CHRISTOF: We've become bored with watching actors give us phony emotions. We're tired of pyrotechnics and special effects. While the world he inhabits is in some respects counterfeit, there's nothing fake about Truman himself. No scripts, no cue cards...It isn't always Shakespeare but it's genuine. It's a life.

TRUMAN: Eat me, dammit. That's an order. Maybe just your love handles. I have love handles? Ya…little ones.
