“And then, in the middle of her little tirade, she said, ‘Oh, and by the way, this little writing career?’ — with the finger quotes — ‘this little writing career that you’re doing? That (expletive) is (expletive) over,’ ” Quentin Tarantino said.

There will be no house for you. There’s no vacation for you. No Elvis Cadillac for mommy. You get nothing because you said that,’ ” Quentin Tarantino said.
The filmmaker went on to emphasise the fact that parents should understand that they should understand that their words will have an impact on their children. “There are consequences for your words as you deal with your children,” he said. “Remember: There are consequences for your sarcastic tone about what’s meaningful to them.”
