And when art lies, it becomes worthless,
so l gotta keep telling the truth,...
:55:07
..even if it scares the shit outta me,
like it scares the shit outta you.
:55:10
Even if it means some motherfucker can blow
a big old hole in my leg for a watch...
:55:16
..and l'm gonna walk with a fucking limp for
the rest of my life and count myself lucky.
:55:21
That's what's amazing,
what we count as lucky today.
:55:24
Our criteria for lucky has changed a bit.
:55:27
Davis, we're not talking about great art here.
:55:30
Says you, Mr Snob, Mr Arbiter of Taste,
Mr lmmigration Lawyer to the Arts.
:55:35
But there's so much rage going around,...
:55:38
..we're damn lucky we have the movies
to help us vent a little of it.
:55:41
That line is so tired. l'm shocked you'd use it.
:55:45
You thinkjust anyone can do what l do?
You think anyone can make the crap l make?
:55:49

That's what Claire told me.
:55:53
This is life. l'm trying to get that
through your thick skull.
:55:56
There's always been violence. There will
always be violence, evil, and men with guns.
:56:02
My movies reflect what's going on.
They don't make what's going on.
:56:06
And if l make 'em better than anyone, then
l've got a bigger responsibility to serve it up.
:56:13
Mack, you ever seen a movie
called Sullivan's Travels?
:56:17
- No.
- You haven't seen enough movies.
:56:21
All of life's riddles
are answered in the movies.
:56:24
lt's a story about a man who loses his way.
:56:26
He's a filmmaker, like me, and he forgets for a
momentjust what he was set on earth to do.
:56:32
Fortunately he finds his way back.
:56:35
That can happen, Mack.
:56:39
