Lloyd Dobler’s Career

You mean, “a career?”

Um. I dunno.

I’ve thought about this quite a bit, sir, and I would have to say, considering what’s waiting out there for me, I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed.

You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.

So, my father’s in the army. He wants me to join, but I can’t work for that corporation.

So, what I’ve been doing lately is kick-boxing. Which is a new sport. But, I think it’s got a good future.

As far as career longevity goes, I don’t really know, because, you know, you can’t really tell. Your training sticks as a fighter, you know, but it’s no good, you know, you have to be great, but I can’t really tell if I’m great until I’ve had a couple of pro fights.

But I haven’t been knocked out yet.

I dunno, I can’t figure it all out tonight sir. I’m just gonna hang with your daughter.
