Here's my favorite scene, extracted from the script:

STIEGLER:
Mr. Gardiner, my editors and I have been wondering if you'd consider writing a book for us? Something on your political philosophy. What do you say?

CHANCE:
I can't write.

STIEGLER:
(smiles)
Of course, who can nowadays? I have trouble writing a post card to my children! Look, we could give you a six figure advance, provide you with the very best ghostwriters, research assistants, proof readers...

CHANCE:
I can't read.

STIEGLER:
Of course not! No one has the time to read! One glances at things, watches television...

CHANCE:
Yes. I like to watch.

STIEGLER:
Sure you do! No one reads! ...Listen, book publishing isn't exactly a bed of roses these days...

CHANCE:
(mild interest)
What sort of bed is it?
