[At the screening of the finished film of The Pink Panther]
Blake Edwards : I'm not supposed to tell you but United Artists already wants a Clouseau sequel.
Peter Sellers : Who's directing?
Blake Edwards : Oh, probably some hack.
Peter Sellers : I'm dead fucking serious.
Blake Edwards : Peter, relax.
Peter Sellers : You're not suggesting you would?
Blake Edwards : What are you talking about?
Peter Sellers : I was bloody awful up there. If that's what you're going to get out of me, I don't think I want to repeat the experience.
Blake Edwards : You're blaming me for your performance?
Peter Sellers : So you agree I was awful?
Blake Edwards : I thought you were brilliant!

Peter Sellers : [Tossing the Pink Panther Strikes Again script down] I could never be this broke.
Blake Edwards : It wasn't easy for me to come here, Peter.
Peter Sellers : Why, did your limousine break down?
Blake Edwards : I considered making you kiss my ass.
Peter Sellers : Not after that script's been through it.
Blake Edwards : Still the funniest bastard around. Look Peter, I didn't come here out of desperation, I think it's a good idea and I can't do it without you. You need the money, I don't. And I certainly don't need the aggravation you are undoubtedly gonna bring me.
Peter Sellers : What if I told you to fuck off?
Blake Edwards : I'd say your ex-wives would be very disappointed in that attitude.
Peter Sellers : Fuck my ex-wives.
Blake Edwards : [Walking out] I have, now I know why you divorced 'em.
Peter Sellers : [Spitting his drink out laughing] Blakey! You are the only son of a bitch who really understands me!
[He hugs him]
