Corrected entry: When William and Lester are talking in the coffee shop, William is taking notes and writes "Dont make friends w/rock stars. Righteously DUMB. Industry of COOL". Lester never mentioned anything about anyone being "righteously dumb". The internet suggests a couple of lines have been cut; "'Cause they are trying to buy respectability for a form that is gloriously And righteously dumb. Now, you're smart enough to know that. And the day it ceases to be dumb is the day that it ceases to be real, right?" (00:16:10)

Correction: Despite the editors' choice to cut dialogue from the scene, William could legitimately have written a series of notes before the audience is let into the scene. The scene begins with Lester and William already well into their conversation in the diner - reinforced by the fact that Lester's plate of food is mostly gone.
