The Offer
Thursdays on Paramount+The Offer Season 1 Episode 4: "The Right Shade of Yellow" Quotes
Al: What a great part. Sorry, we had to leave early.
Bob: Well, to be honest, I'm surprised you made it at all, what with literally zero cast and more budget concerns. [interruption] Look, producer's tip 101. If your movie's on shaky ground, do not bring that vibe to another man's premiere. Just, no.
Al: Marlon Brando is interested.
Bob: Brando?
Al: Yeah. Now I got your attention.
Bob: Yeah, for all the wrong reasons. Brando's a fuckin' nightmare, box-office poison, just a very difficult human being. Look, do you want my advice?
Al: Always.
Bob: Don't waste your time. There's plenty of other good actors out there. just move on to someone realistic. And use Andrea. She knows what she's doing, man.
Brando: You'd like to know my motivation for being here, sitting with you.
Al: You like the part.
Brando [chuckles]: Sinatra hated that I sang Luck Be a Lady in Guys and Dolls. He hates The Godfather. So, I thought I'd piss 'im off. [chuckles] That's the real reason. It's not for the money.
Francis: Holy shit. Tissue paper and shoe polish, and Brando disappears!
Mario [laughing]: He's a genius!
Al: Francis, you're actually smiling.
Francis: Let me tell you something. John Ford, he once said that you make one for them and you make one for yourself. Well, guess what? I just realized that the one I'm making for them could be the best one I'm makin' for myself.
I'll tell you what. Ol' blue eyes better start usin' that microphone for singing or I'm going to strangle him with it.
Colombo
Charlie: A word to the wise, Ruddy. When you fail alone, there's no one else to blame.
Al: That's the only way I want it.
Bettye: What happened?
Al: We got the Staten Island house back.
Bettye: OK.
Al: Colombo bullied the owner into giving it back to us. The guy pissed himself he was so scared. He thought they were gonna fuckin' kill 'im. So did I, actually. [lights a cigarette] I've never felt so dirty in my life.
Bettye: Why would you ask him for help?
Al: I didn't. He overheard Francis tell me about it. The last thing I want is to be in his debt, trust me. I can't get the picture of that guy out of my head.
It's what the movie needs.
Al
