- Pandowski: Artists! My name is Salvatore. I am your director. I must warn you. I am a sensitive man, a very sensitive... as a matter of fact, when a pigeon goes hungry, I cry. When a child is happy, I laugh. And if you do not listen to me, all of you, I will get angry. I get very angry. Oh, yes. I don't care how much money I spend on making this film because I want quality. Qual-i-ty! Yes, therefore, I... therefore, I am appointing myself to write a script. A few pages every day as we go along. You act, I write, I write, you act. I will plant the seeds of realism in it - realism in it. And I will let it blossom into a magnificent flower of truth. Hmm, yes, you know I decided to put this film together, edit it as we professionals call it, personally, myself. Oh, Darling, I have a feeling this will be my masterpiece. Yes, a super, colossal, Cleopatra! Remember, when people work together, they suffer together. Oh, yes. Well, now we can make a film. Go and get dressed.
