Todd quotes from Dawson's Creek

Todd

[to Dawson] The absolute first thing you have to remember to do when you're on set, is take a picture of Natasha’s face, at the exact moment when she’s introduced to her new director, cause that’s something I bloody well have to see.

Todd

So what do you want to be when you grow up, Dawson?

Dawson

What else? A director.

Todd

Yeah? What are you doing about it?

Dawson

USC Film School.

Todd

Film school is for pussies. What are you really doing about it?

Dawson

I, uh… I made a documentary last year about A.I. Brooks.

Todd

Who?

Dawson

He was this pulp director from the 50s. It’s an amazing story, actually. I could show it to you.

Todd

No thanks.

Dawson

Okay.

Todd

Look, you’re what, like 18?

Dawson

Yeah.

Todd

Chances are, it’s bad. And if I take a look at it and it does indeed suck, than I have to come up with some sort of B.S. so you don’t feel bad. And if on the off chance it’s actually good, what do I need that for? Why would I want to be jealous of some 18 year old kid that makes better flicks than I do? Do you see my predicament?

They’re ready for you, Todd.

Todd

Welcome to Hollywood, Dawson.

Dawson

Todd? What I said was “screw you”. You should be ashamed of yourself, man, and not because you treat people badly, cause a lot of people do that. You should be ashamed of yourself because you have an amazing privilege and you don’t even take it seriously. You get to make movies. You get to do this for a living and you don’t even appreciate it. This movie is probably gonna suck. I know that, you know that, and the entire crew knows that. And your next movie is probably gonna suck too. Somebody gave you the keys to the kingdom and you’re blowing it. I feel sorry for you. If I ever get here, I’m gonna do things a lot differently.

Todd

You’ve got balls, kid. Now get off my set. You’re fired.

Todd

Ok, shag wits, to the car! Let's go! Chop, bloody chop! Or am I gonna have to throw cold water on you both?

Dawson

I think he's mad.

Real mad.

Todd

For the record, never let it be said that Todd Carr is a man who's not in love with being in love. I think both my movies and my life reflect my deep and abiding commitment to getting two good-looking young people together and having a bit of fun now and again. However... as leery here bloody well knows...

Dawson

You're also a man who's in love with sleep.

Todd

To the car. Now.

Todd

[sits in the Director’s chair] Oh, my apologies, sir. Force of habit.

Dawson

No, stay there. Stay there. You bailed my ass out today.

Todd

That's right, you little bugger. My bloody dogs are barkin'.

Dawson

Makes you feel for the little people, doesn't it? Makes you wanna go back and apologize to every crew member you ever threw a hissy fit at, I bet.

Todd

Hell, no. Makes me wanna produce.
