"I never said I was the best mother in the world. Give me a little credit, will you, credit for being someone who tried... to love you the only way she knew how?"

"The guy was killed in an auto accident! I looked it up! He was driving in the Yukon, in a pink convertible, to visit his brother who's an ex-con named Frances, when a tractor trailer comes along and decapitates him. You know what that mean, it means he doesn't have a head. How am I suppose to write for a guy who doesn't have a head? He's got no lips, no vocal cords. What do you want me to do?"

"No, no, no, doing dinner theatre is horrible. Doing hemorrhoid commercials is horrible. What you did... there are no words for!"

Speaking of "this ought to be a Broadway musical"...

I thought the guys who did Urinetown were working on this as a Broadway musical. Is that just wishful thinking on my part?

[StockardFan]

Posted: 11/10/08 at 4:55pm

I would so go to that musical.

David! David, David, David, David! Can you please tell our new costume designer that I don't quite feel right in a turban? What I feel like is Gloria f*ckin Swanson! Am I 70 David? Am I 70? Why don't you just buy a walker. Buy a god damn walker and put me in it!"

Edmund Edwards: She's been through hell, and we're her family. So in this crisis, we have to support her.

Rose Schwartz: Yeah.

Edmund Edwards: We have to love her.

Rose Schwartz: Mmm.

Edmund Edwards: We have to care about her.

Rose Schwartz: Mmm.

Edmund Edwards: And we have to milk it for every drop of publicity we can get.

I saw "Soapdish" on a weekday matinee at the cineplex in Century City when it first opened, and Mel Torme and his daughter sat right in front of us!

I was so starstruck it was hard for me to watch the movie. Mel's a big favorite of mine.

But the movie pulled me in, despite my "Hollywood distraction." I loved it!

So did Mel and his daughter, by the way.

I was just watching this again about 2 weeks ago. God, I love this movie! Sally Fields' emotional u-turns are sheer brilliance.

Whenever I think of an answering machine, I can always hear Sally say, "On the machine, Rose. On the machine!"

I don't know if it would work as a musical, but if anyone could make it work, I think it would be Shaiman and Wittman.

And Robert Downey Jr. never looked better.

Love Soapdish. Hope someone succeeds in putting together a musical version.

"Hi. Uh. I'm Lori Craven... and I'm an actress."

"An actress? Really? How nice for you. I'm Betsy Faye Sharon, and I'm a bitch. Now get out of here."

God, I love this movie. I saw the title of this thread and did a little mental happy dance!

"Cover them up"

"I like them"

"I'm lookin' at dead crawdad butts...cover 'em up!"


I wish Andrew Bergman would return to writing....preferably with Robert Harling at his side.

"Even for an actor, you're an egomaniac!"

"Of course I'm an egomaniac! I have America's Sweetheart climbing up my drainpipe!"
