Ed Wood: And cut! Print. We're moving on. That was perfect.

Producer: Perfect?! Mr. Wood, do you know ANYTHING about the art of film production?

Ed Wood: Well, I like to think so.

Producer: That cardboard headstone tipped over! This graveyard is obviously phony!

Ed Wood: Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It's about the big picture.

Producer: The big picture?!

Ed Wood: Yes.
