The Harder They Come (1972)

Bob Charlton: Hilton

Quotes 

• Ivan Martin : I can sing too, you know, sir. I'd like the chance to make a record.

  Hilton : Everybody want to make a record...

  Ivan Martin : But I have a boss song, you know, sir. This one must sell.

• Ivan Martin : What the meaning of this, sir?

  Hilton : That means you get $20 for the record.

  Ivan Martin : $20, sir? That don't sound right

  Hilton : How much do you think it's worth, then?

  Ivan Martin : I don't really know, you know, sir.

  Hilton : Come on, you must have an idea. What do you think it's worth?

  Ivan Martin : Well, I think at least about $200, you know, sir.

  [Hilton chuckles] 

  Ivan Martin : I don't think I'm signing this for $20, you know, sir.

• Hilton : Remember, next time you cut a record, you see, sport, that I control this business. Understand? Okay? And remember something else. I make hits, not the public. I tell the DJs what to play. Understand?
