The Wizard of Speed and Time Quote
[Mike tries to join the Camera Union: ]
Camera Union Clerk: No sir, the studio hires the next man on the roster.
Mike: Well, how do I get on the roster?
Camera Union Clerk: You have to be in the union.
Mike: Well, how do I get *in* the union?
Camera Union Clerk: When you're on the roster.
Mike: You mean I can't join unless I'm already a member?
Camera Union Clerk: That's correct. Then you need thirty consecutive days camera operation, a complete physical exam, the producer sends a letter, and *you* pay your fees.
Mike: Well, fine, I've done ten years of camera work!
Camera Union Clerk: Then you've worked in violation of seniority! You'll have to start allll over, as a film loader.
Mike: Look, I'm just building a small set and filming it!
Camera Union Clerk: That's entirely another union. Set and Modelmakers. Next door!
