Matinee - Harnessing Fear for Entertainment Opportunities
Howard:
The country is on red alert. People are already scared.
Lawrence Woolsey: [Woolsey steps on a malted milk ball]
Exactly! What a perfect time to open a new horror movie. Think of it, my friend. Millions of people looking over their shoulder, waiting for God's other shoe to drop, never knowing if each kiss, each sunset... ...each malted milk ball might be their last.

The Howling - A Mysterious Encounter Between Two Characters
Eddie Quist:
Hello, bright boy.
Chris Dugan:
Eddie?
Eddie Quist:
You know me, and I don't know you. Now why is that?
Chris Dugan:
Where is she?
Eddie Quist:
Why? Is she your girlfriend?
Chris Dugan:
Just answer the question. Where's Terry?
Eddie Quist:
Just down the ritual center, down the path. That's where Wagner sends us to, uh, unwind. He's so repressed.
Chris Dugan:
What did you do to her?
Eddie Quist: [points to tape recorder; sounds of growling and screaming; sound of Terry screaming]
Why tell you, when I can show you. She's got a sexy voice. I like a woman with a sexy voice. I, uh...listen to this part here.
Chris Dugan:
You're crazy!
Eddie Quist: [hands Chris his rifle; pats his chest]
Oh, I'm much more than that, bright boy. I'm much more. Here. Take it. For all the good it'll do you. Call it a gift. Come on. Come on, bright boy. Lay one on me. Don't you know anything?

The Howling - Eddie's Reflection on Reality and Connection
Eddie Quist:
She didn't feel a thing, Karen. None of them do. They're not...real, the people here. They're...they're dead. They can never be like me. But you're different, Karen. I watch you on TV. And I know how good I can make you feel. I'm gonna light up your whole body, Karen.

The Howling - A Moment of Trust and Revelation
Eddie Quist: [pulling the bullet from his fractured skull out of the hole it left in his head; pulls out a piece of his brain]
You said on the phone that you wanted to get to know me. Well, here I am, Karen. Look at me. I want to give you a piece of my mind. I trusted you, Karen. You can trust me now.

Hail, Caesar! - Discussion on Fair Depiction of Christ
Eddie Mannix:
We don't need to agree on the nature of the deity here. If we could focus on the Christ, whatever his parentage. My question is: is our depiction fair?
Eastern Orthodox Clergyman:
I have seen worse.
Eddie Mannix:
Reverend?
Protestant Clergyman:
There's nothing to offend a - reasonable man.
Eddie Mannix:
Father?
Catholic Clergyman:
The motion picture teleplay was respectful and exhibited tastefulness and class.
Rabbi:
Who made you an expert all of the sudden?
Eddie Mannix:
And, what do you think, Rabbi?
Rabbi:
Eh? I haven't an opinion.

Hail, Caesar! - Unity in Division: A Theological Discussion
Catholic Clergyman:
It's the foundation of our belief that Christ is most properly referred to as the Son of God. It's the Son of God who takes the sins of the world upon himself, so that the rest of God's children, we imperfect beings, through faith, may enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Eddie Mannix:
So, God is - split?
Catholic Clergyman:
Yes! And no.
Eastern Orthodox Clergyman:
There is unity in division.
Protestant Clergyman:
And division in unity.
Eddie Mannix:
I'm not sure I follow padre.
Rabbi:
Young man, you don't follow for a very simple reason. These men are screwballs.

Hail, Caesar! - The Complexity of Christ's Nature
Eddie Mannix:
As for the religious aspect, does the depiction of Christ Jesus cut the mustard?
Catholic Clergyman:
Well, the nature of Christ is not quite as simple as your photoplay would have it.
Eddie Mannix:
How so, father?
Catholic Clergyman:
It's not the case, simply, that Christ is God or God - Christ.
Rabbi:
You can say that again! The Nazarene was not God.
Eastern Orthodox Clergyman:
He was not not God.
Rabbi:
He was a man.
Protestant Clergyman:
Part God.
Rabbi:
No, sir!
Eddie Mannix:
Rabbi, all of us have a little bit of God in us, don't we?
