"Everybody makes their own fun. If you don't make it yourself, it's entertainment."--Ann Black (Rebecca Pidgeon) to Joseph Turner White (Philip Seymour Hoffman)

Joseph Turner White: How do I do a film called "The Old Mill" when I don't have an old mill?
Ann Black: Well, first you've got to change the title.

  
5
Walt Price: Who designed these costumes? It looks like Edith Head puked, and that puke designed these costumes.

Joseph Turner White: What's an associate producer credit?
Bill Smith: It's what you give to your secretary instead of a raise.

Walt Price: This is what my people died for... the right to make a movie in this town.

  
15
Walt Price: What does he like?
Bill Smith: 14-year-old girls.
Walt Price: Well, get him something else. We want to get out of this town alive. Get him half a 28-year-old girl. How's my math?

  
16
Ann Black: "If you were never down, how would you know when you were up?"
Joe White: You have a gift for words.
Ann Black: It's in your play.

  
17
Marty Rossen: Get him some... Maple syrup.
Walt Price: Maple syrup. Grows on trees.

Ann Black: It was either that, or a sardine.

  
24
Bunky: Well, it takes all kinds.
Spud: That's what it takes? I always wondered what it took.

  
25
Marty Rossen: If your memory was as long as your dick, you'd be in good shape.

  
26

Marty Rossen: She wants $800,000 to show her tits.

  
27

29
Walt Price: Hey, did you see the grosses for Gandhi 2?
