Bo HodgesWell, this may sound silly to you, but kids go completely ape if you do three things in a picture: defy authority, destroy property, and take people's clothes off.
Michael Burgess[bollixed]What does that have to do with American history?
Bo HodgesOh, come on, Michael, think about it for a second. Why do kids defy authority? Because they're in rebellion. The American revolution, Michael, was the ultimate rebellion. *And* they destroyed property! So all we had to do with these lunatics' help was to get their clothes off.

Faith Healy[on seeing Michael nearly pick a fight with her co-star Elliott out of jealousy]I think if you have a complaint, you ought to take it up with me.
Michael BurgessExactly how far do you take being Mary Slocum?
Faith HealyHow far do you take being an historian?
Michael BurgessI would stop short of sleeping with George the Third. *Why* would you have anything to do with him?
Faith HealyBecause he's a witty, charming man, and because it helps our scenes.
Faith HealyWhen I look in his eyes now, there's someone there. Do you--do you know what it feels like to act with someone who has the emotional depth of an eggplant?
Michael Burgess[truly astonished]You're not at *all* like her!
Faith Healy[quietly, also astonished]Where have you been the last ten weeks?

Michael Burgess[Meeting the director for the first time]Yeah, the script is, uh... very interesting. There are only a couple of things I have a problem with.
Bo HodgesElliott James is an international star. He comes on the screen in Paris, they wet their pants in Manila. If she *doesn't* fall in love with him, the audience will set fire to the *ushers*.

Gretchen[to Michael]How can you teach History and have such a short memory?
Michael Burgess[on meeting the lead actress out of period costume]I'm trying to get used to how *different* you look. You--you know, you're two different people!
Faith HealyOh, well, if all I could be is two different people, I'd be out of business!

Elliott James[of his philandering]You know what my problem is? The way they smell. The perfume of their skin. It's, it's so intoxicating. I told my wife I'd never even *look* at other women if only I could cut off my nose.
