Ed: You know that quote in the beginning where Kane says, it might be fun to run a newspaper?
Well I think that’s how Orson Wells approached this; it might be fun to make a movie. He didn’t know what he was doing, yet he did something that was perfect. Makes you think what’s possible.

From the series Northern Exposure, Ed is talking about his passion for movies to Leonard

Leonard: Hah. Maybe this is it.

Ed: What?

Leonard: White medicine: movies. You say it’s magic. Seems to have cured you.

Ed: Well my stomach feels better, but before long the movie will be over and I still won’t know what to do with my life.
I’m really confused Leonard.

Leonard: The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back.
Maybe it doesn’t matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.
