Drew: (…) I’ve had a lot of scenarios where I just barked before I even thought and I have such a rebel
inside of me because the reason I love your reputation so much is, because I want to live my life by that,
like that’s really important to me, is to be a good person, like at my job, with my kids, with my friends
in no such order but there’s a problem I have with rebellion and authority.

Keanu: No, rebellion is good!

Drew: It is?

Keanu: It is, of course! You can’t just kick out rebellion! Rebellion is usually a thoughtful gesture.

Drew: Even though it feels so impulsive?

Keanu: Yeah, but it feels good yeah

Drew: Yes, it does!

Keanu: … and if you’re barking and you know, it just it depends on what you do with your bite.

Drew: I’m not a biter, I’m a barker.

Keanu: Yeah, so you know…

Drew: I’m not a fighter, I’m a lover

Keanu: I don’t know, no because if you’re a lover, you’ve got to be a fighter.

Drew: How so?

Keanu: Because if you don’t fight for your love, what kind of love do you have?
