Although Tod ultimately concludes that Homer didn't "come to California to die," we think he might want a second opinion. Sure, there are things that set Homer apart—he actually enjoys boredom, for instance—but the similarities are too plentiful to be ignored.

Sounds like a real charmer. Although he has long since retired from the clowning game, Harry is unable to forget about his past and stop wondering what his career could have been. Over time, this eats away at him.

Of course, Harry conveniently leaves out the part that says this would in fact be a bad idea, but the guy tends to play fast and loose with the truth. After all, how valuable is truth if it doesn't help you get to where you're going? One might make an argument about "morality" or something, but morality isn't worth much in Hollywood.
