Ed Wood: And cut! Print. We're moving on. That was perfect.


Producer: Perfect?! Mr. Wood, do you know ANYTHING about the art of film production?

Ed Wood: Well, I like to think so.

Producer: That cardboard headstone tipped over! This graveyard is obviously phony!

Ed Wood: Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It's about the big picture.

Producer: The big picture?!

Ed Wood: Yes.

Producer: Then how 'bout when the policemen arrived in daylight, but now it's suddenly night?

Ed Wood: What do you know? Haven't you heard of SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF?

- Sequence depicting the shooting of the 1959 'film' "Plan 9 From Outer Space" in the 1994 Tim Burton film "Ed Wood"
