Reverend Lemon quotes from Ed Wood (1994)

Mr. Reynolds

Before we begin shooting Mr. Wood, we have a few questions.

Reverend Lemon

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.

Ed Wood

What are you talking about? It's the premise of the movie. It's the title of the movie, for Christ's sake!

Reverend Lemon

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?"

Ed Wood

Ha! That's ridiculous.

Mr. Reynolds

What'd you give him all the lines for? He's unintelligible!

Ed

Look, Lugosi's dead and Vampira won't talk. I had to give somebody the dialogue!

Reverend Lemon

That is no answer!

Reverend, I'm here.

Ed Wood

Who is he?!

Reverend Lemon

This is our choir director. He's gonna play the young hero.

Ed Wood

ARE YOU PEOPLE INSANE?! I'M THE DIRECTOR! I MAKE THE CASTING DECISIONS AROUND HERE!

Reverend Lemon

I thought this was a group effort.

Ed Wood

NO!

Ed Wood

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.

Reverend Lemon

Mr. Wood! What do you think you're doing?

Ed Wood

I'm directing.

Mr. Reynolds

Not like that you're not!

Reverend Lemon

Remove that getup immediately! You shame our Lord!

Ed Wood

THAT'S IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT!
[Ed storms out of the studio]

Ed Wood

Mr. Reynolds?

Mr. Reynolds

Yes?

Ed Wood

We are gonna finish this picture just the way I want it, because you cannot compromise an artist's vision.

Reverend Lemon

But it's our money.

Ed Wood

And you're gonna make a bundle, but only if you shut up, and let me do things my way.
