Ed Reynolds
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: And cut! Print. We're moving on. That was perfect.
- Ed Reynolds: Perfect? Mr. Wood, do you know anything about the art of film production?
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Well, I like to think so.
- Ed Reynolds: That cardboard headstone tipped over. This graveyard is obviously phony.
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It's about the big picture.
- Ed Reynolds: The big picture?
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes.
- Ed Reynolds: Then how 'bout when the policemen arrived in daylight, but now it's suddenly night?
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: What do you know? Haven't you heard of suspension of disbelief?
- Ed Reynolds: Before we start shooting, Mr. Wood, we have a few questions.
- Reverend Lemon: Yes. The script contains numerous references to graverobbing. Now we find the concept of digging up consecrated ground to be highly offensive. It is blasphemy.
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: What are you talking about, it's the premise of the movie. It's the title of the movie for Christ sakes.
- Reverend Lemon: But Mr. Wood!
- Ed Reynolds: Yes, about that title. It strikes us as very inflammatory. Why don't we change it to Plan 9 from Outer Space.
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Huh. That's ridiculous.
- Ed Reynolds: [referring to Tor Johnson] Why did you give HIM all the dialog? He is unintelligible!
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Look, Bela's dead and Vampira won't talk. I had to give somebody the dialog!
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: It's a guaranteed blockbuster.
- Ed Reynolds: Hmm. Ah, I understand this science fiction is popular, but uh, don't the big hits always have big stars?
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Well we have a big star: Bela Lugosi.
- Ed Reynolds: Bela Lugosi? Why, I though he passed on.
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes. Yes he did. But...
- [produces tiny spool of film]
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I've got the last footage he ever shot.
- Ed Reynolds: Well, it doesn't look like very much.
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Mr. Reynolds, this is the acorn that will grow a great oak! I'll just get a double to finish his scenes, and we'll release it as "Bela Lugosi's Final Film"!
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Mr. Reynolds.
- Ed Reynolds: Yes.
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: We are going to finish this picture just the way I want it... because you cannot compromise an artist's vision.
- Reverend Lemon: But it's OUR money.
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: And you're gonna make a bundle, but only if you shut up and let me do things my way.
- Reverend Lemon: [sees Ed come out in drag] Mr. Wood, what do you think you're doing!
- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I'm directing.
- Ed Reynolds: Not like *that* you're not.
- Reverend Lemon: Remove that getup immediately. You shame our lord.
