Cowboy:
A man's attitude … a man's attitude goes some ways, the way his life will be. Is that something you might agree with?

Adam Kesher:
Sure.

Cowboy:
Now, did you answer because that's what you thought I wanted to hear, or did you think about what I said and answer 'cause you truly believe that to be right?

Adam Kesher:
I agree with what you said, truly.

Cowboy:
What'd I say?

Adam Kesher:
… That a man's attitude determines to a large extent how his life will be.

Cowboy:
So since you agree, you must be a person who does not care about the good life.

Adam Kesher:
How's that?

Cowboy:
Well, stop for a little second and think about it. Can you do that for me?

Adam Kesher:
[laughs] Okay, I'm thinking.

Cowboy:
No, you're not thinking. You're too busy being a smart-aleck to be thinking. Now, I want you to think and stop being a smart-aleck. Can you try that for me?
