Dignan's Notebook

I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of the 1996 movie Bottle Rocket, directed by Wes Anderson, and co-written by Anderson and the movie's star, Owen Wilson. The film is about three hapless friends who try to pull of a series of crimes while on the run. The main character is Dignan, played by Owen Wilson. Dignan is a lovable, but optimistically short-witted schemer, hoping to lead his three friends in pulling of a cascading series of crimes that will ostensibly make them all filthy rich. There are a lot of stupid and insignificant problems that only these three friends can trip into, that complicate their plan, and make the movie great.

When you watch the movie, you can't help but hope the happy-go-lucky Dignan will "1. Assemble small team 2. Create cash base...", and then in a matter of just five years "...1. Make wise investments
2. The Robin Hood Principle
a. Establish good will within community
b. Anonymous donations ".

If you've seen the movie, you get a very short shot of Dignan's notebook, but unless you take the time to pause the movie, and meticulously transcribe everything from the frame, then you won't see much. Luckily, someone has done just that. And here it is:
