Re: Opening with a quote...

Rounders, our first spec, opened with a quote on a blank page right after the title page. That quote ended up being a tagline on one of the one sheets.

I think we've only used one or two other quotes in that manner.

Case by case.

Just make sure it's a cool one.

Ours was "trust everyone but always cut the cards," attributed to Benny Binion, the owner of The Horseshoe, first home of the world series of poker.
