COLONEL No one's doubting your history or your credentials, Floyd. FLOYD Then why the resistance? I mean: This industry is going to be turned upside down soon enough -- JACK Then why help it? FLOYD Why not be prepared? The money comes from the Colonel, the talent comes from you, Jack. I've got a connection to the equipment and the mail order distribution, not to mention those kids I got out there who are hot-f**-action to the max. This is the future. Video tape tells the truth. JACK I have a stable of actors and actresses. They're professionals. They're not a bunch of f**ing amateurs. They're proven box office and they get people in theaters (where films should be seen) and they know how to f** well -- FLOYD That's right, Jack and by that same token, you're the one with the power here. The video revolution is upon us -- and our role is critical. We have an obligation to use our resources and talent to help make it fly -- JACK You come in here, at my party, tell me about this and that -- tell me about the future, tell me about -- video and amateurs and all that -- well lemme tell you something now: I will not shoot films on video and no I will not loan out my actors who are under contract to me. Period. FLOYD Wait a minute, Jack. I'm not a complicated man. I like cinema. In particular, I like to see f**ing on film. I don't want to win an Oscar and I don't want to re-invent the wheel -- I enjoy simple pleasures like bu*ter in my a** and lollipops in my mouth. That's me -- call me crazy, call me a pervert, but this is something I enjoy. One other small thing I want to do in this life is make a dollar and a cent in this business -- I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm trying to help you stay one step ahead of the game -- JACK We're repeating ourselves now, Floyd. COLONEL Jack, I think this is about cost and future -- JACK The future is as bright as we make it -- it shouldn't be sacrificed for a few dollars that can be saved shooting on video tape -- if it looks like sh** and sounds like sh**, it probably is sh** -- FLOYD I think you're one gin past this conversation -- JACK No . . . no. I'm crystal clear here. COLONEL Jack, please understand that this is not an argument . . . this is a fact of -- JACK . . . What . . . ? COLONEL This is not an argument, but a -- JACK What are you saying? COLONEL What do you mean, Jack, c'mon -- JACK Are you telling me that you're working with this sh**? COLONEL I think that there is a serious case to be made for the price and the gamble on the whole idea of a home video market -- Jack: Two, three years from now, everyone's gonna be able to walk into their local supermarket and buy or rent a videoca**ette -- JACK True film fans won't watch that sh**. It doesn't look good and more importantly it doesn't make s** look s**y. COLONEL It doesn't have to look good, Jack. Film is just too damn expensive. The theaters are already planning converting to video projectors. JACK I haven't heard that. FLOYD It's true. JACK We've got ten minutes until the New Year and I don't want it to start like this so I'm leaving now. We will or we won't continue this conversation some other time. Jack leaves.
