- Mario Puzo: Did you eat my ham?
- Francis Ford Coppola: No.
- Mario Puzo: There was a ham sandwich in the refrigerator.
- Francis Ford Coppola: I did not eat the ham sandwich, Mario. You ate the ham sandwich. I watched you eat it. It's not something I will soon forget.
- Francoise Glazer: Bourbon.
- Bettye McCartt: Mm.
- Francoise Glazer: It's good, eh? It's made in Kentucky. You know that, per capita, Kentucky had the most American men serve in the war?
- Bettye McCartt: I didn't know that.
- Francoise Glazer: Yes. That's why I drink it. Don't ask for Irish whiskey at my bar. I don't carry it. Do you want to know why?
- Bettye McCartt: Mm-hmm.
- Francoise Glazer: During the war, Ireland didn't let Allied troops use their ports. Not for munitions, not for soldiers, not for-not for fucking food. They just stayed on the sidelines while millions were exterminated. And you-you know what I say to them? Fuck them.
- Bettye McCartt: I like rum anyway.
- Francoise Glazer: The reason why I'm telling you this is so you understand the... the type of grudge-holding woman I am before I ask you what I'm about to ask you.
- Bettye McCartt: Okay.
- Francoise Glazer: What's Al hiding?
- Bettye McCartt: Francoise, I-
- [laughs]
- Bettye McCartt: I'm not sleeping...
- Francoise Glazer: I don't mean other women. I-I'm not worried about that. I know where his dick goes every night.
- Bettye McCartt: [chuckles]
- Francoise Glazer: I mean something else. There's something heavy around him that he's not telling me. What is it?
- Bettye McCartt: I'm not gonna sit here and lie to you. I'm also not gonna say anything if he hasn't.
- Francoise Glazer: So you're Ireland.
- Bettye McCartt: I'm an ally. I'm just not yours.
- Francoise Glazer: Touché, mon ami. I get why Al likes you. Let's have another drink.
- Charles Bluhdorn: So, Al Ruddy! Tell me: what are you going to do with this fucking book?
- [Silence]
- Charles Bluhdorn: What, is he deaf?
- Albert S. Ruddy: [sits down in front of Bludhorn and stares intently at him] I'm going to make an ice-blue, terrifying movie about people you love.
- Charles Bluhdorn: [thinks a moment, then slams his hand on the table] That's BRILLIANT!
- [Storms out of the room]
- Albert S. Ruddy: ....What just happened?
- Barry Lapidus: Congratulations. You're the producer of The Godfather.
- Bettye McCartt: Is it true that John Bonham drove his Harley Davidson through the lobby here?
- Francoise Glazer: Well, it's the same carpeting. See for yourself.
- Bettye McCartt: Were you here that night?
- Francoise Glazer: Yup, I was. Same night I found my ex-husband fucking Tara Satana in the bungalow. At the time, I thought it was the worst night of my life. But now I own this place, and he's in Ohio, so turns out it was the worst night of his life.
- Bettye McCartt: Mm-hmm. Best part of marriage is divorce, I guess.
- Francoise Glazer: In my case, yes.
