Day for night (1973) - François Truffaut



Ferrand (director): The Godfather is showing all over Nice, and it's killing the other movies.


Joelle (director's assistant) : I might quit a guy for a movie, but I'd never quit a movie for a guy!


Ferrand : Tell him I speak English, but I don't understand it.


Ferrand : Making a film is like a stagecoach ride in the old west. When you start, you are hoping for a pleasant trip. By the halfway point, you just hope to survive.


Ferrand: Listen, it's very simple. We'll stop and begin shooting again when you find me a cat who knows how to act!


[repeated line]
Alphonse (actor) : Are women magic?
