“If anyone ever raises the question of quality, they're immediately attacked as an elitist, because at Octopus it's considered morally offensive to talk about anything but money. All so that Mr. Rod McCain can feel a little more powerful every day.”

John Marwood Cleese - Rollo Lee

“We can make bad pictures, too... Costs more, but we can make 'em.”
John Huston

"She's got the three things that really matter in a wife" everyone said, "Breeding, brains and beauty". And I believed them - completely. But I never had a moment of happiness with her.

Laurence Olivier - "Maxim" de Winter

“The very things that held you down are gonna carry you up!”

Edward Brophy - Timothy Q. Mouse

“I think the whole Octopus philosophy is poison. The only aim of any and every McCain business is to downsize and halve the quality, to make enough money to acquire another business to downsize and halve the quality, to make enough money to acquire another business to downsize, without ever running a single one of them really well.”
John Marwood Cleese - Rollo Lee
