Jonathan:
Mr. Von Ellstein, am I to understand that you consider this scene complete?
Von Ellstein:
I do.
Jonathan:
Well I don't. You call that directing?
Von Ellstein:
That is what I have been calling it for 32 years.
Jonathan:
Why, there are values and dimensions in that scene you haven't begun to hit!
Von Ellstein:
Perhaps they're not the values and dimensions I wish to hit. I could make this scene a climax. I could make every scene in this picture a climax. If I did, I would be a bad director. And I like to think of myself as one of the best. A picture all climaxes is like a necklace without a string: it falls apart. You must build to your big moment. And sometimes you must build slowly...
Jonathan:
Look, when I want a lecture on the aesthetics of motion pictures, I'll ask for it. And it won't be on my time, and it won't be a cover-up for a shallow and inept interpretation of a great scene! To be a director, you must have imagination.
Von Ellstein:
Whose imagination, Mr. Shields? Yours or mine?
