Trumbo

Frank King:
Are you f***ing with me? Because if you are, I WILL f*** you.

Dalton Trumbo:
I've heard that line before. [beat] It sounded better in prison.

Dalton Trumbo:
[V.O] What the imagination can't conjure, reality delivers with a shrug.

Frank King:
I'm in this for the money and the p*ssy and they're both falling off the trees!

Frank King:
I make crap films. You are way too good and too expensive to write for me.

Frank King:
So, you're saying that you want to give me a script and I'll pay you and you don't want your name on it?

Dalton Trumbo:
No, you don't want my name on it.

Frank King:
Okay then.

Kirk Douglas:
You go and ask the studio how they would like having to reshoot this movie without me because for better or for worse I AM SPARTACUS.

Dalton Trumbo:
Friends? What friends? Who the hell has the luxury of friends? I've got allies and enemies. There's no room for anything else.

Frank King:
[shouting furiously] Wanna keep me from hiring union? I'll go downtown, hire a bunch of winos and hookers. It doesn't matter. I make garbage! You wanna call me a pinko in the papers? Do it! None of the people that go to my f***ing movies can read!

Dalton Trumbo:
[Presenting his new script to the producers] Oh, one problem though.

Hymie King:
Expensive?

Dalton Trumbo:
Worse. It's good.

Dalton Trumbo:
[challenging John Wayne] If you're gonna talk about World War II as if you personally won it, let's be clear where you were stationed - on a film set, shooting blanks, wearing makeup, and if you're going to hit me, I'd like to take off my glasses.

Niki Trumbo:
We're having birthday cake.

Dalton Trumbo:
When you hear me working, you don't knock.

Niki Trumbo:
But it's my birthday.

Dalton Trumbo:
You don't knock. Ever.

Niki Trumbo:
So the house is on fire, you don't wanna know?

Dalton Trumbo:
I work in a bathtub, surrounded by water. So I'm fairly certain that even if the whole goddamn country was on fire, that I can still function as this family's personal slave. And all I ask is not to be interrupted for every little slice of f***ing birthday cake. What? It's ridiculous!
