A scene from Xanadu 1980
Simpson

[Sonny is painting Kira's likeness on the Nine Sisters album cover. His boss Simpson is displeased]

It is supposed to look exactly like the album cover I gave you! Is that too difficult?

Sonny

If you want me to work, I'll work. If you want stand there and argue, I can get into that, too.

Simpson

Don't be a wiseass, Malone. That painting should be done; what are you wasting all this time on the girl for?

Sonny

Because that's how she really looks.

Simpson

I don't give a damn how she really looks, just get it FINISHED! Now, when are you gonna have it done?

Sonny

Well, I'd say it probably will be done...when it's done, but that's only an approximate guess.

Simpson

Five minutes, my office. If it's six, keep walking.
