- Larry O'Brien: They only made silent pictures here?
- John Miller: The first ones and the best ones. Ever since 1915, Mr O'Brien. Why, this street has been everything from Klondike Gulch to a canal in Venice. It's been Chinatown, Park Avenue and the Barbary Coast. You see that corner there? Well, that's where Lee surrendered to Grant. Custer made his last stand right in the middle of that square.
- John Miller: I'll bet that was 'Sands of the Sahara' - directed by Franklin Ferrara! You don't see pictires like that amy more!
- Mitch Davis: Yes you do, Pop - every night on television.
