GO: What is it you don't like about Harry Potter?
OO: He's a nerd! He's a pure nerd. And the idea is stupid, to wave your wand around. What is your parenting style?
GO: Don't talk down to kids, don't treat them like babies, treat them like they're adults, don't do baby talk. We always treated you like you were pretty mature, and here you are, you're pretty mature, so it worked. Maybe it was the way you were, but we always took you everywhere, but you've traveled. You traveled like an adult.
OO: Yeah, I always did.
GO: Kids can understand almost as much as adults, don't you think?
OO: Except why militias in the Middle East attack civilians, I can't get that.
GO: Well we can't get that either.
OO: Do you think you gained your style gradually?
GO: Yeah, but I think a lot of it is instinctive. The more you sample things the more you find out what you like, what you think is funny, what you think is beautiful. Who's your new favorite actor? Bill Murray?
OO: I love Bill Murray
[Kim Hastreiter interjects: That's interesting, he kind of has a similar sense of humor to your father don't you think?]
GO: Yeah, but I have better skin. He's a better golfer than I am, though.
