Almost Famous2000

Lester Bangs:
Aw, man. You made friends with them. See, friendship is the booze they feed you. They want you to get drunk on feeling like you belong.

William:
Well, it was fun.

Lester Bangs:
Because they make you feel cool, and hey, I met you. You are not cool.

William:
I know. Even when I thought I was, I knew I wasn't.

Lester Bangs:
That's because we're uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem. Good-looking people don't have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we're smarter.

William:
I can really see that now.

Lester Bangs:
Yeah, great art is about conflict and pain and guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love... and let's face it, you got a big head start.

William:
I'm glad you were home.

Lester Bangs:
I'm always home. I'm uncool.

William:
Me too!

Lester Bangs:
The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool.

William:
I feel better.

Lester Bangs:
My advice to you. I know you think those guys are your friends. You wanna be a true friend to them? Be honest, and unmerciful.
