旅行终点 The End of the Tour Movie Script

DAVID:

So what was that like, your family divided that way?

LIPSKY:

Hey, who’s interviewing whom? How old were you when you started writing fiction?

DAVID:

Twenty-one?

LIPSKY:

Never before?

DAVID:

I think I started a World War Two novel when I was nine.

LIPSKY:

What about?

DAVID:

A bunch of people with strangely hyperdeveloped skills and powers, who are going to invade Hitler's bunker.

Then, in college, I wrote a couple of papers for other people.

35.

LIPSKY:

They were paying you to write their papers?

DAVID:

Well, I wouldn't put it that coarsely.

But let's say there were complicated systems of reward. I’d read two or three of their papers to learn, you know, what their music sounded like.

And I remember thinking, “Man, I'm really good at this. I'm a weird kind of forger. I mean, I can sound kind of like anybody.”

LIPSKY:

Odds are I’m gonna want to talk to your parents.

DAVID:

What for?

LIPSKY:

Biographical stuff.

DAVID:

I hereby request that you don’t.

LIPSKY:

Oh. Okay.

DAVID:

They’re real private people, and I would have a hard time with it. So, no you may not.

LIPSKY:

(backing off) Okay. I may not.
