| Quotes |
Bruce Madsen:
You want me to warm up your audience? Jack Taylor: Of course, I'd be honored. Audience warm-up guys make a lot of money, Bruce. Bruce Madsen: You want me to be your fluffer, Jack? That's fucking humiliating! I can't believe this is how you look at me. Jack Taylor: I don't look at you that way, Bruce, that's how the business looks at you. Bruce Madsen: Then fuck the business. Jack Taylor: I don't get you man. You think this business is like a "Punt, Pass, and Kick" competition where all that matters is being funnier than everybody else. Bruce Madsen: Isn't that what it's about... being funny? Jack Taylor: Wake the fuck up, Bruce. Funny has, like a little bit to do with it... this much. It's like the figure skating compulsories. You go around, you do a figure-eight. Yeah, that's cool, but what you're judged on in this business is the long program. Bruce Madsen: You're using figure skating analogies, Jack? You've changed, buddy. Jack Taylor: And you haven't, Bruce. You never wanted to put in the work, the real work of building a career. So, instead, what do you do? You hide behind the rebel flag? You're fucking Cliché Guevara, man! I'm offering you a job, Bruce. It's a good job. Take the job. See more » |
