List of voters for the quote

Ed Wood: I'm Ed Wood, I'm here about directing the Christine Jorgensen picture. George Weiss: Well, a couple of things have changed. It ain't gonna be the Christine Jorgensen story no more. Goddamn Variety had to put the story before I got the rights. Now that bitch is asking for the sky. Ed Wood: Oh, you're not gonna make the movie? George Weiss: No, of course I'm gonna make the picture! I already presold Alabama and Oklahoma. Those repressed Okies, they go for that twisted, perverted stuff. We'll just do it without the shemale. We'll fictionalize it. Ed Wood: Is there a script? George Weiss: Fuck, no. But there's a poster. [he holds up a movie poster for "I Changed My Sex"] It opens nine weeks in Tulsa. Ed Wood: Well Mr. Weiss, look no further, I'm your man. I work fast and I'm a deal. I write and direct. And I'm good. I just did a play in Hollywood and Victor Crowley himself praised its realism. George Weiss: There's about 500 guys in this town that could say the same thing. On the phone you said you had some "special qualifications"? Ed: Mister Weiss... I have never told anyone what I'm about to tell you. But I really want this job. [pauses, takes a deep breath] I like to wear women's clothing. George Weiss: You're a fruit? Ed: No, not at all. I love women. Wearing their clothes makes me feel closer to them. George Weiss: You're not a fruit? Ed: No, I'm all man. I even fought in W.W. Two. Of course, I was wearing women's undergarments under my uniform. George Weiss: You gotta be kidding me. Ed: Confidentially, I even paratrooped wearing a brassier and panties. I wasn't afraid of being killed, but I was terrified of being wounded and having the medics discover my secret. George Weiss: So you think this qualifies you to direct my movie? Ed: Yes. I know what it's like to live with a secret and worry what people are gonna think of you. My girlfriend still doesn't know why her sweaters are always stretched out. George Weiss: Ed, you seem like a nice kid, but look around ya. I don't hire directors with burning desires to tell their stories. I make movies like "Chained Girls." I need someone with experience, who can shoot a film in four days, and make me a profit. I'm sorry, that's all that matters.
