00:00I had conceived of Paper Tiger to be a Hitchcockian kind of thing.
00:06And one of the great concepts behind Hitchcock was the conception of what we'll call ordinary or normal guy or
00:14woman in extraordinary circumstances.
00:17I'm sorry about all this. I apologize. I was just trying to help you.
00:21It's great. It causes a wonderful friction.
00:26So I had thought of the movie as a family filled with love, coming into contact with the dark underbelly,
00:34and that meant crisis.
00:38We had a problem down at the canal, and it's led to some things.
00:42Why 1986? That was really the beginning of a period that we're still in, where money is God.
00:50This is 20 grand.
00:52It's all that matters. I think they're doing what they think the country is telling them to do.
00:58It's New York. You know how it is. Everyone's on the take all the time.
01:02When you see the movie, it's like a time warp.
01:05It's amazing what a different neighborhood this is than it was when I was a kid.
01:09It's so much more benign, so much less violent.
01:13They're not going to touch me.
01:15What about me?
01:16They can touch me.
01:17I just think the film is about the American dream in a certain sense, which is that being satisfied is
01:23not what it's about.
01:24You're supposed to always strive for more.
01:26This could be the perfect opportunity for us to do something substantial together.
01:29And sometimes that's not right.
01:44You're supposed to always be.
01:45You're supposed to always be.
