Beginners (2010, dir. Mike Mills)

I’m a human, I’m not a dog. And you’re a Jack Russell and that’s a breed. Your personality was created by this guy, John Russell; he was a hunting enthusiast in the 1800s. We bred your ancestors for their stamina and their courage for the hunt. You think you’re you and you want to chase the foxes but other people planted that in you years ago. And now, somewhat arbitrarily, you’re considered very cute by us humans. And we keep breeding you — not to chase foxes, but to be cute. And we put you in television shows and movies — and you’re chasing tennis balls ‘cause they’re as close as foxes as you’re gonna get.
