I wish I'd said that!

One of my favourite films is a perverse story of murder, kidnapping and police corruption on the US-Mexican border. It also contains one of my favourite sayings: "Your future's all used up."

Touch of Evil was written and directed in 1958 by Orson Welles, who starred in the film along with Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh and Marlene Dietrich. On the day before they met on the set, Welles phoned Dietrich and said, "In the film, you're running a Mexican whorehouse, so dress accordingly and be punctual." She did and she was.

Welles: "What's my fortune? You've been reading the cards, haven't you?"
Dietrich: "I've been doing the accounts."
Welles: "Come on. Read my future for me."
Dietrich: "You haven't got any."
Welles: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Dietrich: "Your future's all used up. Why don't you go home?"
