7 scenes Mr. Reynolds Mr. Reynolds [The Baptists object to Tor Johnson's speaking part.]
Why does he have all the lines? The man's unintelligible!
Look, Lugosi's dead and Vampira won't talk. I had to give somebody the dialogue!
Mr. Reynolds Before we begin shooting Mr. Wood, we have a few questions.
Yes. The script contains numerous references to grave robbing. Now we find the concept of digging up concecrated ground to be highly offensive. It is blasphemy.
What are you talking about? It's the premise of the movie. It's the title of the movie, for Christ's sake!
But Mr. Wood!
Mr. Reynolds Yes, about that title, it strikes us as very inflammatory. Why don't we change it to "Plan 9 From Outer Space?"
Ha! That's ridiculous.
Mr. Reynolds "Perfect?" Mister Wood, do you know anything about the art of film production?
Well, I like to think so!
Mr. Reynolds That cardboard headstone tipped over. This graveyard is obviously phoney.
Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It's about the big picture.
Mr. Reynolds The big picture?
Yes!
Mr. Reynolds Then how about when the policemen arrived in daylight, but, now it's suddenly night?
What do you know? Haven't you heard of suspension of disbelief?
Mr. Reynolds [The Baptists object to Tor Johnson's speaking part.]
What'd you give him all the lines for? He's unintelligible!
Look, Lugosi's dead and Vampira won't talk. I had to give somebody the dialogue!
That is no answer!
[Ed comes out on set in drag and addresses the cast and crew.]
All right, everybody, let's get set up for Scene 112. Move the crypt stage left and let's get Tor's make-up effect ready.
I'm directing.
Mr. Reynolds Not like that you're not!
Remove that getup immediately! You shame our Lord!
Mr. Reynolds?
Mr. Reynolds Yes?
We are gonna finish this picture just the way I want it, because you cannot compromise an artist's vision.
But it's our money.
And you're gonna make a bundle, but only if you shut up, and let me do things my way.
