Quotes of Movie: 24 Hour Party People [2002]
|
Factory Records are not actually a company. We are an experiment in human nature. You're labouring under the misapprehension that we actually have a deal with, er, with our, our bands. That we have any kind of a contract, er, at all, and I'm afraid we, er, we don't because that's, er, that's the sum total of the paperwork to do with Factory Records, deal with, er, their various bands. I'm a minor player in my own life story. This scene didn't actually make it to the final cut. I'm sure it'll be on the DVD. And tonight something equally epoch-making is taking place. See? They're applauding the DJ. Not the music, not the musician, not the creator, but the medium. This is it. The birth of rave culture. The beatification of the beat. The dance age. This is the moment when even the white man starts dancing. Welcome to Manchester. | |

It was like being on a fantastic fairground ride, centrifugal forces throwing us wider and wider. But it's all right, because there's this brilliant machine at the center that's going to bring us back down to earth. That was Manchester. That is the Hacienda. Now imagine the machine breaks. For a while, it's even better, because you're really flying. but then, you fall, because nobody beats gravity. Most of all, I love Manchester. The crumbling warehouses, the railway arches, the cheap abundant drugs. That's what did it in the end. Not the money, not the music, not even the guns. That is my heroic flaw: my excess of civic pride. Can I get you half a lager? Rob Gretton: You can get me a pint. I'm being postmodern, before it's fashionable. Well, this is goodbye. I mean, we obviously have nothing in common. I'm a genius, you're all fucking wankers. You'll never see me again. You don't deserve to see me again. You can't threaten me, Martin. You're a big man, but you're out of shape. Although you could sit on me. Every band needs it's own special chemistry. And Bez was a very good chemist. Energy, energy? Energy is, is, it's nothing more than a lot of new age hokum masquerading as spirituality. Can I offer anybody like the best drug experience they ever had? I am not a lump of hash. I'm in charge of Factory Records. I think. What's wrong with London Records? Rob Gretton: The name, for a start. Tony, you're fucking mad. Tony Wilson: That's a point of view. Tony Wilson: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's the latest craze sweeping the Pennines, and I've got to be honest, I'd rather be sweeping the Pennines right now. [Tony Wilson has just had a vision of God - who looked exactly like Tony Wilson] Tony Wilson: Well, it's written in the Bible, isn't it? 'God made man in His own image'. Rob Gretton: Yeah, but not a specific man. Tony Wilson: No, but if you'd have spoken to Him, He would have looked like you. But you didn't, I did. And he looked like me. Rob Gretton: [smoking a joint] Fucking top gear, man. Tony Wilson: You want to be careful with that, Shaun. You could take somebody's eye out. It's a pity you didn't sign the Smiths, but you were right about Mick Hucknell. His music's rubbish, and he's a ginger. You know, I think that Shaun Ryder is on a par with W.B. Yeats as a poet. Yvette: Really? Tony Wilson: Absolutely. Totally. Yvette: Well, that is amazing, considering everyone else thinks he's a fucking idiot. Jazz is the last refuge of the untalented. Jazz musicians enjoy themselves more than anyone listening to them does. You know your trouble, Tony? You don't know what you are. I fucking know what you are, but you don't know what you are. Tony Wilson: Well, my curiosity's got the better of me, Rob, tell me, what am I? Rob Gretton: You're a cunt. Tony Wilson: Well, you see I knew that, you see, that was something I did know. This morning I was doing a story about an elephant being washed by a midget. Charles: He's a dwarf. Tony Wilson: It doesn't matter! Charles: Well, it matters to him. It's my belief that history is a wheel. "Inconsistency is my very essence" -says the wheel- "Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don't complain when you are cast back down into the depths. Good times pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it is also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away". | |
