Lorne Michaels: Self

Quotes 

• Lorne Michaels : [in the control room, during James Woods' monologue]  I just don't want any shooting unless it's absolutely necessary.

  SWAT Gunman : All right, Mr. Michaels, but I dunno if you realize what kinds of sick, psychotic weirdo freak it is that we're dealing with out there.

  Lorne Michaels : I just can't take the chance that you might shoot Dana Carvey.

  SWAT Gunman : All right, whatabout members of the audience?

  Lorne Michaels : Let me see what it says on the back of the ticket.

  [pulls a ticket from his shirt pocket and reads for a moment] 

  Lorne Michaels : Do what you have to do.
