I really admire this scene. Linklater's way of thinking is what makes his movies so special.

in some ways i think its like his manifesto for what cinema represents and he continues to explore that later in other films like waking life and scanner darkly and even Before Sunset and Boyhood.. bringing the idea of time and causality to the central plot where the characters talk about it or are immersed in it or are paranoid between what is real and or not real...LOL imma pass the bong over to you now...LOL.

This opening scene perfectly sets up the whole movie. As the characters enter and leave the film, they go off on their own stories. But we'll never know what happens to them because we're stuck in one reality, where the movie continues to go from person to person.

"oh shit, I should have stayed at the bus station" this is a great quote. It says a lot about the type of people who think in terms of "what if?" When we go down the rabbit hole of what ifs, we find ourselves admiring the decision we didn't make more than the one we actually made. No wonder we have a distaste for reality.

This scene struck me the moment he started talking about dreams. Dreams that are completely real, where he's doing mundane things like watching TV at home. Choices that create separate realities, such as one where he calls for a ride at the payphone and meets a beautiful woman. It's like Richard Linklater is describing a movie he's about to make- Waking Life. I love this scene because you can see those ideas would resonate and be brought to the forefront of his later work.

KBMusic Do you ever start dreaming before you've completely fallen asleep? Like two nights ago I was lying in bed with my arms out to my sides and for a moment I felt like there was a girl lying next to me with my arm around her. Another time I thought I was somewhere else for a second, like walking around my house but then I remembered I was just about to fall asleep. I feel like these things might happen every night but I don't always remember them.

I don't think that's ever happened to me, but I do think you can kind of dream right before falling asleep... except it feels more like barriers of your mind are being broken down, so you can think of things without any filters. I always think of amazingly creative things, but I don't remember them when I wake up.

Back after this came out on video, Austin was the Mecca. “Let’s all move to Austin man, where it’s cool.” But even by 1994 word was out… “no man, it’s over. It’s been taken over by Yuppies” Were we wrong? All these years later, I’ve still never been there.

Just sit there to contemplate it all after you come back because you're gonna see such crazy and radical things in these trips. That when you come back you're gonna be like what the fuck was that? And you're gonna spend a week just in the shower, what the fuck was that? Cooking your food, what the fuck was that? Driving to work, what the fuck was that? Sitting at work doing your work, what the fuck was that? Thinking that. Trying to wrap your mind around it. Try to remember and trying to figure it out and that's a very valuable process.

You can literally hallucinate objects and beings into existence because what's happening is you're tapping into that pure abstract creative potential of mind. That's exactly what you want. Of course it can be kind of freaky but a psychedelic is that times a thousand. See so again the point is not to achieve some blissful state or to see some cool colors or to travel to some new dimension you can do all those things. That's nice, that's fun. The point is the lessons the insights you get and the meta understanding of how this entire process works because as you're exploring all your different domains you're learning about your own mind. How the mind of God is generating reality and why it's generating it.
