Dirk Diggler: Look, man, all we need is the tapes, alright?
Record Producer: No. You don't get the tapes until you've paid.
Dirk Diggler: In our situation, that doesn't make any **** sense.
Reed Rothchild: Look, we cannot pay for the tapes unless we take the tapes to the record company and get paid.
Dirk Diggler: Hello? Exactly.
Record Producer: That's not an MP, that's a YP, your problem. Come up with the money, or forget it.
Reed Rothchild: Okay, now you're talking above my head. I don't know all of this industry jargon, YP, MP, whatever. All I know is that I can't get a record contract, we cannot get a record contract unless we take those tapes to the record company. And granted, the tapes themselves are a uh um oh, you own them, all right, but the magic that is on those tapes. That **** heart and soul that we put onto those tapes, that is ours and you don't own that. Now I need to take that magic and get it over the record company. And they're waiting for us, we were supposed to be there a half hour ago. We look like assholes, man.
Dirk Diggler: Let me explain to him in simple arithmetic. One, two three! Because you don't ****in' get it, Burt! You give us the tapes, we get the record contract, we come back and give you your ****in' money. Have you heard the tapes? Have you even heard them? We're guaranteed a record deal. Our stuff is that good!
Record Producer: Now I get it. Now I understand. You want it to happen...but it's not going to happen. Because it's a Catch-22.
Dirk Diggler: What the **** does that mean? What is a Catch-22, Burt?
Record Producer: Catch-22, gentlemen. Think about it.
[pause]
Dirk Diggler: You know what I'm thinking about, man? I'm thinking about kicking some ****in' ass!
Record Producer: No. You don't get the tapes until you've paid.
