Reagan: You're gonna read your book.
Nick: I'll read my book. Fine. This is good. I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Oh, I feel like my heart
is pumping out scalding hot toilet water.
Reagan: See, a vivid description like that is gonna make the audience go wild.
Nick: Ah, the audience! I just forgot the audience, and now I remember the audience. I can't do this. I can't do it. I can't do it.
