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: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 we share with someone else when we'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 unmercifull
