You are not cool.<br \/>\nWilliam Miller: I know. Even when I thought I was, I knew I wasn&#8217;t.<br \/>\nLester Bangs: That&#8217;s because we&#8217;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&#8217;t have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we&#8217;re smarter.<br \/>\nWilliam Miller: I can really see that now.<br \/>\nLester Bangs: Yeah, great art is about conflict and pain and guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love&#8230; and let&#8217;s face it, you got a big head start.<br \/>\nWilliam Miller: I&#8217;m glad you were home.<br \/>\nLester Bangs: I&#8217;m always home.

I know you think those guys are your friends. You wanna be a true friend to them?
