Honey: "Fox Xmas pic pack popcorn ralacies, execs eye mega-bucks." I need a translator... J.J.: What's it say, Honey? Honey: "Brass ballyhoo Duke Flick! Go-picture to bag b.o. boffo-bucks." Hmm...I wonder what that means. J.J.: I think it means they expect Duke's movie to do well at the box office. Honey: "Shooting set for Dec. 15. Car-and-cocaine epic to cost $15 mil." J.J.: $15 million! Where'd he get that kind of money? Honey: Well, knowing Duke, he doesn't have it in hand. J.J.: Wow...isn't that a bit risky to start shooting before you have the money? Honey: With anyone else, I'd say yes...but Duke's very resourceful. I'm sure he'll come up with a very creative way to finance his film! Duke: I...I...had a dream. To tell the John De Lorean story. Rocco: Save it for your agent. You have the right to remain silent.
