- [Seth and Reed are at a restaurant sitting across from "Star Wars" creator George Lucas]
- George Lucas: [to waiter] I'll have a seltzer on the rocks with a twist of lemon.
- Seth: [to waiter] I'm gonna have the same. Seltzer on the... George Lucas drinks seltzer. Every-- everything you do, every little detail for me, it's just, uh... I don't know, it's fascinating.
- George Lucas: You're too kind.
- Seth: Let me just ask you one question, and then I promise we'll get into the book... um... how did you first come up with the lightsaber?
- Reed Carlson: I'm sure Mr. Lucas doesn't have time for such large scale questions.
- Seth: Ok, fine, I'll go smaller. Did you go to your prom?
- George Lucas: Prom?
- Reed Carlson: [puts hand to her head] Oh, my God...
- George Lucas: As in, "prom"?
- Seth: I just, uh... it's a personal thing, and I was just kinda wondering if you went to yours. It'd really help me out.
- George Lucas: Well, actually, I didn't. I spent my time being creative. Drawing Ewoks... Jar Jar Binks...
- Seth: Good to know. If George Lucas can skip his prom, I can skip mine.
- George Lucas: No. Now, wait a minute. I do regret not going to my prom.
- Seth: Really? Because it's like a seminal moment?
- George Lucas: Exactly.
- Reed Carlson: Mr. Lucas, I am so sorry. Can we get back to the point now?
- George Lucas: No, no, no. Wait. It would be good for me to talk about this. The prom is a great American tradition. It's important to experience the things of being a teenager when you're a teenager. When I went off and made my film "American Graffiti", I'd never had the experience of a prom and I had to make a movie about it. I felt... hopelessly inadequate without having... really done it myself. Not having been part of that pivotal moment in teenage life, uh, I felt very sad and alone.
