PEGGY: I was impressed with what you said in English
class today.

MICHAEL: Gilfond's okay, except he thinks Hemingway's
great Literature.

PEGGY: You don't?

MICHAEL (contemptuously): He's a fisherman! The most 
overrated writer of the century. I mean, he's the
perfect American author — fat, violent, drunk...

PEGGY: Maybe you're confusing his life with his work.

MICHAEL: A writer's life is his work. Jack Kerouac
doesn't have to kill a bull to have something to write
about. He's out there feeling, burning... grooving on
life!
