    The Truman Show quotes

    • Marlon: Look at that sunset, Truman. It's perfect.

      Truman: Yeah.

      Marlon: That's the big guy. Quite a paint brush he's got.

    • Mike Michaelson: The show has generated enormous revenues now equivalent to the gross national product of a small country.

      Mike Michaelson: Since the show is on 24 hours a day without commercial interruption, all those staggering revenues are generated by product placement.

      Christof: That's true. Everything on the show is for sale. From the actors' wardrobe, food products, to the very homes they live in.

      Mike Michaelson: And of course, all of it available in the Truman catalogue and operators are standing by.
