William Holden would beat the shit out of Holden Caulfield
He tried to smoke because he thought it made him look William Holdenesque, little did he know...
>Hold on a second here, just what's that crack supposed to mean?
Well it just seems as though you're trying to affect some sort of non-existent tough guy man's man image. I mean it just seems as though that illusory image was shed and left behind in the 50's. Don't you think maybe it's time to let it go?
>We're not gonna get rid of anybody. We're gonna stick together, just like it used to be. When you side with a man, you stay with him. And if you can't do that, you're like some animal, you're finished. We're finished! All of us!
You're not only perpetuating an image that doesn't exist, but you're using words that really have no meaning. It's debateable that even in the 'Good Ol' Days' that those words held any meeting. You're like the guy with the awful moustache in Westworld. You're play acting at something you're quite obviously not.
>You make me sick with your talk of rhetoric. There's a stench of academia about you. You carry it in your pack like the plague. Explosives and L-pills - they go well together, don't they? And with you it's just one thing or the other: destroy an image or destroy yourself. This is just a game, this conversation! When the only important thing is how to live like a human being.
I think you're overreacting, I was just trying to explain...really it's tragic that you cling so steadfastly to this image especially when you're old enough to know better.
>There's nothing tragic about being fifty. Not unless you're trying to be twenty-five.
Wait, wait...I am twenty-five.
>A lot of people say that, and the first thing you know it, they get married, and live happily ever after. If I ever run into you bum on a street corner, just let's pretend we've never met before.
Uhm... ok
