Harry Trimble: "that's why we call it 'The Majestic'. Any man; woman; child could buy their ticket, walk right in. Here they'd be; here we'd be. 'Yes sir; yes ma'am. Enjoy the show.' ⋯and in they'd come entering a palace, like in a dream; like in heaven. Maybe you had worries and problems out there, but once you came through those doors, they didn't matter anymore. ⋯and you know why?"
[⋯]: "Chaplin - that's why; and Keaton and Lloyd; Garbo; Gable; and Lombard; and Jimmy Stewart; and Jimmy Cagney; Fred; and Ginger. They were gods; ⋯and they lived up there - That was Olympus. Would you remember if I told you how lucky we felt just to be here? To have the privilege of watching them."
[⋯]: "I mean, this television thing. Why would you want to stay at home and watch a little box? Because it's convenient? Because you don't have to get dressed up, because you could just sit there? I mean, how can you call that entertainment, alone in your living room? Where's the other people? Where's the audience? Where's the magic? I'll tell you - in a place like this:, the magic is all around you; the trick is to see it."
