"This is interesting." "People out there, many of them while they were watching that clip, were a little offended by your film." "And I have to say, in all honesty, that I find some of the current horror films... a little disgusting for its own sake." "And yet, I noticed one thing, you were smiling." "I wondered if maybe you get pleasure out of their displeasure." "Well, I think the whole point of this work is to disturb and excite people." "So, it doesn't bother you if some people are a little repulsed... and feel that maybe they should issue airsick bags with tickets to your movie?" "But you have to remember that the movies are literal." "They can't be anything else." "What you see is what you get." "That said, I think the zombies were wonderful." "There was a great, uh?" "There was a great decapitation in the scene just before the one that you saw." "Go nice with my potato salad." "Mm-hmm." "But I must say that I thought they went a little overboard in the love scenes." "I-I think sex should be a private thing." "Don't you?" "[Applause] Well, obviously the audience applauds when they hear something funny." "Well, I?" "I guess they can get all that other stuff at home, can't they?" "Anyway, we will, uh, be back with Jordan Manmouth shortly, after a brief message or two, so stay with us." "[Applause]" "[Driver] A very good show, Mr. Manmouth." "Thank you." "Don't those creepy stories ever scare you?" "No, I'm not scared by them." "I wish I could be." "That stuff really doesn't get to you, huh?" "It sure gets to me." "I'll tell you." "It's the live ones you gotta worry about, not the dead ones." "Agents, ex-wives, journalists?" "Those are the people that scare me." "Well, here we are, sir." "I hate publicity tours." "May I give you a hand, sir?" "That's all right." "You can go on home now." "Thank you." "[Car Door Opens] [Engine Starts]" "[Gasps] What the hell are you doing here?" "I'm sorry, Mr. Manmouth." "I know you, don't I?" "I must've fallen asleep." "This is the fourth time you've done something like this." "Yeah, it is." "I was thinking?" "I was thinking maybe you could sign my book." "No, I will not sign your book." "This is my home." "You're trespassing here!" "I really am your biggest fan in the world." "I've got every edition of all your books." "Hardcover and paperback." "I got some?" "some really rare?" "Rare editions too." "And I truly love them." "And I was?" "You're a writer too, aren't you?" "And you'd like me to read your stuff." "I don't do business out of my own home." "I'll give you one piece of advice." "Learn to type!" "You look great." "[Clatter]" "[Water Dripping]" "Get the hell outta here, kid!"

"Okay, let me get this straight." "Someone's trying to kill you, but you only see him in the mirror." "When you turn around, he's gone." "I think I liked the plot to your second novel better, where the girl keeps seeing the rotting corpse of her uncle... every time she makes love to her husband." "This is not a book, Karen." "This is real." "[Door Closes]" "Is that the one?" "That one, among others." "There's nothing here, Jordan." "Just me." "Over and over and over." "[Broken Glass Tinkles]" "Come on." "Come on."

"Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "Traffic was terrible." "I'm so sorry we're late." "Today's not a very good day to do an interview." "I wanna thank you for your time today."

"How you doing?" "Could we do this some other time?" "Oh, I promise we'll be out of your hair in 30 minutes." "Forty-five minutes tops." "Cross my heart." "Mare, I am looking at this room, which I love, This guy is very fast." "But I think maybe we oughta shoot it outside." "No, no, this is great." "It's the horror writer at home." "You really are going to have to reschedule this." "Mr. Manmouth isn't up to this." " He's sick." " [Gillis] We're gonna shoot it in here." "Ready."
