Aw, man. You made friends with them. See, friendship is the booze they feed you. They want you to get drunk on feeling like you belong.
William Miller
Well, it was fun.
Lester Bangs
Because they make you feel cool. And hey. I met you. You are not cool.
William Miller
I know. Even when I thought I was, I knew I wasn't.
Lester Bangs
That's because we're uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem. Good-looking people don't have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we're smarter.
William Miller
I can really see that now.
Lester Bangs
Yeah, great art is about conflict and pain and guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love... and let's face it, you got a big head start.
William Miller
I'm glad you were home.
Lester Bangs
I'm always home. I'm uncool.
William Miller
Me too!
Lester Bangs
The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.
William Miller
I feel better.
Lester Bangs
My advice to you. I know you think those guys are your friends. You wanna be a true friend to them? Be honest, and unmerciful.
