:25:01
and it's like, okay, now I know
what I'm here for again.
:25:05
You got that squared away.
But to be serious...
:25:07
the American dream stays with me
each and every day.
:25:10
I'm glad we're doing this today because
I was really getting down and out...
:25:13
and thank God they extended my phone
bill till Friday and lowered it too.
:25:17
But anyway, so today I'm gonna go
right back to work so we can get--
:25:22
Actually, my house ain't gonna look
like this. It'll look flatter...
:25:25
and less obnoxious that this.
:25:27
He wants to have
the good life eventually.
:25:30
He wants the big house
and the nice car and all that...
:25:32
but, you know, for the last,
I don't know, ten, fifteen years...
:25:38
he's been delivering newspapers.
:25:40
I realized one thing, in a kind of
Christian-coded ethical arena:
:25:45
Why should you be successful
while others are not?
:25:50
Well, you know what?
I got over that guilt.
:25:52
'Cause you know what? I don't know
that answer. I don't know why.
:25:57
It feels like-- in a Christian--
what Jesus would be saying.
:26:01
It's totally unchristian
to try to get ahead...
:26:04
because everyone's one an equal,
level playing field, an equal par.
:26:08
But you know what? I'm not a Christian.
I'm a half-and-half, man.
:26:12
Half's the satanist idea
and half the Christian idea.
:26:16
Satanist, which is the pursuit
of human endeavors...
:26:19
and Christianity, which is
the pursuit of higher levels.
:26:33
Okay, part of the script is
asking for a junkyard.
:26:37
There's actually several scenes--
:26:41
This new girlfriend is slick.
She's cool.
:26:44
You know?
:26:46
- How did you meet this girl, Mark?
- She's helping on the film, man.
:26:51
And if he's able to even do 25%...
:26:56
of what he says...
:26:58
it is more than what
most people accomplish.
