So what do you want to be when you grow up, Dawson?
What else? A director.
Yeah? What are you doing about it?
USC Film School.
Film school is for pussies. What are you really doing about it?
I, uh… I made a documentary last year about A.I. Brooks.
Who?
He was this pulp director from the 50s. It’s an amazing story, actually. I could show it to you.
No thanks.
Okay.
Look, you’re what, like 18?
Yeah.
Chances are, it’s bad. And if I take a look at it and it does indeed suck, than I have to come up with some sort of B.S. so you don’t feel bad. And if on the off chance it’s actually good, what do I need that for? Why would I want to be jealous of some 18 year old kid that makes better flicks than I do? Do you see my predicament?
They’re ready for you, Todd.
Welcome to Hollywood, Dawson.
