“I think I’m going to do it, I think I’m going to jump.”
“That's dramatic.”
“I’m going to do it, and don’t you try and stop me.”
“Wasn’t planning to.”
“I’m not enough, you hear? That's why. I realized I’m not enough.”
“Not enough for what?”
“For anything. For everyone.”
“That’s a lot of people.”
“I’m not enough of a writer, I don’t understand their fancy rhythms. I’m not enough for the capitalists, I don’t get their fancy rhymes.”
“Last I checked, that's not everyone.”
“I’ve got more-”
“You’re fine.”
“There's just too much to know, you know?”
“...”
“The cinephiles have too many good movies. That's the problem. How am I supposed to know them all?”
“You don’t need to.”
“But I can’t love movies if I’ve never seen the Godfather, can I?”
“I suppose you can’t.”
“So who am I if I don’t like movies?”
“A writer. A capitalist.”
“I’ve never read shakespeare. I don’t own any stock.”
“I suppose you’d be no one then.”
“Exactly.”
“Is that bad?”
“Don’t be silly, everyone has to be someone. It's in the rules.”
“I suppose it is.”
“Well… I’m off to the bridge then.”
“A real jumper would do it off the Golden Gate.”
“Says who?!”
“The nets presumably.”
“That's halfway across the country!”
“Indeed it is.”
“I… I guess I’m not a real jumper then.”
“I guess you’re not.”
