All's fair in love and theater

Quotes:

Orson Welles: Cinna is Shakespeare's indictment of the intelligentsia. He's a lofty, Byronic figure.

Orson Welles: Where is thou ukulele?::Richard Samuels: I think some asshole... doth... stole it

Orson Welles: Do you know Booth Tarkington's "The Magnificent Ambersons?" Tarkington was a family friend. The character of Eugene, the inventor, is based on my father who died when I was fifteen. My mother when I was nine. "Ambersons" is about how everything gets taken away from you.

Orson Welles: Look at us, Runyon. Me without my story and you without your girl. We can't ever tell what will happen at all, can we? Once I stood in Grand Central Station to say goodbye to a pretty girl. I was wild about her. In fact, we decided we couldn't live without each other, and we were to be married. When we came to say goodbye we knew we wouldn't see each other for almost a year. I thought I couldn't live through it - and she stood there crying. Well, I don't even know where she lives now, or if she is living. If she ever thinks of me at all, she probably imagines I'm still dancing in some ballroom somewhere... Life and money both behave like quicksilver in a nest of cracks. And when they're gone we can't tell where - or what the devil we did with 'em...

John Houseman: This is an infinitely rewarding partnership, Orson. You go around smashing everything, you disenfranchise every friend, every supporter we have. And then I'm left desperately trying to clean up your mess. Because I am the one who ends up making the apologies, making the corrections, and making the ten thousand phone calls...::Orson Welles: And I'm out acting in "The Shadow" and "The March of Time" and every other piece-of-shit radio show in this city, just to pour my money into this son-of-a-bitch theater that you're supposed to be running.::John Houseman: That I'm 'supposed to be running?' I am killing myself trying to run it!

Joseph Cotten: Welcome to quadruple-space, kid.::Richard Samuels: What's quadruple space?::Joseph Cotten: You know in a novel, when the main characters are finally about to shtup? They can't describe it or otherwise they can't print the book. They just go, 'He hugged her hard, and they fell into bed.' Period. Quadruple space.::Norman Lloyd: The next paragraph the sun is rising and the milkman is knocking the bottles together.::Joseph Cotten: All the good stuff happens in the quadruple space.::Norman Lloyd: Fertilizer's hoping to make his next thirty years one long quadruple space.::Joseph Cotten: Forty.

Sonja Jones: Mercury. This is she... Oh, Mr. Ingram, Orson left just two minutes ago... he took an ambulance to beat the traffic... Well, you know, according to Orson there's no law on the books that says you have to be sick to take an ambulance. Of course, that's according to Orson, which probably means it isn't really true but it ought to be...

Richard Samuels: Well, I wish you luck.::Sonja Jones: I won't need luck. I don't believe in luck.::Richard Samuels: I don't think I do anymore, either. It's kind of a relief, isn't it, not believing in luck?::Sonja Jones: I don't want to keep Mr. Selznick, waiting, do I? How do I look?::Richard Samuels: Like a girl who's going to give me one blindingly beautiful parting kiss.

Sonja Jones: Orson wants to stay with me tonight.::Richard Samuels: Stay with you tonight?::Sonja Jones: I'm in no position to refuse.::Richard Samuels: What are you talking about?::Sonja Jones: I have to watch out for myself. That's what my whole life has taught me again and again.

[first lines]::Dr. Mewling: By the year of 1592, Shakespeare was already an actor, and a playwright. Records of how his stage career began have not survived. We do know that in 1594 he joined a theater troupe. Called... anyone remember? Not everyone at once now. The Lord Chamberlain's Men.

How far would you go to become someone else.
Everybody should have one talent... what's yours?
It's better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.

Quotes:

Tom Ripley: I always thought it would be better, to be a fake somebody... than a real nobody.

Peter: Sorry, I'm completely lost.::Tom Ripley: I know. I'm lost, too. I'm going to be stuck in the basement, aren't I, that's my, that's my... terrible, and alone, and dark, and I've lied about who I am, and where I am, and now no-one will ever find me.::Peter: What do you mean... lied about who you are?::Tom Ripley: I always thought it'd be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.::Peter: What are you talking about? You're not a nobody. That's the last thing you are.

Freddie Miles: In fact the only thing that looks like Dickie is you.::Tom Ripley: Hardly.::Freddie Miles: Have you done something to your hair?::Tom Ripley: Freddie, do you have something you'd like to say?::Freddie Miles: What? I think I'm saying it. Something's going on. He's either converted to Christianity... or to something else.::Tom Ripley: I suggest you ask Dickie that yourself. Otello's is on delle Croce, just off the Corso.::Freddie Miles: Is it on "delle Croce, just off the Corso?" You're a quick study, aren't you? Last time you didn't know your ass from your elbow, now you're giving me directions. That's not fair, you probably do know your ass from your elbow. I'll see you.

[first lines]::Tom Ripley: If I could just go back... if I could rub everything out... starting with myself.

Dickie Greenleaf: Everybody should have one talent, what's yours?::Tom Ripley: Forging signatures, telling lies... impersonating practically anybody.::Dickie Greenleaf: That's three, nobody should have more than one talent.

Tom Ripley: [imitating Dickie's father] "Oh yes, Jazz... it's just insolent noise."::Dickie Greenleaf: I feel like he's here. Horrible. Like the old bastard is here right now! [pause in disbelief, Dickie moves in to hold Tom's hand] Brilliant. How do you know him ?

Dickie Greenleaf: You know, without the glasses you're not even ugly.

Meredith: [sheepish] I'm sorry, I wouldn't have made a joke if...::Tom Ripley: [cuts her off] Don't be sorry. I've never been happier. I feel like I've been handed a new life.

Tom Ripley: You're the brother I never had. I'm the brother you never had. I would do anything for you, Dickie.

Tom Ripley: First of all I know there's something. That evening when we played chess for instance it was obvious.::Dickie Greenleaf: What evening?::Tom Ripley: Oh sure, no, no, it's too dangerous for you to take on. Oh, no, no, we're brothers. Hey. And then you do this sordid thing with Marge. Fucking her on the boat while we all have to listen. Which was excruciating, by the way! And you follow your cock around and now you're getting married! I'm bewildered, forgive me. You're lying to Marge and then you're getting married to her. You're knocking up Silvana. You're ruining everybody. You wanna play the sax, you wanna play the drums. What is it, Dickie? What do you actually play?::Dickie Greenleaf: Who are you? Huh? Some third class mooch? Who are you? Who are you to say anything to me? I really, really don't want to be on this boat with you right now. I can't move without you moving. Gives me the creeps. [enraged by his on-the-fly suspicions] You give me the creeps!
