Quotes 

• Floyd Gondolli : I'm not a complicated man. I like cinema. In particular, I like to see people fucking on film. But, I don't want to win an Oscar and I don't want to re-invent the wheel. I like simple pleasures, like butter in my ass and lollipops in my mouth. That's just me. That's just something that I enjoy. Call me crazy, call me a pervert. But, there's one little thing that I'mg going to do in this life and that is I'm going to make a dollar and a cent in this business.

• Floyd Gondolli : The Colonel's got the money. You've got the talent, Jack. I've got the connection to the equipment and the mail order distribution, not to mention those kids out-there, who are hot-fuck-action to the max, Jack. This here's the future. Videotape tells the truth.

  Jack Horner : Wait a minute. You come into my house, my party, to tell me about the future? That the future is tape, videotape, and not film? And it's amateurs and not professionals? I'm a filmmaker, that's why I will *never* make a movie on videotape.
