The Bad and the Beautiful1952

Shields:
If you put me on, say at $300 a week, I could pay you off slowly but surely, $6,351 dollars.

Pebbel:
You think you blackmailed me...Well, get this, my unit turns out 18 pictures a year. I cry for ideas. If you'd have sweat out a story for me the way you sweat out losing that $6,351 dollars, I'd have hired you anyway. Why didn't you come to me in the first place? What are you, proud?

Shields:
I tried to see you, Harry. I couldn't get in.

Pebbel:
Do you know who gave me my first job?

Shields:
My father.

Pebbel:
Yes, and you're just like him, got to angle everything the cute way.

Shields:
Look, I'll pay you off a hundred a week.

Pebbel:
I wouldn't take a dime. Just bring me a picture I can shoot, genius boy.

Shields:
You're all right, Harry. One day, you'll work for me.
