Sam's Son (1984)

Harvey Gold: Jake Bellow

Quotes 

• Jake Bellow : I'm sorry, Sam. I can't have an usher managing a theater.

  Sam Orowitz : Harold's been here three years. He knows how to run things.

  Jake Bellow : Sam, I'm paying you to manage the theater.

  [turns around to leave the theater] 

  Sam Orowitz : Well, you don't pay me enough to miss my son's track meet!

  Jake Bellow : [turns around]  What?

  Sam Orowitz : I work hard. I do a good job. I haven't asked for a raise in three years. If you can't let me take a couple hours off for something that's important to me, then I quit!

  Jake Bellow : You'd quit your job over a track meet?

  Sam Orowitz : I just told you that.

  [holds up the theater keys] 

  Sam Orowitz : You want the keys? Take 'em!

  Jake Bellow : All right, all right! Get the place ready and then take your two hours, but no more than two!

  [exits the theater] 

  Sam Orowitz : [proudly]  That felt good.

• Gene Orman : [at the premiere of Gene's latest film, Sam's Son]  Mr. Orman, Mr. Orman! Jake Bellow, remember? Jake Bellow, your father's boss.

  Gene Orman : [after a brief pause]  Oh, yeah, yeah, Mr. Bellow!

  Jake Bellow : Mr. Orman, I want you to know it is an honor to have you at my theater. An honor!

  Gene Orman : Well, thank you. I noticed you got five lights out on the marquee. I expect to see them lit when I come out. Don't have anybody else do it, you do it.

  Jake Bellow : [as Gene and his wife Kathy enter the theater]  Absolutely, Mr. Orman! It won't happen again!
