Congratulations, my friend.
I hope it gives them hell!

[orson_welles]

It'll definately give them hell. I don't even care if they don't like it, it is a masterpiece not an entertainment film.

That'll show the bastard!

[orson_welles]

You can't lock this stuff up forever, sooner or later it'll come roaring out and he just ending up giving us free publicity.

I hope it's a hit Orson!
