Griffin Dunne: Elliott Litvak

Quotes 

• Nicky Rogan : I don't get it. What's the fuss?

  Elliott Litvak : He reviewed that one-act I did at the Fulton Fish Market. We did this play at four in the morning. Outdoors. In the rain. One performance. For fish handlers.

  Nicky Rogan : And he was there?

  Elliott Litvak : Steven Schwimmer. I memorized every line of this review.

  Nicky Rogan : That's awful.

  Elliott Litvak : I recite it to myself with masochistic relish.

• Elliott Litvak : I can't write one word without imagining what his response is going to be. I am paralyzed as an artist.

  Nicky Rogan : See, I don't have the problems you artists have.

  Elliott Litvak : You've been saying that for years.

  Nicky Rogan : What?

  Elliott Litvak : "No, I'm just a professional. I'm a dues-paying member of the Guild." You are afraid, Nicky. That's the darkest part of you.
