dwayne: "i wish i could just sleep in until i was 18 and skip all this crap – high school and everything – just skip it"
frank: "you know marcel proust?"
dwayne: "he is the guy you teach"
frank: "yeah, french writer, total loser. never had a real job. unrequited love affairs. gay. spent 20 years writing a book almost no one reads. but he’s also probably the greatest writer since shakespeare. anyway, he uh – he gets down to the end of his life…and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered – those were the best years of this life, cause they made him who he was. all those years he was happy? you know, total waste. didn’t learn a thing. so if you sleep until you are 18…ah think of the suffering you’re gonna miss. i mean high school? high school – those are your prime suffering years. you don’t get better suffering than that".
