The Stunt Man
1980
Cameron: Hey, I know you, you're in the movies. Nina: I *am* the movies.
Eli Cross: Do you not know that King Kong the first was just three foot six inches tall? He only came up to Faye Wray's belly button! If God could do the tricks that we can do he'd be a happy man!
Eli Cross: If you cooperate, you'll receive a first-class ticket to Amsterdam where you can stick your finger in a dike.
Eli Cross: Nina the actress so fair / Who fancied a man with blond hair. / But Raymond discovers / As he lifts up the covers / That his double - young "Lucky"- is there
Eli Cross: Would you tell the chief of police that Burt here was so busy being brilliant that he wouldn't have noticed sweet Jesus Christ walking across the water.
Eli Cross: (after a cameraman says cut because there's only 22 seconds of film left) In 22 seconds, I could break your fucking spine. In 22 seconds, I could pinch your head off like a fucking insect and spin it all over the fucking pavement. In 22 seconds, I could put 22 bullets inside your ridiculous gut. What I seem unable to do in 22 seconds is to keep you from fucking up my film.
Eli Cross: He's a hopeless yo-yo, Jake, but he's not dead... YET!
Cameron: I knew daredevils, and I ain't got nothin' against them, it's just they're all dead.
