flashback42 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks, Mr.6s. Next (and I hope this is in the correct spirit of the thread): "You really like rain" Who to whom? One question, Notan: Is the quote you posed from a script or performance? There are two other threads that handle such material. This thread is mostly devoted to comments from other sources. Interviews, talk show guest shots, news blurbs, even biographies or autobiographies are the sources of most of the material on this thread. Is that the kind of source your material is from?

The quote is not from a movie, but from a conversation between two well-known film folk. From the way you described the thread's criteria, I think the quote will fit right in.
