"Don’t F--K with my distribution costs!
I’m makin’ a lousy two-fifteen per segment! I’m already deficiting 25 grand a week with Metro! I’m payin’ William Morris
10 percent off the top. And I’m giving this TURKEY ten thousand and five thousand to this FRUITCAKE!
And, Helen, don’t start no shit with me about a piece again I’m payin’ Metro 20 percent for all foreign and Canadian distribution
-- and that’s AFTER recoupment!
The Communist Party won’t see a nickel outta this goddamn show until syndication!"
