  • [Phil Parish rebukes Joe McGill because he has fluffed his lines yet again] 

    Phil Parish - Director : You had *two* lines to do, Mr McGill. Two! And you couldn't.

    Joe McGill : It was the thirteenth take.

    Phil Parish - Director : Do you know why you couldn't, Mr McGill? Because you're no bloody good. And *that's* why you're an extra. A stupid, lousy extra!

    Joe McGill : You don't know that I'm stupid - no good at anything. You've only really met me today. I might be very good, for all you know.

    Phil Parish - Director : Mr MrGill, you had *one* important thing to do - and you couldn't.

    Joe McGill : That's not real life, lad. That's pretend. We're *all* pretending. *You're* pretending, the whole damn-fool play's pretending.

    [pause] 

    Phil Parish - Director : Real life is how well you pretend, isn't it, sir?

    [Joe McGill looks sheepish and crestfallen]
