'The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life and one is as good as the other.'
-Ernest Hemingway

Bradley Cooper plays another brilliant author whose potential is not ‘LIMITLESS’. Struggling novelist, Rory Jansen stole a unpublished story from an old briefcase, and published it as his own.

After it became a best-seller, the old man who wrote the novel, confronted this fraud. Now, if you’ll let me indulge you for a moment. This is how the scene should have went…

Clay: It’s your word against mine, figuratively speaking. Yeah, I copied everything word-for-word, but aren’t all works of art derivative? Good thing Noah Webster isn’t alive because he’d come after you for stealing ‘his’ words from the dictionary. I thought you’d be happy, everyone is reading your book. Your only concern is vanity; for shame! So if you ask me, Bill Shakespeare, this matter is much ado about nothing. Now, we can handle this like gentlemen or we can get into some gangsta shit.
