American Dream
Life is like the movies, Tony. — Michael
What? — Tony
What if I tell you that everything you do is already scripted — Michael
Are you smoking or something? — Tony
No, listen to me, Tony. Your life is like a movie; everything you do you can control: the lights, the scene, the actors you want to hire. — Michael
Tell me this then, why have I selected this stupid script? — Tony
Well, Tony, sometimes you are given the role and sometimes you create it yourself. I don’t know why your life is so miserable. — Michael
What an as.. — Tony
Wait, I haven’t finished. If you direct your movie, won’t you change the scene to make it beautiful or something? — Michael
Well…I guess so. — Tony
Then do it. I’ve seen big-budget movies being a piece of crap, and ones without money being a masterpiece. At the end, you decide, you choose your role, and you act. — Michael
Well, I’ve been acting my whole life, and this is where it has landed me this role. — Tony
Exactly, Tony. You have to act like the hero. You have to believe that act, as if your life depends on it, because you know it will. But first, you have to believe it yourself. — Michael
What is your point? — Tony
Act, and act as is the last thing you will produce, and make them believe that anything can happen. — Michael
…. — Tony thinks about while the smoke leaves through the window.
And at the end, if you are good enough to make them believe, you will be the one that gets all the attention, all the answers. The world is your movie set, Tony, and tonight the lead role is yours, so believe a little, you know. — Michael
Is this the life I have created? — Tony
Yes, but if you are not aware, it is created for you. — Michael
By who? — Tony
“The director, the actors. Take your pick. — Michael
