Oh, men, 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
Well, it was fun.
LESTER BANGS
They make you feel cool.
And hey, I met you.
You are not "cool."
WILLIAM
I know. Even when I thought I was,
I knew I wasn't.
LESTER BANGS
That's because we are uncool!
And while women will always be a problem for
guys like us, most of the great art in
the world is about that very problem.
Good-looking people have no spine!
Their art never lasts!
They get the girls, but we're smarter.
WILLIAM
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
I'm glad you were home.
LESTER BANGS
I'm always home! I'm uncool!
WILLIAM
Me too!
LESTER BANGS
(leveling)
The only true currency in this bankrupt world
is what we share with someone else
when we're uncool.
