Slacker

movie still from Xenix
Dostoyevsky Wannabe (Brecht Andersch) Who's ever written a great work about the immense effort required in order not to create?
Has Faith in Groups (Sarah Harmon) You know, that's what I hate: when you start talking like this, like you just pull in these things from the shit you read, and you haven't thought it out for yourself, no bearing on the world around us, and totally unoriginal.

Based on Authoritative Sources (Robert Pierson) Okay, great. Personal attacks now, is that it? I thought we were beyond that.

Has Faith in Groups It's like you just pasted together these bits and pieces from your "authoritative sources." I don't know. I'm beginning to suspect there's nothing really in there.

Based on Authoritative Sources Suspect? You're beginning to suspect? Oh, that's rich, that's really rich. So what? At least what is there, is based on good sources.
Old Anarchist (Louis Mackey) And remember: the passion for destruction is also a creative passion.
Video Backpacker (Kalman Spellitich) To me, my thing is, a video image is much more powerful and useful than an actual event. Like back when I used to go out, when I was last out, I was walking down the street and this guy, that came barreling out of a bar, fell right in front of me, and he had a knife right in his back, landed right on the ground and... Well, I have no reference to it now. I can't put it on pause. I can't put it on slow mo and see all the little details. And the blood, it was all wrong. It didn't look like blood. The hue was off. I couldn't adjust the hue. I was seeing it for real, but it just wasn't right. And I didn't even see the knife impact on the body. I missed that part.
Disgruntled Grad Student (Scott Rhodes) Every action is a positive action, even if it has a negative result.
Having a Breakthrough Day (Denise Montgomery) I've had a total recalibration of my mind, you know. I mean, it's like, I've been banging my head against this 19th century type, um, what? Thought mode? Construct? Human construct? Well, the wall doesn't exist. It's not there, you know. I mean, they tell you, look for the light at the end of the tunnel. Well, there is no tunnel. There's just no structure. The underlying order is chaos.
Working on Same Painting (Susannah Simone) Sorry I'm late.

Having a Breakthrough Day That's all right. Time doesn't exist.
