Person: I'm sorry, Mr. Duke, I don't care how big your production company is, my client is not interested in selling his story! Duke: You don't understand a movie like this could help his case! Person: Oh? How so? Duke: If we get rolling right away, it'll create so much publicity that DeLorean couldn't possibly get a fair trial! They'll have to throw it out! Person: Hmm..interesting notion. Yes, I like that. Let's set up a meeting....great! I'll put on my secretary! Alice: Shall I ask for a net or gross position?
Gross. Always ask for gross. Movies never have net profits. David Prowse accepted net for Return of the Jedi, and never saw a cent.
