April 1988)

"Apples, flying in."

"What do you mean 'they changed their mind'?"

"Like being pecked to death by a thousand pigeons.  Everybody's got questions.  You get out of the car in the morning.  All you want is a bacon sandwich and there they are.  'What do you want me to do about this?  How are we going to do that?' Even when I'd go to the loo, they'd be banging on the door.   --  Bob Hoskins  Screen International, 13 May 1988, also from Director's Debuts, The Wordsworth Dictionary of Film Quotations
