What's your dog's name? Uh, Scotty. I named him for F. Scott Fitzgerald. Isn't that...

Ruby Sparks:
What's your dog's name?
Calvin Weir-Fields:
Uh, Scotty. I named him for F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Ruby Sparks:
Isn't that disrespectful?
Calvin Weir-Fields:
What?
Ruby Sparks:
Naming your dog after him? It's a little disrespectful. Think about it. You're a novelist. You think this guy's the greatest. So you name your dog after him to cut him down to size. This way, you can put him on a leash... and yell "Bad Scotty" and feel all superior because you pee inside. Kill your idols, man. I'm all for it.
