The Dangers of Pursuing Rock Journalism
Lester Bangs
You know, because once you go to L.A., you're gonna have friends like crazy. But they're gonna be fake friends. You know, they're gonna try to corrupt you. You got an honest face, and they're gonna tell you everything. But you cannot make friends with the rock stars...If you're gonna be a true journalist -- you know, a rock journalist -- first, you never get paid much. But you will get free records from the record company. Jesus. Fucking nothing about you that is controversial, man. God, it's gonna get ugly, man. They're gonna buy you drinks. You're gonna meet girls, they're gonna try to fly you places for free, offer you drugs. I know. It sounds great, but these people are not your friends. You know, these are people who want you to write sanctimonious stories about the genius of rock stars. And they will ruin rock n roll, and strangle everything we love about it, right? You know, because they're trying to buy respectability for a form that is gloriously and righteously dumb. Now, you're smart enough to know that. And the day it ceases to be dumb is the day that it ceases to be real, right? And then it just becomes an industry of cool. I'm-I'm telling ya, you're comin along at a very dangerous time for rock n roll. I mean, the war is over. They won. And 99% of what passes for rock n roll these days, silence is more compelling. That's why I think you should just turn around and go back, you know, and be a lawyer or somethin'. But I can tell from your face that you won't. I can give you 35 bucks. Give me a thousand words on ]...Hey, you have to make your reputation on being honest and, uh, you know, unmerciful...If you get into a jam, you can call me. I stay up late.

Dreams and Music Endure Through Time
The Count
To all our listeners, this is what I have to say - God bless you all. And as for you bastards in charge, don't dream it's over. Years will come, years will go, and politicians will do fuck all to make the world a better place. But all over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams and put those dreams into song. Nothing important dies tonight, just a few ugly guys on a crappy ship. The only sadness tonight is that, in future years, there'll be so many fantastic songs that it will not be our privilege to play. But, believe you me, they will still be written, they will still be sung and they will be the wonder of the world.

Patch Adams
Better? Better than me?
Mitch
I will save lives that have otherwise not been saved. Now, I can be like you, and go around laughing and have a good time, ha-ha, but I prefer to learn. Because the more I learn, the more likely I will have the right answer the crucial moment and save a life. And you say I'm a prick? You say I'm a prick? You know, maybe I am. But you ask the average person when death comes knocking at their door, whether they'll want a prick on their side, or some kindergarten teacher who's gonna kiss their ass! Because when that day comes, I'll want the prick, and so will you.
Patch Adams
You know, I forget how young you are, Mitch. That you think that you have to be a prick to get things done, and that you actually think that that's a new idea.

Gallon of skim milk. Dozen eggs. One of those disposable cameras for this weekend. I gotta stop at the 7-11 on the way home. I gotta get the dry cleaning for Trish. I gotta check Billy's homework, and call Mrs. Mitchell about her appointment on Tuesday. I gotta reschedule the dentist, get the dog cleaned...

Reflections on Death and Regret
Caden Cotard
My father died. They said his body was riddled with cancer and that he didn't know, he went in because his finger hurt. They said he suffered horribly, and that he called out for me before he died. They said that he said he regretted his life. They said he said a lot of things, too many to recount, and they said it was the longest and the saddest deathbed speech any of them had ever heard.

The Search for Truth and Connection
Caden Cotard

Taming the Chaos of Life
Lancaster Dodd
Marriage, previous to The Cause, was awful. Awful. There's a cycle, like life. Birth, excitement, growth, decay. Death. Now... now. How about this? Here comes, a large dragon. Teeth! Blood dripping! Red eyes! What do I got? A lasso. And I whip it up, I wrap it around its neck, and I wrestle! Wrestle! Wrestle him to the ground. I snap up, I say "Sit, dragon!" Dragon sits. I say "Stay!", dragon stays. Now it's got a leash on. Take it for a walk. And that's what-where we're at with it now. It stays on command. Next we're gonna teach it to roll over and play dead.

The Convergence of Two Worlds in Violence
Truman Capote
On the night of November 14th, two men broke into a quiet farmhouse in Kansas and murdered an entire family. Why did they do that? Two worlds exist in this country: the quiet conservative life, and and the life of those two men - the underbelly, the criminally violent. Those two worlds converged that bloody night.

Exploring Hypnosis and Past Lives in Dialogue
John More
Some of this sounds quite like hypnosis. Is it not?
Lancaster Dodd
This is a process of dehypnotization, if you will. Man is asleep; this process wakes him from his slumber.
John More
I still find it difficult to see the proof with regards to past lives that your movement claims.

John More
Perhaps another time. You've also said that these methods, Cause methods, can cure leukemia. According to your book...
Lancaster Dodd

John More
You can understand skepticism, can you not?
Lancaster Dodd
Yes, oh yes yes. For without it we'd be positives and no negatives, therefore zero charge. We must have it.
John More
Good science by definition allows for more than one opinion, doesn't it?
Lancaster Dodd
Which is why our gathering of data is so far-reaching.
John More
Otherwise you merely have the will of one man. Which is the basis of cult. Is it not?
Lancaster Dodd
Tis, tis. And thankfully we are, all of us, working at breakneck speeds, in the unison towards capturing the mind's fatal flaws and correcting it back to its inherent state of perfect. While righting civilization and eliminating war and poverty and therefore the atomic threat.

The Illusion of Belonging and Coolness
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 we share with someone else when we're uncool.
William Miller
I feel better.
Lester Bangs

Manipulating Perception in Political Strategy
President Snow
Look at them. She's not who they think she is. She's not a leader. She just wants to save her skin. It's as simple as that.
Plutarch Heavensbee
I think that's true.
President Snow
But she has become a beacon of hope for the rebellion, and she has to be eliminated.
Plutarch Heavensbee
I agree she should die, but in the right way. At the right time. It's moves and counter-moves, that's all we've gotta look at. Katniss Everdeen is a symbol. Their Mockingjay. They think she's one of them. We need to show them that she's one of us. We don't have to destroy her, just the image. Then we let the people do the rest.
President Snow
What do you propose?
Plutarch Heavensbee
Shut down the black markets, take away what little they have, then double the amount of floggings and executions, put them on TV; broadcast them live. Sow fear- more fear.
President Snow
It won't work. Fear does not work as long as they have hope, and Katniss Everdeen is giving them hope.

Family Dynamics and Guilt in Care Decisions
Jon Savage
Dad's not the one that has a problem with the Valley View. There's nothing wrong with Dad's situation. Dad's situation is fine. He's never gonna adjust to it if we keep yanking him outta there. And, actually, this upward mobility fixation of yours, it's counterproductive and, frankly, pretty selfish. Because it's not about Dad, it's about you and your guilt. That's what these places prey upon.
Wendy Savage
