Alan Moore: So it’s all propaganda.
Terry Zwigoff: That’s all it is.
Moore: They’re fucking parents.
Zwigoff: No. I can’t do it.
Moore: The morality of that is so vague, nebulous, and subjective that I barely want to get into it.
Zwigoff: A couple of things fell through.
Moore: Well.
Zwigoff: Right. Sorry.
Moore: No.
Zwigoff: No.
Moore: To me it seems like a fairly equitable transaction. I don’t see the difference there at all.
Zwigoff: Oh yes: I've been approached to do all sorts of nonsense.
Moore: That is a dangerous line for civilization.

Zwigoff: "I've got this really hot script and I want to send it to you."

Moore: Do you know what I mean? I mean. I mean, I’m not saying it’s a lie.

Zwigoff: I don’t think it matters. I haven’t kept in touch with them. I don't know if they're ever going to do it or if it's going to go straight to video.

Moore: I’m free to object in public to any stuff that I don’t like.

Zwigoff: Yeah, okay, whatever.
