"You know in Badlands when Michael Douglas gets pulled over on"
"Michael Douglas wasn't in Badlands."
"What?"
"Michael Douglas wasn't in Badlands. It was Martin Sheen."
"Whatever. Martin Sheen. Remember when after he murders a few people he gets in a high-speed chase with the cops and ends up pulling over on a dirt road and starts grabbing a bunch of rocks and piling them up? That's how I feel."
"What are you talking about?"
"That's how I feel. I want to leave something behind. Be remembered. I want to leave behind a mark, something that says 'John Ged was here.' And I want people to, whenever they see that mark, say 'John Ged was here before me.' I want to be remembered."
"I don't think that works."
"What do you mean? Why?"
"It didn't work for Martin Sheen."
