Billy Liar (1963)

Leonard Rossiter: Emanuel Shadrack

Quotes 

• Emanuel Shadrack : So that's your ambition, is it? Scriptwriting?

  Billy Fisher : Oh, yes, it always has been.

  Emanuel Shadrack : Do you get a salary each week then, or do you get paid by the joke?

• Emanuel Shadrack : Shadrack to funeral fleet. Shadrack to funeral fleet. Are you receiving me? Over.

• Emanuel Shadrack : [holding up a model coffin]  By the time we're burying you, you'll be going off in one of these. Plastic. Did you know that? Yes, you see, people don't realize. It's all clean lines nowadays. All these frills and fancies are going out. It's all old. Same as I tell Councillor Duxbury. You've got to move with the times. No use living in one style and dying in another, is it?
