Ruth Adler quotes from Babylon (2022)

Ruth Adler

How do you do it? Just tear up over and over like it's nothing?

Nellie LaRoy

I just think of home.

Ruth Adler

Man number three, I can see your erection.
Max (Ruth's Assistant Director): All right, tuck it. Just tuck it up.

Ruth Adler

Just, uh, shoot the men.
Max (Ruth's Assistant Director): No tits?

Ruth Adler

No tits.
Max (Ruth's Assistant Director): All right, no tits, everybody! We're shooting the men.

Ruth Adler

Cut! Okay, forgive the ask. This is nuts, but could you by any chance try the same thing with less tears?

Nellie LaRoy

One tear or two...

Ruth Adler

Who the **** is this? I asked for the girl with the tits.

This is who they found.

Ruth Adler

What happened to the tits part?

She OD'd.

Ruth Adler

Tim, you're fired.
Max (Ruth's Assistant Director): You heard her, get the **** off this set!

Scene 17, take seven. Mark. Action. [squeaks]

Nellie

Hello, college.

Nell, your mark!

Nellie

**** this shit!

****. Lloyd. It's a million **** degrees! [the crew shoves Bill back in and shuts the door]

We gotta move the mic. Or you could **** direct her to hit her **** mark. But why is it so **** hard? You're right!

Nellie

I didn't realize we were making Ben-Hur!

I can move it right now. My whole year is wide open. We could shoot this thing through **** New Year's. Wherever the **** those little feet of hers want to go, I can move the mic for them! Okay, calm down! Get off of me! I dare you! I **** dare you! Get off the set! You're good.

Nellie

Un-****-professional!

Okay. Okay, Lloyd, ready to go again? You want me to use this chalk? Make the mark bigger for you?

Ruth

Okay, we're gonna go again. It's fine. No, it's fine.

The mark's right here.

Nellie

I'm gonna kick your **** ass!

Oh, yeah! Come on! Come on! [all shouting]

Can we go? I'm gonna have a **** heart attack in here.

Get back in your **** box, Bill!

I can't even believe this.

Everyone, shut up! Shut the **** up!

Nellie

That's not how we make movies.

Shut the **** up! Now, if anyone stops this scene again, I will shit on you! I will shit in your mouth, I promise you! Is that clear, Lloyd? Is that good for **** sound? Now, we are going again! Camera! And mother**** sound!

Max

Billy! [laughs] Bill! Billy, come on. Bill... Let's get a crowbar. Come on. Hurry up.
