- LIPSKY:
A whore? Why?- DAVID:
You know, cashing in somehow, or getting some little celebrity for myself. That will, from some bizarre set of misunderstandings, sell more copies of the book.- LIPSKY:
Right.- DAVID:
You can quote that. Preferably in a context where I don’t sound like a total dweeb. (A beat.) By the way, are they gonna send Annie Leibovitz to take pictures?- LIPSKY:
I’m not sure. Possibly.- DAVID:
- I know:
You’re a good-looking guy. We should have ‘em photograph you, and say you’re me. Maybe I’ll finally end up getting laid. Lipsky laughs. 35 INT. 7-ELEVEN - BLOOMINGTON - 1996 - NIGHT 35 Muzak. In the blue-white fluorescent light, David and Lipsky ad-lib while stocking up on six-packs of Diet Rite, chewing tobacco, Oreos, etc. At the cash register, Lipsky prepares to pay.- LIPSKY:
Let me.- DAVID:
You don’t have to pay for my sh*t. 21.- LIPSKY:
It’s not coming out of my pocket... I’ve got an expense account.- DAVID:
All right, if you insist... David goes back for more. 36 INT. CAR/COMMERCIAL DRAG - BLOOMINGTON - 1996 - NIGHT 36 Riding through town, the Davids are eating candy liketeenagers on a joyride.- DAVID:
If you ate this stuff all the time, what would be wrong with that?- LIPSKY:
Except for your teeth falling out andgetting really fat?- DAVID:
Yeah, it doesn’t have any of the nourishment of real food, but it’s real pleasurable masticating andswallowing this stuff.- LIPSKY:
Like seductive commercial entertainment.- DAVID:
Exactly, and what saves us is thatmost commercial entertainment isn’t very good.- LIPSKY:
What about good seductive commercial entertainment - like Die Hard?- DAVID:
The first Die Hard? Great film.- LIPSKY:
Brilliant, right?
