“When I think of this trip，I see David and me in the front seat of his car，We are both so young. He wants something better than he has. I want precisely what he has aready. Neither of us knows where our lives are going to go. It smell like chewing tobacco, soda and smoke. And the conversation is the best one I ever had. David thought books existed to stop you from feeling lonely. If I could. I'd say to David that living those days with him, reminded me of what life is like, instead of being a relief from it. And I'd tell him it made me feel much less alone.”
Lipsky在读书会上说出这段回忆的时候，镜头里面是Wallace在昏暗的浸会教堂忘我的跳舞，神情单纯的像个孩子，背景音乐the big ship 沉重而安静。
这部电影的故事比较简单，《滚石》杂志社记者David Lipsky 在看到 David Wallace 的新书《无尽的玩笑》后，打算去采访这个天才作家，两个David踏上了签名售书的旅程，在五天的相处中不断沟通，聊天，英雄惜英雄，他们的这段旅行，身体和心灵同时在路上。
There's a thing in the book about how when somebody leaps from a burning skyscraper, it's not that they're not afraid of falling anymore. It's that the alternative is so awful. I don't know if you have any experience with this kind of thing, but it's worse than any kind of physical injury. It may be in the old days what was known as a spiritual crisis, feeling as though every axiom in your life turned out to be false, and there was actually nothing, and you were nothing. And that it's all a delusion and you're so much better than everybody, cause you can see how this is just a delusion. And you're so much worse because you can't fucking function, it's really horrible.
