A scene from Boogie Nights 1997
Jack Horner

But you gotta get the people in the theater. You know, you need the big dicks, the big tits...

Amber Waves

Uh oh, here we go.

Jack Horner

How do you keep them in the theater after they've come? The beauty and the acting. No, I understand you've got to get 'em in the theater. You know, you've got to get the seats full. But I don't want to make a film where they show up, they sit down, they jack off, and they get up and they get out before the story ends. It is my dream, it is my goal, it is my idea to make a film where the story just sucks them in. And when they spurt out that joy juice, they've got to just sit in it. They can't move until they find out how the story ends. You know, I want to make a film like that. And I understand, they have to make films...I've made them myself, you know where there's a few laughs, everyone ****s their brains out. And that's fine. But it's my dream to make a film that is true and right and dramatic.
