The Waltons1971
Jim-Bob Walton:
[Jim-Bob rides to the house with a letter for John-Boy, sitting on the steps, writing "10,000" in the sand] Ten thousand what?
John-Boy Walton:
Huh?
Jim-Bob Walton:
I said, "Ten thousand what?"
John-Boy Walton:
Ten thousand unemployed writers in this country today.
Jim-Bob Walton:
That's silly.
John-Boy Walton:
What's silly about ten thousand unemployed writers?
Jim-Bob Walton:
Just because you're nineteen years old, doesn't mean everyone else is dumb.
John-Boy Walton:
I never said you were dumb.
John-Boy Walton:
Well, the way you tell it, a writer is somebody who's supposed to be somebody who thinks things up and puts 'em on paper.
Jim-Bob Walton:
Well what's that got to do with anything?
John-Boy Walton:
Somebody like that is working for himself, isn't he?
John-Boy Walton:
Of course he's working for himself, he has to work for himself.
Jim-Bob Walton:
If he's working for himself, how can he be out of a job?
