I like this one! Paraphrased...
"I'm important. More important than you. However, I find myself unfortunately in need of your music. But I'm so important, you should be flattered to even be connected with my brilliance, and so will immediately accept this offer because we both know there's a huge queue of people waiting to just give me music. You should be flattered I'm willing to pay anything. Really!"
What I mean is that people can't expect enthusiasm and professional work if they are not paid/treated like that.
When I took part in a music contest for a game they did put my music in their 'professional' game and charged 40 EURO for every single game. I have never seen any money. They did it unallowed regarding the contract. First I didn't scare, but since they didn't credited me (bought a copy of the game) I gave it to my lawyer. This p*sses me off.
PS: The filmmaker wasn't young, he is a commercial senior producer in germany, who also just want to save money.
