Lester Bangs:
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
