[after watching a sound test]Al Zimmer: Don't laugh, George. That's the future!
George: If that's the future, you can have it!
Al Zimmer: You and I belong to another era, George. The world is talking now. People want new faces, talking faces. I wish it wasn't like this, but the public wants fresh meat and the public is never wrong.
George: I'm the one people come to see. They never needed to hear me! Make your talking movies. I'll make a great movie. And it's not like I need you for that!
