Have Dreams, Will Travel2007

Cassie:
See, a real plan is more than just some pipe dream.

Ben:
Pipe dream?

Cassie:
A pipe dream is an unrealistic fantasy that deludes oneself into thinking that it's an actual plan. It's a very popular expression. I'm surprised you've never heard of it before.

Ben:
I didn't say I'd never heard it.

Cassie:
Anyway, a real plan is an actual goal that you believe in enough to create a set of circumstances. Which leads you to, and into, a plan. Comprende?

Ben:
Where do you come up with this stuff? I mean, what part of your brain works so hard it makes you think and talk like that?

Cassie:
My father was a professor with a very wide vocabulary and lots of unique ideas. When he wasn't teaching his students, he taught me.

Ben:
So what does your mom do?

Cassie:
[after a pause] She never did anything. [blinks, then turns and walks away from him]

Ben:
[picks up their bags and follows her, regretting he said anything] You know, I think most of what you say is true. [Cassie turns and tilts her head at him] Some I just don't understand. But I also think you like to screw with people's heads.

Cassie:
I may be wrong sometimes. But I won't ever screw with your head. Ever.

Ben:
Me too. Ever. [Cassie smiles and nods]
