Quote
“Marion Davies-Pops, this is Herman Mankiewicz, but we have to call him Mank.
William Randolph Hearst-Mankiewicz? Herman Mankiewicz. New York playwright and drama critic?
Herman Mankiewicz-Turned humble screenwriter, Mr. Hearst.
William Randolph Hearst-Why, no need to be humble, Mr. Mankiewicz. Pictures that talk are the future. They’re going to need people who honor words, give them voice. There’s a golden age coming when all the world will be a stage, and you, perhaps, their Shakespeare.
Herman Mankiewicz-Oh, I wouldn’t have thought you’d be that keenly interested in the honoring of words.”
