Mostly David and a little Holden

"Now hold on just a minute, you think it's ok to be phony? How is it good to go about pretending to be all... something you're damn well not?"

"I don't think I was very clear before. I don't mean that it's good to not be yourself, but I do mean that a little conformity isn't all that bad. I think that I have a much easier time making friends with people when we have common interests and like to talk about the same kinds of things. And that's sort of a form of conformity right? I mean in general, after reading the Catcher in the Rye it's obvious that neither you nor me really fit in all that well where we're from. I mean you're over emotional and as non-conformist as it gets in 1950's society, and I'm a nerdy guy with an obsession over a TV show. "

Holden Thinking 
Boy, he's probably right. I don't have much in common with the other people, but you know. I'm not going to be all phony just to conform. 

"I am some nerdy kid who loves a certain TV program, but I still have friends and I get along well with my parents. When it comes to living in the 1950's though I couldn't do it. The people there seemed so unaware of the world around them and home life wasn't perfect. I mean Mother should not have been so hesitant to disobey Father when he was making her unhappy. Families had to worry about shame in the community and I really missed color in Pleasantville. But if I had remained conformed to the "virtuous" way of life in Pleasantville I would not have learned as much about living as I have now."

Note to Cowie- I'm struggling getting in character with Bud. He just isn't as defined as a person as Holden is so bear with me please -_-
