Even the slight traces of criticism in here, about this kid, reminds of that classic part of the film Bottle Rocket, when Anthony has just gotten out of the "nut house," and has just seen his little 9 year-old sister at her school (who was telling her friend he was a jet pilot), and when he has Bob pull the car over after, and he is on someone's front lawn tripping out, and he tells Dignin that he is freaking out because Grace (his little 9 year-old sister) thinks he's a failure, Dignin says: "She said that? What has she ever done with her life that is so great?"
