Dominic character: Lewis

Lewis: Well, well.. look who darkens our door yet again. Mr Sand... take a seat...

George: I believe this project will make my name as a filmmaker.
Lewis:[not enthused] A last ditch stand for art. Superb. But remember, Mr Sand, some filmmakers are born, some are made and some are neither.

Lewis: A film about filmmaking, how thrilling.

Lewis: A feature film for $70,000, proposterous!
Max (Ian McNeice): Oh it's possible, Rugglesworth, but you get what you paid for.

Rosemary: Sometimes we don't make the films.. the films make us.
[cut back to pitch meeting]
Lewis: 'The films make us'? People don't actually talk that way in real life, Mr Sand.
George: Rosemary did. She was like a mysterious, dangerous flower. Of course, I was curious about her work, but her film was, unfortunately, not scheduled until the final night.
Lewis: That is unfortunate, as I doubt we'll actually reach the final night...

Lewis: Listen Max, I'm feeling a bit nauseous, feel free to continue without me.
Max: Yes, I'll come with you..

[after all the filmmakers sit around discussing who would play them in different versions of their lives... the all-black version, the foreign film version etc]
Lewis: Yes, and no doubt in the Merchant Ivory version of our lives we'd all like to be played by Emma Thompson.
Jane: Speak for yourself, Lewis.
Lewis: [getting back on subject] But what precisely is your point, Mr Sand?

Lewis: And there we have it! Congratulations, Mr Sand, you have now broken every single tenet of documentary filmmaking. That was the last one, number 54, 'documentary filmmaker shall not enter film into film festival he is documenting'!
George: But it made perfect sense! In order to understand the thinking of the finalists, and the killer, I would have to become one myself.... a finalist, that is.

Lewis: I grant you, Mr Sand, you spin a nice tail, but unfortunately for you, I've seen some footage that tells a very different story. Would you please show in the other gentleman.
[in comes teenager who decided to shoot a documentary about George's documentary]

Dominic character: Steve

Steve: You know, maybe he got scared. He always did strike me as the nervous type.
Paula: You don't just take off from a 5 way cut of 8.7 million dollars!

Steve: So what, he didn't say nuthin' at the casino?
Paula: No. he didn't show up for work, so they fired him.

Steve: We really oughta go back and take another look.
Muscles: I'm telling ya, there's no way in hell he had that key on him.
Steve: Yeah, well, we forgot to check the soles of his shoes...

Floyd (Rod Steiger): Oh, there's one more thing I'd like to say. I cannot believe that a bunch of swell guys like you, could be so DUMB, as to not to find a more civilised way of settling your differences.
Steve: Just what exactly are you talking about? You know, we have no idea what happened to Tino. You know, he just came by to say hi and then he left. We haven't seen him since.

Tom (Tom Berenger): ...Quite a coincidence.
Steve: Hey, are you making some kind of charges, I wanna call my lawyer, right away, okay?

Steve: That's too bad, huh. Lousy timing.
Tom: Lousy for Tino, maybe, but not so lousy for you. You boys also got a big PAY DAY coming up?
Steve: What the f**k?

Steve: Who the f**k do you think you're talking to.
Floyd: I'm talking to you, that's who I'm talking to, an idiot who is dumb enough to think he can get away with murdering a so called best friend. That's who I'm talking to.
Steve: Hey, you know what? You guys have got nuthin' on us, so stop throwing around these bulls**t accusations, uh. You got nuthin' better to do?

Steve: Look, Tino just showed up here, out of the blue, we had a bite to eat and then he split, that was it...nono wait, no, I just remembered, no, we saw him later that night at that place... yeah the bar Marmar on sunset.
Tom: Ah ha! ... Was he alone?
Steve: No, he was with some black guy.
Floyd: Was he gay too?
Steve: [sarcastic] I didn't get a chance to ask 'im.
Floyd: You think you could identify him?
Steve Aw, forget about it, it was doggone dark in that f**king bar, it could have been anyone.
Tom: Are you racist?
Steve: WHAT? ... No I'm f**king republican, how about you?

Rodney: Check my car, it's immaculate, there'd be blood stains or something.
Tom: So you cleaned it up afterwards.
Steve: Heyheyhey, didn't you say you took it into the car wash the next day?
Rodney: What you talking about? You said my car was dirty yourself, I drove it from Las Vegas through the fricking desert, you weasel.

Steve: Hey, who gives a s**t about your f**king cholesterol. Jesus, what'd you want from us ma.. man...
[Kage (Burt Reynolds) moves forward and pushes his forehead to Steve's to push him back and to sit down]
Kage: You still don't get it, do you.

Steve: ...I tell ya, you're a goddamn pushover. Hey let me tell you this now for nuthin'. No b**ch is ever gonna make a f***ing fool outta me, that's for sure.
[Rodney grabs Steve's gun from his holster]
Rodney: Keep your mouth shut you, you obnoxious, little punk!
Steve: Woahwoah! Come on Rodney, cool it man. Come on Rodney, use your head for once, put the gun away. Jeezus, we don't want no accidents here now do we.
Rodney: What'd you do with him?
Steve: Nuthin', man, nuthin'!
Rodney: WHAT'D YOU DO TO HIM?

Dominic character: Ian

Ian: We're here but we're not 'here', okay? Try to think of us as... furniture.

Charlotte: He's going to be doing a profile on me for the fashion channel. He'll be following me from now through the spring collection and he'll be covering the wedding as well! Isn't that fabulous?
Michael (Tim Allen): ...There's a fashion channel?
Ian: [insulted] Yeah.

Charlotte: Look at me. I'm smoking.
Ian: The rainforrest is a very hot issue right now. Being associated with this... 'jungle bloke'... it can only help you.
Charlotte: Where is the rainforrest?
Ian: [holds up hand to wait a moment, moves to the door] Brian! Find out where the rainforrest is!

Ian: [to Charlotte, excited] Life happens around you!

Michael: [sarcastic] Ian! Great... I've really missed you.
Ian: Is Charlotte alright? Look... if something dramatic has happened, it should be on film.

Ian: So the appearace of little Mowgli is straining the relationship?
Michael: Ian, you're furniture, and furniture doesn't talk.
Charlotte: Furniture may not talk, Michael, but it listens. Better than you do.

Michael: Tomorrow, just the two of us, head out to our favourite spot, just get to know each other again..
Ian: [with time out hand sign] uh... that's no good for me, darling.
Charlotte: Me neither.
Ian: I really want to film all that, but, I've got an appointment with my chiropractor this weekend. You know how much my bloody back effects my work.
Charlotte: Oh, I know.
Ian: We could do it a week Friday.
Michael: That's not good for me.
Charlotte: But it's good for Ian.
Michael: Well, whatever's good for Ian.
