- Sir, what if a writer is attempting to create a story where nothing much happens? Where people don't change, they don't have any epiphanies. They struggle and are frustrated, and nothing is resolved. More a reflection of the real world.
- Are you out of your fucking mind?
- Are you out of your fucking mind? (mind) - Are you (you) out (out)
- There's genocide, war, corruption. Every fucking day, somewhere in the world somebody sacrifices his life to save somebody else. Every fucking day, someone somewhere takes a conscious decision to destroy someone else. (Where are we going?) - People are murdered every day (On the sugar seas, on the sugar seas)
(Where are we going?) - People find love. People lose it. For Christ's sake, a child watches a mother beaten to death on the steps of a church. Someone goes hungry. Somebody else betrays his best friend for a woman. If you can't find that stuff in life You, my friend, don't know crap about life! Why the fuck are you wasting my two precious hours with your movie? I don't have any use for it! I don't have any bloody use for it! (On the sugar seas) - If you can't find that stuff in life Then you, my friend, don't know crap about life! (On the sugar seas) (Where are we going?)
- You gotta go back, put in the drama. - I can't go back. I've got pages of false starts and wrong approaches. I'm way past my deadline. - I'll tell you a secret. The last act makes a film. Wow them in the end, and you got a hit. You can have flaws, problems, but wow them in the end and you've got a hit.
