Patterns of Evidence: The Moses Controversy (2019, Tim Mahoney)

By Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 18, 2019 From The Stop Button

When I decided to write about Patterns of Evidence: The Moses Controversy, it was because I wanted to make the wee dick move of putting it in Stop Button’s rarely used “Cult” category. Thought it’d be funny. Controversy, which never suggests it’ll be anything but writer-director-star Mahon... Read full article

Patterns Quotes:

Walter Ramsey: Name your terms. All terms are negotiable.
Fred Staples: I don't think so. Not mine.
Walter Ramsey: All right. I'd just as soon not waste any time doing trading. As of now, your salary is doubled. Your stock option is doubled right down the line. Your expense account is whatever you make it. Add to that a new title, vice president.

Walter Ramsey: Go ahead and try. Mr. Staples, you have yourself a deal.
Fred Staples: Have it drawn up.
Walter Ramsey: No reservations now?
Fred Staples: Yes, one. Bill had one pitiful little dream that someday he'd walk in here and break your jaw. I reserve the right to have that wish myself.
Walter Ramsey: I'll have it drawn into the contract... with a rider giving me the same privilege.
Walter Ramsey: I'll see you in the morning, Fred. Remember, you didn't steal that promotion. You won it!
