And in most of our...

“I gave the script [of Rushmore] to my mom and I said, ‘Mom, I’ve never auditioned. Can you give me any pointers? Can you help me memorize lines?’ and she read the script and she said, ‘I’ll be right back,’ and she went out and rented three films — The Graduate, Dog Day Afternoon, and Harold and Maude.
