i mean, if i were to write: "the ferret-faced ethan hawke..." that wouldn't be out of bounds, would it?

I love that guy!!! (the mole rat, not E. H.)
Ethan Hawke's stupid Bukowskiesque input to the script of "Before Sunset," (or was it "After Sunset?") sank the movie for me. You could tell where he'd had a hand in it. Having Julie Delpy say "fucking" all the time. Really fucking jarring. Also the embarrassment of her going on about Nina Simone's ass. Spare me. Why present these people as a couple of garbage-mouths? It seemed forced.

Say "ermine-faced". An ermine is essentially a weasel but is associated with royalty so it won't look like you're blatantly insulting him.

Ermine is from stoats I think. In fact, stoat is a nice word.

I think he has a weasel face.

I don't remember anything forced about the way Hawke and Delpy spoke in Before Sunset: their characters are like that.

To me he always looks like... you know that look that babies get on their faces just as they're shitting their pants? That's the look of Ethan Hawke. The only one he has.

Giuliani: This conversation is over, David. Thank you. [Mr. Giuliani cuts him off.] There is something really, really, very sad about you. You need help. You need somebody to help you. I know you feel insulted by that, but I'm being honest with you. This excessive concern with little weasels is a sickness.

I'm sorry. That's my opinion. You don't have to accept it. There are probably very few people who would be as honest with you about that. But you should go consult a psychologist or a psychiatrist, and have him help you with this excessive concern, how you are devoting your life to weasels.

There are people in this city and in this world that need a lot of help. Something has gone wrong with you. Your compulsion about it, your excessive concern with it, is a sign of something wrong in your personality. I do not mean to be insulting. I'm trying to be honest with you and I'm trying to give you advice for your own good. I know you, I know how you operate, I know how many times you called here this week. Three or 4 o'clock in the morning, David, you called here.

You have a sickness. I know it's hard for you to accept that, because you hang on to this sickness, and it's your shield, it's your whatever. You know, you gotta go to someone who understands this a lot better than I do. And I know you're real angry at me, you're gonna attack me, but actually you're angry at yourself and you're afraid of what I'm raising with you. And if you don't deal with it, I don't know what you're gonna do. But you called here excessively all week, and you called here at 3 o'clock in the morning. And 4 o'clock in the morning. Over weasels. Over a ferret.

So I know this is difficult and tomorrow one of the newspapers will write how mean I am and how cruel I am and all this other stuff, but I believe, because my father and mother taught me this, that you should be honest with people. And I am giving you the benefit of 55 years of experience having represented hundreds and in some cases thousands of people on either side in the courtroom, having handled insanity defenses and cases.

You need help! And please get it! And you don't have the right to call here at three o'clock in the morning, harass the people on my staff, because of your compulsion. So, David, see what you can do to get help. But we can't help you. We don't have the professional expertise to help you. Now we're gonna move on to Richard in the Bronx.

The tone here is like light-hearted family drama when the book was not like that at all. I don't even really remember the dad being a major character in the book. a

I've got to admit, I kind of love how pretentious Hawke is. He's clearly pretty bright and has put a lot of thought into what he does, but while the way he always seems so focused on conveying both of those things rubs a lot of people the wrong way, I've actually grown to appreciate it.
