- DAVID:
What do you mean “false?”- LIPSKY:
I think it’s part of your whole social strategy.
我认为这是你整个社交策略的一部分。- DAVID:
In what way?- LIPSKY:
You still feel you’re smarter than other people.- DAVID:
Oh, really?- LIPSKY:
Yeah but you act like you’re in the kids’ softball game, but holding back your power-hitting, to try to make it more competitive for the little ones.- DAVID:
When?- LIPSKY:
Here, now, for the past three days, it’s part of your social strategy.- DAVID:
You’re a tough room, you know that?- LIPSKY:
You make a point of holding back - there’s something obvious about you holding back your intelligence, to be with people who are younger or maybe not as agile as you are...- DAVID:
That would make me a real a**hole, wouldn’t it? I don’t think writers are any smarter than other people. I think they may be more compelling in their stupidity, or in their confusion. 66. But I think one of the true ways that I have gotten smarter is, I’ve realized that I’m not much smarter than other people.- LIPSKY:
Yeah, right.- DAVID:
There are ways in which other people are a lot smarter than me. Like, I don’t know, it makes me feel kinda lonely...- LIPSKY:
What.- DAVID:
There’s certain stuff I’ve told you that’s really true and, frankly, I think it’s been brave of me.- LIPSKY:
Absolutely.- DAVID:
I’ve written enough of these “pieces” to know that you could present this in a hundred different ways. Ninety of which I’m really gonna come off as a monumental a**hole. But it seems like your read of this is, “Huh: what an interesting persona Dave is adopting for the purposes of this interview.”- LIPSKY:
That’s not what I’m saying.- DAVID:
If we’d done this interview through the mail? And I had access to a library, and could look stuff up? My dream would be for you to write this up, send it to me, and I get to rewrite all my quotes - which of course you’ll never do. When I’m in a room by myself, alone, and have enough time, I can be really really smart. Don’t get me wrong: I think I’m bright; I think I’m talented. I don’t mean to sound disingenuous.- LIPSKY:
(amused) Oh, no?! 67.
