Quotes 

• Jimmy Chase : Hey, you're Martin Scorsese!

  Alan Rudolph : No, but I know Harvey Keitel.

  Jimmy Chase : Of course you do! Hey, I loved Cape Fear!

• Walter Stuckel : Pictures they make these days are all MTV: cut, cut, cut. The opening shot of Welles' Touch of Evil was 6 and a half minutes long.

  Jimmy Chase : [amazed]  6 and a half minutes long?

  Walter Stuckel : 3 or 4 anyway. He set up the whole picture with that one tracking shot. My father was the key grip on that shoot.

  Jimmy Chase : Hey, what about Absolute Beginners? That was an extraordinary shot!

  Walter Stuckel : What the hell was that? Never heard of it.

  Jimmy Chase : It's Julien Temple. It's an English movie.

  Walter Stuckel : We're talking about American movies. Orson Welles was a master!

• Walter Stuckel : My old man worked for Hitchcock on Rope. It was a masterpiece. Story wasn't any good. Shot the whole thing without cuts. I hate all this cut-cut-cut.

  Jimmy Chase : Oh yeah? Well, what about Bertolucci and that great tracking shot with Winger in Sheltering Sky.

  Walter Stuckel : I didn't see it.
