Dan and Bart in “Bonfire of the Vanity”

Dan

I'm kinda over the writing thing, and I wanna see what else is out there. You're easily the most successful person I know so I figured, why not start at the top. You know, I was hoping I'd be able to shadow you for a few days a week after school.

I'm a busy man, Daniel, I don't think that's going to be possible.

Dan

Right, of course. I don't want to impose. It's just that ... you know, well, my dad, his world is pretty narrow. He may have had a hit song in the '90s but he didn't build half the Manhattan skyline.

Your father's a fine man, but I can see how you'd want something more. Why don't we start with two days a week?
