　　影片改编自真人真事，讲述了畅销书《无尽的玩笑》作者大卫·福斯特·华莱士（杰森·席格尔 饰）和《滚石》杂志记者（杰西·艾森伯格 饰）一同踏上新书全国宣传之旅过程中发生的故事。

DAVID:
Every time I go to New York, I getcaught up in this - there’s this enormous hiss of egos at variousstages of inflation and deflation.
It’s me-me-me.
Lipsky takes out his tape recorder.
LIPSKY:
So, I gotta ask: What’s with the bandanna?
What?
DAVID:
What do you mean?
LIPSKY:
People think it’s a way you’re trying to connect with the younger readingaudience.

DAVID:
Is that what people think? I don’t know many Gen-Xers who wear ‘em.
Jeez. I don’t know what to say. I guess I wish you hadn’t brought this up.
LIPSKY:
Why?
DAVID:
Because now I’m worrying that it’s going to seem intentional. Like if I don’t wear it, am I not wearing it because I’m bowing to other people’s perception that it’s a commercial choice? Or do I do what I want, even though it’s perceived as commercial - and it’s just like one more crazy circle to go around.
LIPSKY:
Sorry. When did you start wearing them?
DAVID:
In Tuscon. It was a hundred degrees all the time. I would perspire so much... I would drip into the electric typewriter, I was nervous I was gonna give myself a shock. And then I discovered that I felt better with them on.
LIPSKY:
Uh huh.
DAVID:
I know it’s a security blanket for me - whenever I’m nervous. Or feel like I have to keep myself together. It makes me feel kinda creepy that people view it as an affectation or a trademark or something. It’s more of a foible, the recognition of a weakness, that I’m kinda afraid my head’s gonna explode.
Lipsky laughs.

51 I./E. CAR/OUTSKIRTS - CHICAGO - 1996 - DAY 51 The Grand Am on the highway to O’Hare. Trucks race past spewing cascades of water. Wipers at top speed. Ambient radio. Tape running. Lipsky at the wheel.
LIPSKY:
Your parents are both academics?
DAVID:
My dad, philosophy; my mom, English.
You?
LIPSKY:
Me? My dad’s in advertising, my mom’s a painter. When they split up, I lived with my mother in SoHo and my brother moved in with my dad.
DAVID:
Sounds like there’s a story there.
LIPSKY:
There is; I just wrote it.
