Jimmy Chase : Of course you do! Hey, I loved Cape Fear!

Walter Stuckel : Pictures they make these days are all MTV: cut, cut, cut. The opening shot of Welles' Touch of Evil was 6 and a half minutes long.
Jimmy Chase : [amazed] 6 and a half minutes long?
Walter Stuckel : 3 or 4 anyway. He set up the whole picture with that one tracking shot. My father was the key grip on that shoot.
Jimmy Chase : Hey, what about Absolute Beginners? That was an extraordinary shot!
Walter Stuckel : What the hell was that? Never heard of it.
Jimmy Chase : It's Julien Temple. It's an English movie.
Walter Stuckel : We're talking about American movies. Orson Welles was a master!

Walter Stuckel : My old man worked for Hitchcock on Rope. It was a masterpiece. Story wasn't any good. Shot the whole thing without cuts. I hate all this cut-cut-cut.
Jimmy Chase : Oh yeah? Well, what about Bertolucci and that great tracking shot with Winger in Sheltering Sky.
Walter Stuckel : I didn't see it.
