Al: So we don't have to set this in present day.
Bob: Ruddy, how'd you get into my office?
Al: What do you mean?
Bob: You got in because you did something that's not done. You saw something that you wanted, and you went for it. Whoosh. You and I are not like these corporate fucks. We don't play by the book, we write the fuckin' book. Now, you want to be a great producer, you do whatever it takes to get the movie made the way you want to do it. Now, you want New York. Go there. Make some deals. Prove that you can do it for the money. Beg, borrow, I don't give a fuck. Steal. You do whatever it takes. Now, you don't have a long track record, but ya got brains, and ya got balls. Try using both, preferably at the same time.
