A Bunch of Amateurs (2008)

Derek Jacobi: Nigel Dewberry

Quotes 

• Nigel Dewberry : [about Jefferson Steel]  Let's face it, he is no Laurence Olivier. In fact, he might even be the first actor in history that's actually too old to play Lear. He'd make a damn good Yorick.

  Kevin Patel : Who's Yorick?

  Nigel Dewberry : The skull in Hamlet.

• [Last lines] 

  Nigel Dewberry : He is coming back over my dead body.

• Jefferson Steel : I rest my case.

  Nigel Dewberry : Well, I defer to the director.

  Dorothy Nettle : [stammering]  I... eh... I think there is a definitive performance lying somewhere between Californian realism and English mellifluence.

• Jefferson Steel : I'm leaving.

  Nigel Dewberry : Not before me.

  [Both run to the door, Nigel Dewberry reaches it first, leaves, and slams the door behind him] 

  Jefferson Steel : I can slam the door... *louder*!
