Sound and fury
DANIEL:
You want to check out the talk on
microcontrollers? I hear the guy
who invented TV-B-Gone is speaking.
(off Julian's BLANK look)
It's a remote, you walk into a bar,
you can turn off all the TVs and...
Daniel reads Julian's contempt, WILTS a little.
DANIEL (CONTINUED):
... I guess it's kind of stupid.
JULIAN:
No, it sounds interesting. But...
don't you find it tiring? Spending
time with all these wankers?
Daniel grows still. He LOVES these wankers. Or did, until
just now. Julian pretending not to notice, leans in --
JULIAN (CONTINUED):
Look at them. Useless idiots,
cracking X-Boxes, building antannae
out of Pringles cans, probably
spending all their free time
reading Neuromancer and playing
Call of Cthulhu. What a waste.
Daniel BLANCHES. Julian's just described HIM.
JULIAN (CONTINUED):
Capable generous men, men of
purpose -- we need to seek nobler
inspiration.
