Blake Edwards Quotes in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004)

[At the screening of the finished film of The Pink Panther]

Blake Edwards: I'm not supposed to tell you but United Artists already wants a Clouseau sequel.

Peter Sellers: Who's directing?

Blake Edwards: Oh, probably some hack.

Peter Sellers: I'm dead fucking serious.

Blake Edwards: Peter, relax.

Peter Sellers: You're not suggesting you would?

Blake Edwards: What are you talking about?

Peter Sellers: I was bloody awful up there. If that's what you're going to get out of me, I don't think I want to repeat the experience.

Blake Edwards: You're blaming me for your performance?

Peter Sellers: So you agree I was awful?

Blake Edwards: I thought you were brilliant!

Peter Sellers: What the fuck do you know?

Blake Edwards: [On the set of the Pink Panther] Welcome to Hollywood.

Peter Sellers: This is Italy.

Blake Edwards: Hollywood is a state of mind.

Peter Sellers: [Tossing the Pink Panther Strikes Again script down] I could never be this broke.

Blake Edwards: It wasn't easy for me to come here, Peter.

Peter Sellers: Why, did your limousine break down?

Blake Edwards: I considered making you kiss my ass.

Peter Sellers: Not after that script's been through it.

Blake Edwards: Still the funniest bastard around. Look Peter, I didn't come here out of desperation, I think it's a good idea and I can't do it without you. You need the money, I don't. And I certainly don't need the aggravation you are undoubtedly gonna bring me.

Peter Sellers: What if I told you to fuck off?

Blake Edwards: I'd say your ex-wives would be very disappointed in that attitude.

Peter Sellers: Fuck my ex-wives.

Blake Edwards: [Walking out] I have, now I know why you divorced 'em.

Peter Sellers: [Spitting his drink out laughing] Blakey! You are the only son of a bitch who really understands me!

[He hugs him]
