Lester's re-examination of his life parallels feelings Ball had in his mid-30s; like Lester, Ball put aside his passions to work in jobs he hated for people he did not respect.
Lesterovo preispitivanje svog života paralelno je s osjećajima koje je Ball imao sredinom svojih 30-ih; poput Lestera, Ball je stavio sa strane svoju strast rada na poslovima koje nije volio i rada za ljude prema kojima nije imao respekta.
