A scene from Dazed and Confused 1993
Cynthia

God, don't you ever feel like everything we do and everything we've been taught is just to service the future?

Tony

Yeah I know, like it's all preparation.

Cynthia

Right. But what are we preparing ourselves for?

Mike

Death.

Tony

Life of the party.

Mike

It's true.

Cynthia

You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.
