The job is a meat grinder. It makes you stressed and panicked and miserable. One week you’re looking your idol in the eye and breaking his heart, and the next week you’re writing a blank check for some entitled nepo baby in a beanie. But when it all comes together, and you make a good movie, it’s good forever.[to Matt]
It’s the most unsatisfying thing about being an executive. Your name is nowhere on the film.[to Matt]
You’re not as dumb as you look. No, which is not saying much considering how dumb you look.[Patty Leigh]You know, Patty, you were lot nicer when you were an alcoholic.[Sal Saperstein]Well, it’s a good thing I’m sober now.[Patty Leigh]
Trust me. If it was up to me, we’d be focusing on making the next Rosemary’s Baby or Annie Hall or, you know, some great film that wasn’t directed by a f***ing pervert.[Matt Remick]Turns out perverts make great movies.[Quinn Hackett]They really do.[Matt Remick]
Oh, you poor thing. You have to kill Martin Scorsese’s movie. I killed one of Warren’s movies in ’88 and he never slept with me again.[to Matt]
No matter how many movies you’ve seen, you never forget that first one.
It’s tough when, you know, all the odds are stacked against you and you just gotta keep showing up and keep a brave face.
It was honestly the worst moment of my professional life. And since I have no, you know, real personal life, it makes it just the worst moment of my life.
Watch now on:
I’m about to get promoted or fired, but if I get this job, I’m bumping you up to creative executive.[Matt Remick]Holy s***. I thought you only ever said that so I wouldn’t quit.[Quinn Hackett]I did, but I also meant it.[Matt Remick]
I just don’t get it. If it’s so personal to him, why did he make it so f***ing boring? It’s literally insane.[Matt Remick]He is insane. He’s an artist. Matty, you know this. They put themselves into things. They project meaning onto their work, even if it’s imperceivable to anyone else other than them.[Patty Leigh]
How can we miss you if you won’t go away?[to Matt]
As a leader, sometimes you have to make people hate you to get the best work out of them. It sucks, but I can relate.[to Sal]
