The Bad And The Beautiful

Movie The Bad and the Beautiful
Year 1952
Jonathan Shields: Don't worry. Some of the best movies are made by people working together who hate each other's guts.
Victor "Gaucho" Ribera: Don't talk like that about Georgia - or Jonathan. He's a great man!
Lila: Hah hah. There are no great men, buster! There's only men!
Victor "Gaucho" Ribera: To give truth to a performance, there's nothing like love.
Georgia Lorrison: Love is for the very young.
Lila: Love is for the birds!
Harry Pebbel: I don't want to win awards. I want a picture that ends with a kiss and puts black in the books.
Jonathan Shields: If you dream, dream big.
Georgia Lorrison: Jonathan, will you marry me?
Jonathan Shields: Not even a little bit.
Rosemary Bartlow: James Lee, you have a very naughty mind... I'm happy to say.
Jonathan Shields: Because he was a drunk, you're a drunk. Because he loved women, you're a tramp. But you forget one thing: he did it with style.
Georgia Lorrison: People who knew my father give me the extra work and a line to say every now and then. I drink what I want, I see who I want. Who knows. Someday, I may even get married, to a nice, upright, assistant's assistant.
Jonathan Shields: [to Georgia] well, congratulations, you've got it all laid out for you so you can wallow in pity for yourself. The betrayed woman. The wounded doe with all the drivel that goes with it going through your mind right now. Oh, he doesn't love me a all. He was lying. All those lovely moments, those tender words. He's lying. He's cheap and cruel. Well, maybe I like Lilas. Maybe I like to be cheap once in a while! Maybe everyone does, or don't you remember?
Lila: [to Georgia] I forgot to tell you, Georgia. I saw the picture. Thought you were swell.
