kill you. I could do it tonight. I could knock you out, and lay you in front of a bus, and no one would ever know!
