“You don’t understand. Johnny Fontane never gets that movie. That part is perfect for him. It’ll make him a big star. I’m gonna run him out of the movies. And let me tell you why.

She was beautiful! She was young, she was innocent. She was the greatest piece of ass I’ve ever had, and I’ve had ‘em all over the world.”
