It's not bad, although it's a little awkward to watch Americans play a little boring.

The American media commented on how Stillman represented the 1% of the United States (Stillman was born in the 1% of the Upper East Side and graduated from Harvard. Although there was no such a word at that time). But my feeling is that people regardless of age or background have universal hopes and ideals, pretense and insecurity.

A.T. Harris Salesman: Like to try on the tuxedo?
Tom Townsend: Okay.
A.T. Harris Salesman: Okay. Here you go.

Nick Smith: You haven't seen this? Detachable collar. Not many people wear them anymore. They look much better. So many things which were better in the past have been abandoned for supposed convenience.
Tom Townsend: I had no idea anyone wore those anymore.
Nick Smith: It's a small thing, but symbolically important. Our parents' generation was never interested in keeping up standards. They wanted to be happy, but, of course, the last way to be happy is to make it your objective in life.
Tom Townsend: I wonder if our generation's any better than our parents'.
Nick Smith: Oh, it's far worse. Our generation's probably the worst since - the Protestant Reformation. It's barbaric, but a barbarism even worse than the old-fashioned, straightforward kind. Now barbarism is cloaked with all sorts of self-righteousness and moral superiority. Will you look at this?
Tom Townsend: You're obviously talking about a lot more than just detachable collars.
Nick Smith: Yeah, I am.
