The Riches

This is the most inspired piece of television writing I have seen in my life, and reaffirms what an amazing genius Mr. Eddie Izzard is. If you want to, you can see the whole thing here, towards the end of the clip. I highly recommend watching the entire series.

[The exterior of a Country Club. Night. Wayne, dressed as Doug, walks over the golf course and looks in at his new neighbors through the large windows. A tall thin man stands outside, lighting a cigarette. This is Connor.]

CONNOR

Hey Doug!

WAYNE

Connor. Too many lawyers?

CONNOR
(Jovially)
Ugh! I know!

WAYNE

What firm you with?

CONNOR

Oh I'm not a lawyer, Doug.

WAYNE

Developer, then?

CONNOR

Well, of young minds I like to think. I teach modern poetry at LSU.

WAYNE

Poetry.
"They miss the whisper that runs any day in your mind. 'Who are you really, wanderer?' And the answer you have to give, no matter how dark and cold the world around you is; 'Maybe I'm a king.'"

[Wayne pats Connor on the shoulder and heads inside the country club, as Bob Dylan's 'Shelter From the Storm' begins to play.]

If I could have one real life exchange like this, I'd die happy. Especially if it were with Eddie Izzard.
