﻿1
00:00:00,751 --> 00:00:02,984
Action. Sun goes down.

2
00:00:02,986 --> 00:00:05,820
Sun, go down.

3
00:00:05,822 --> 00:00:06,921
I'm sorry.

4
00:00:06,923 --> 00:00:09,357
What's my motivation?

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,074

6
00:00:51,131 --> 00:00:53,031
Oh, you good boy.
Oh, you good-

7
00:00:53,033 --> 00:00:54,866
we thought this was going
to be a reality show.

8
00:00:54,868 --> 00:00:57,102
Yeah, like the Kardashians.
I love that show.

9
00:00:57,104 --> 00:00:58,336
You know that I love that show.

10
00:00:58,338 --> 00:01:00,105
I wanted to do a show like that.

11
00:01:00,107 --> 00:01:01,173
Really?

12
00:01:01,175 --> 00:01:02,507
A documentary?

13
00:01:02,509 --> 00:01:03,975
What's that?

14
00:01:03,977 --> 00:01:05,844
So... so this is going
to be a documentary

15
00:01:05,846 --> 00:01:07,946
about our writing group?

16
00:01:07,948 --> 00:01:13,217
I thought... I thought it was
gonna be just about us.

17
00:01:13,219 --> 00:01:15,419
Just... I mean not that it
should be just about us,

18
00:01:15,421 --> 00:01:18,088
'cuz you know, there's
more people...

19
00:01:18,090 --> 00:01:20,491
But I mean we are the main
people in the group, honey.

20
00:01:20,493 --> 00:01:21,493
I thought-?

21
00:01:21,494 --> 00:01:24,962
Yeah, I mean I guess this is
going to be like that thing

22
00:01:24,964 --> 00:01:27,231
that we watched on cable
the other night.

23
00:01:27,233 --> 00:01:28,365
The holocaust.

24
00:01:28,367 --> 00:01:29,934
Yeah, the holocaust...
That was-

25
00:01:29,936 --> 00:01:31,135
long, right?

26
00:01:31,137 --> 00:01:33,169
That was very long,
but, I mean...

27
00:01:33,171 --> 00:01:38,074
It was, it was...

28
00:01:38,075 --> 00:01:38,943
Like-

29
00:01:38,944 --> 00:01:40,043
powerful.

30
00:01:40,045 --> 00:01:41,110
Heavy.
Powerful.

31
00:01:41,112 --> 00:01:42,445
Yeah. Heavy.

32
00:01:42,447 --> 00:01:44,013
But, I mean...

33
00:01:44,015 --> 00:01:46,316
We-we love documentaries.

34
00:01:46,317 --> 00:01:47,284
Yeah, we love 'em.

35
00:01:47,285 --> 00:01:48,818
We do.

36
00:01:48,820 --> 00:01:52,155
We love them.
Don't we, Winston?

37
00:01:52,157 --> 00:01:57,759
Does the red light mean
that the camera's on?

38
00:01:57,761 --> 00:02:00,095
So all of this was?

39
00:02:00,096 --> 00:02:01,030
What?

40
00:02:01,031 --> 00:02:02,998
Hello.

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,867
Maria! Can you come
get Winston, please?

42
00:02:04,869 --> 00:02:06,401
Winston, you gotta go.

43
00:02:06,403 --> 00:02:08,036
Maria.

44
00:02:08,038 --> 00:02:10,072
Hold on. I gotta find Maria.

45
00:02:10,073 --> 00:02:11,040
We can't, we can't.

46
00:02:11,041 --> 00:02:12,174
Maria!

47
00:02:12,176 --> 00:02:15,309
Well, welcome to
our humble abode.

48
00:02:15,311 --> 00:02:16,844
We moved here a couple
of years ago-

49
00:02:16,846 --> 00:02:17,912
Maria!

50
00:02:17,914 --> 00:02:19,447
Honey.

51
00:02:19,449 --> 00:02:23,351
It's kind of a dream,
dream house for us.

52
00:02:23,353 --> 00:02:25,219
You know what, maybe?

53
00:02:25,220 --> 00:02:26,154
We should...

54
00:02:26,155 --> 00:02:27,255
I'm not dressed.

55
00:02:27,257 --> 00:02:28,522
Can we just start over?

56
00:02:52,914 --> 00:02:55,080
Our writing group meets
every Tuesday night.

57
00:02:55,082 --> 00:02:56,815
Mostly at Alan and Colette's.

58
00:02:56,817 --> 00:02:58,284
Sometimes we rotate.

59
00:02:58,286 --> 00:03:00,386
That's me with
the dorky glasses.

60
00:03:00,388 --> 00:03:02,488
I love coming to the group.

61
00:03:02,490 --> 00:03:05,190
Everyone has such
constructive feedback.

62
00:03:05,192 --> 00:03:08,894
Natasha the Russian peasant
dressed oh so slowly.

63
00:03:08,896 --> 00:03:12,331
Consumed totally, completely,
absolutely, definitely

64
00:03:12,333 --> 00:03:15,733
by endless thoughts of Yuri
fondling her breast.

65
00:03:15,735 --> 00:03:19,437
His other hand groping her
womanhood, knowing any second

66
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:21,039
that she might explode.

67
00:03:21,041 --> 00:03:23,408
Her chastity spraying
across the ceiling

68
00:03:23,410 --> 00:03:26,077
like passionate grafitti.

69
00:03:26,079 --> 00:03:28,246
Natasha never thought such
a moment possible.

70
00:03:28,248 --> 00:03:30,014
Have I satisfied you, Natasha?

71
00:03:30,016 --> 00:03:32,250
Yuri had inquired after
their fourth round of

72
00:03:32,252 --> 00:03:34,118
vodka soaked love making.

73
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,220
Niet. Not yet, Natasha stated.

74
00:03:37,222 --> 00:03:41,325
Exhausted, but greatful.

75
00:03:44,495 --> 00:03:46,363
Comments?

76
00:03:46,365 --> 00:03:49,866
I have to say I love the
way that Yuri is developing.

77
00:03:49,867 --> 00:03:50,835
You do?

78
00:03:50,836 --> 00:03:51,902
Colette, I love the character.

79
00:03:51,903 --> 00:03:52,837
Ok.

80
00:03:52,838 --> 00:03:55,038
If you ask John k butzin,

81
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,207
you're gonna have to explain
why this woman would

82
00:03:58,209 --> 00:04:00,376
go awol on her husband.

83
00:04:00,377 --> 00:04:01,311
What?

84
00:04:01,312 --> 00:04:02,912
That's so iffy to me.

85
00:04:02,914 --> 00:04:05,214
I was a little
bothered by that too.

86
00:04:05,216 --> 00:04:09,085
Why would Natasha betray a
reliable, dependable husband

87
00:04:09,087 --> 00:04:11,153
for a washed up young punk?

88
00:04:11,155 --> 00:04:12,254
Well...

89
00:04:15,326 --> 00:04:17,926
I've been rewriting and
rewriting and rewriting

90
00:04:17,928 --> 00:04:20,095
and I don't know.

91
00:04:20,097 --> 00:04:21,363
Poodles, it's ok.

92
00:04:21,365 --> 00:04:23,465
It's not ok, Alan. It's not.

93
00:04:23,467 --> 00:04:27,369
I mean I can't find the
motivation for Natasha

94
00:04:27,371 --> 00:04:28,903
like everybody else can.

95
00:04:28,905 --> 00:04:30,171
So I can't, I'm not a writer.

96
00:04:30,173 --> 00:04:32,107
Woah, time out, ok.

97
00:04:32,109 --> 00:04:33,875
The dude is good in bed.

98
00:04:33,877 --> 00:04:36,177
That is all the
motivation she needs.

99
00:04:36,179 --> 00:04:40,981
Listen, I would torpedo
chapter 2, and just pull

100
00:04:40,983 --> 00:04:44,218
all the focus back onto
this nijinski dame.

101
00:04:44,220 --> 00:04:45,719
Natasha.

102
00:04:45,721 --> 00:04:48,722
Yeah. I-I agree with
John and William.

103
00:04:48,724 --> 00:04:50,991
That's exactly what
I was gonna say.

104
00:04:50,993 --> 00:04:53,160
I think just make it more
clear that Natasha wants

105
00:04:53,162 --> 00:04:55,496
to be closer to Yuri.

106
00:04:55,498 --> 00:04:59,399
Writing can be such a solitary
existence, so it's great

107
00:04:59,401 --> 00:05:01,968
to have this outlet where
you can exchange ideas

108
00:05:01,970 --> 00:05:03,770
with other writers.

109
00:05:03,772 --> 00:05:06,339
I mean with this group, it
really is all for one

110
00:05:06,341 --> 00:05:08,975
and one for all.

111
00:05:08,977 --> 00:05:10,143
I work two jobs.

112
00:05:10,145 --> 00:05:13,513
Delivering pizzas
and cleaning carpets.

113
00:05:13,515 --> 00:05:16,082
Which are good jobs for a
writer 'cuz you meet

114
00:05:16,084 --> 00:05:18,950
lots of interesting people.

115
00:05:18,952 --> 00:05:21,253
My whole life I dreamed
about playing football

116
00:05:21,255 --> 00:05:24,289
for the fighting illini.

117
00:05:24,291 --> 00:05:27,459
And uh, I got to go to the
university of Illinois

118
00:05:27,461 --> 00:05:31,897
on a full ride college
football scholarship.

119
00:05:31,899 --> 00:05:36,968
But, right at the beginning
of my freshman year,

120
00:05:36,970 --> 00:05:39,804
I blew my knee out.

121
00:05:39,806 --> 00:05:42,840
And that ended that dream.

122
00:05:42,842 --> 00:05:47,078
And that same fall,
I took English 101.

123
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,848
Dr. buchannon.

124
00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:55,386
He introduced me to steinbeck
and Hemingway and Fitzgerald

125
00:05:55,388 --> 00:06:00,023
and he encouraged me to write.

126
00:06:00,025 --> 00:06:04,127
It just set me off on a whole
new creative journey.

127
00:06:04,129 --> 00:06:08,498
Hi, I'm originally
from Prescott, Arizona.

128
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:11,367
I followed my mom out
here about four years ago.

129
00:06:11,369 --> 00:06:13,203
There she is back there.

130
00:06:13,205 --> 00:06:14,370
Stop.

131
00:06:14,372 --> 00:06:15,839
My parents are divorced.

132
00:06:15,841 --> 00:06:18,141
Not fault.

133
00:06:18,143 --> 00:06:22,911
So I moved here and, um, got
into a few writing classes

134
00:06:22,913 --> 00:06:27,716
I just loved it.
24/7 total dedication.

135
00:06:27,718 --> 00:06:29,451
The writing always comes first.

136
00:06:29,453 --> 00:06:31,086
That's my mantra.

137
00:06:31,088 --> 00:06:32,955
She even had it sewn
onto a pillow for me.

138
00:06:32,957 --> 00:06:35,958
Everything that John k. Butzin
has learned about writing

139
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,094
comes down to two simple words.

140
00:06:39,096 --> 00:06:41,762
Tom Clancy.

141
00:06:41,764 --> 00:06:42,897
That's write my friends.

142
00:06:42,899 --> 00:06:45,066
The man is a genius.

143
00:06:45,068 --> 00:06:46,200
Does his research.

144
00:06:46,202 --> 00:06:49,003
All of those nitty
gritty details.

145
00:06:49,005 --> 00:06:51,339
Now that is writing.

146
00:06:51,341 --> 00:06:54,075
Why'd I come to LA?

147
00:06:54,077 --> 00:06:55,977
Um.

148
00:06:55,979 --> 00:06:57,478
Because I knew you were
here and you'd lend me

149
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,047
a hundred bucks if
I asked ya, right?

150
00:07:00,049 --> 00:07:01,381
Right? C'mon.

151
00:07:03,484 --> 00:07:06,353
Thank you, babe.

152
00:07:08,055 --> 00:07:09,890
I already got her number.

153
00:07:09,892 --> 00:07:11,925
Maybe I'll text her.

154
00:07:11,927 --> 00:07:13,827
Maybe I won't.

155
00:07:13,829 --> 00:07:15,195
I don't know.

156
00:07:15,197 --> 00:07:17,063
I'm an optometrist in glendale.

157
00:07:17,065 --> 00:07:18,832
Yes he is.

158
00:07:18,834 --> 00:07:21,300
And I am a full time writer.

159
00:07:21,302 --> 00:07:23,936
Yes, you are, honey.

160
00:07:23,938 --> 00:07:25,271
And our last name is mooney.

161
00:07:25,273 --> 00:07:27,806
So you can call us moonies.

162
00:07:27,808 --> 00:07:29,341
We get that joke all the time.

163
00:07:29,343 --> 00:07:30,376
Yes, everybody says it.

164
00:07:30,378 --> 00:07:31,977
It's very funny. It's uh...

165
00:07:31,979 --> 00:07:34,313
Moonies.

166
00:07:34,981 --> 00:07:37,316
Right now I have two unpublished
novels and I'm working

167
00:07:37,318 --> 00:07:42,187
on a third that I'm
really excited about.

168
00:07:42,189 --> 00:07:45,390
It's called <i>pizza to go.</i>

169
00:07:45,392 --> 00:07:51,396
It's about a guy named
Scott who meets all these

170
00:07:51,398 --> 00:07:54,933
interesting characters.

171
00:07:54,935 --> 00:08:01,105
Um, I'm pretty happy with
what I've got so far.

172
00:08:01,107 --> 00:08:06,476
But it's only a hundred
pages long right now.

173
00:08:06,478 --> 00:08:07,911
And I'm stuck.

174
00:08:07,913 --> 00:08:11,181
I haven't written in two weeks.

175
00:08:11,183 --> 00:08:16,787
Hannah keeps teasing me
about my writers block.

176
00:08:16,789 --> 00:08:19,323
I think about her a lot.

177
00:08:19,325 --> 00:08:21,358
She's all I think about.

178
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,859
I really want to ask her out.

179
00:08:23,861 --> 00:08:27,763
My latest project is called
<i>sleeping on the moon.</i>

180
00:08:27,765 --> 00:08:30,399
It is about pain and rejection.

181
00:08:30,401 --> 00:08:32,101
And, oh...

182
00:08:32,103 --> 00:08:34,470
It's not about a moon.

183
00:08:34,472 --> 00:08:36,272
It's confusing.

184
00:08:36,274 --> 00:08:41,477
But actually the moon
part is more of a...

185
00:08:42,412 --> 00:08:44,980
You know? It's not
really what it is.

186
00:08:44,982 --> 00:08:46,348
It's not an actual...

187
00:08:46,350 --> 00:08:49,417
No one's sleeping on the moon.

188
00:08:49,419 --> 00:08:54,289
But there's a word for that.
It's a um...

189
00:08:54,291 --> 00:08:56,191
You know? Um, um.

190
00:08:56,193 --> 00:08:57,292
Metaphor.

191
00:08:57,294 --> 00:09:00,962
That was actually crawling out
of my mouth, metaphor, so...

192
00:09:00,964 --> 00:09:02,464
Thanks, ma.

193
00:09:02,466 --> 00:09:06,333
John k butzin has one agent
that is very interested in

194
00:09:06,335 --> 00:09:09,970
<i>roaring lion</i> and there's a
publisher up in oxnard

195
00:09:09,972 --> 00:09:12,740
who's reading it as we speak.

196
00:09:12,742 --> 00:09:17,211
Plus, there's a certain cousin
who has a best friend who has

197
00:09:17,213 --> 00:09:21,982
a neighbor that has an in
with Mr. Clint Eastwood,

198
00:09:21,984 --> 00:09:26,419
so it looks like <i>roaring lion</i>
will be roaring at the

199
00:09:26,421 --> 00:09:30,256
I'm just not sure how the other
members of the writing group

200
00:09:30,258 --> 00:09:34,227
are going to handle so much
success by one person.

201
00:09:34,229 --> 00:09:37,730
I just hope they don't all turn
out to be a bunch of pussies.

202
00:09:37,732 --> 00:09:41,000
I am here because of bukowski.

203
00:09:41,002 --> 00:09:42,835
Charles bukowski.

204
00:09:42,837 --> 00:09:46,738
Greatest writer ever.

205
00:09:46,740 --> 00:09:48,206
Period.

206
00:09:48,208 --> 00:09:49,808
LA is his town, man.

207
00:09:49,810 --> 00:09:52,311
I mean, if I'm going to be
a writer then I need to

208
00:09:52,313 --> 00:09:55,147
walk in bukowski's shoes.
You know?

209
00:09:55,149 --> 00:10:01,153
Capture and experience the
plight of the working class.

210
00:10:01,155 --> 00:10:02,921
Colette here is the real writer.

211
00:10:02,923 --> 00:10:04,922
No, honey, you are.

212
00:10:04,923 --> 00:10:05,724
No, you are, you are.

213
00:10:05,725 --> 00:10:06,224
You are.

214
00:10:06,225 --> 00:10:08,492
I am, I am.

215
00:10:08,494 --> 00:10:10,127
You're right.

216
00:10:10,129 --> 00:10:11,495
I'm more of an idea guy.

217
00:10:11,497 --> 00:10:12,763
Mmhmm.

218
00:10:12,765 --> 00:10:16,067
You know, I get
these great ideas...

219
00:10:16,069 --> 00:10:21,138
But I don't always
follow through. You know?

220
00:10:21,140 --> 00:10:22,140
In a lot of things.
Not just writing.

221
00:10:22,141 --> 00:10:24,275
I'll show you. I'll show you.

222
00:10:29,213 --> 00:10:33,750
Idea for romantic novel.

223
00:10:33,752 --> 00:10:34,951
No.

224
00:10:34,953 --> 00:10:37,253
Make that idea for
romantic e-book.

225
00:10:37,255 --> 00:10:38,421
Right?

226
00:10:38,423 --> 00:10:41,358
It's just... you know,
the times.

227
00:10:43,994 --> 00:10:45,728
Frovers.

228
00:10:47,997 --> 00:10:50,265
They couldn't be friends.

229
00:10:50,267 --> 00:10:53,001
They couldn't be lovers.

230
00:10:53,003 --> 00:10:55,270
So they became frovers.

231
00:10:55,272 --> 00:10:56,472
Oh my God.

232
00:10:58,041 --> 00:11:00,075
Honey.

233
00:11:00,077 --> 00:11:02,177
That just, right now
that came to you?

234
00:11:02,179 --> 00:11:03,179
It did. It just did.

235
00:11:03,180 --> 00:11:04,080
Baby.

236
00:11:04,081 --> 00:11:05,048
I know. I love you.

237
00:11:05,049 --> 00:11:06,314
I'm so...

238
00:11:06,316 --> 00:11:09,283
It's just the idea that they
couldn't, if they couldn't be

239
00:11:09,285 --> 00:11:13,121
this one or this one, but
then you take that word,

240
00:11:13,123 --> 00:11:14,756
those two words and make it one.

241
00:11:14,758 --> 00:11:19,127
Well I didn't know we were
going to do like questions.

242
00:11:19,129 --> 00:11:22,463
Um, I've never
thought about that. Wow.

243
00:11:22,464 --> 00:11:23,298
Favorite.

244
00:11:23,299 --> 00:11:25,166
Favorite writer.

245
00:11:25,168 --> 00:11:28,702
Wow, that's a tough one.

246
00:11:28,704 --> 00:11:31,004
You know I've studied
more composition

247
00:11:31,006 --> 00:11:34,975
over actual literature.

248
00:11:34,977 --> 00:11:38,478
But Ms. Maureen over here,
I know she loves a writer

249
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,480
by the name of...

250
00:11:40,482 --> 00:11:43,150
Jane, um...

251
00:11:45,820 --> 00:11:47,253
Jane?

252
00:11:48,989 --> 00:11:50,156
It's on the tip of my tongue.

253
00:11:50,157 --> 00:11:51,124
Austen.

254
00:11:51,125 --> 00:11:52,792
Austen. Jane Austen.

255
00:11:52,793 --> 00:11:53,460
That's the one.

256
00:11:53,461 --> 00:11:56,128
I hear she's good, so...

257
00:11:56,130 --> 00:11:57,329
Yeah.

258
00:11:57,331 --> 00:12:00,132
Go Jane, keep it up.

259
00:12:00,134 --> 00:12:05,004
Meet someone very special here
with us today all the way from-

260
00:12:05,006 --> 00:12:06,006
Germany.

261
00:12:06,007 --> 00:12:07,239
Ah, that accent.

262
00:12:07,241 --> 00:12:08,473
I love it. It drives me crazy.

263
00:12:08,475 --> 00:12:11,209
It's so world war ii.

264
00:12:11,211 --> 00:12:13,111
I found her at a hardware store.

265
00:12:13,113 --> 00:12:16,748
Went in to buy a drill bit and
came out with a prime candidate

266
00:12:16,750 --> 00:12:21,252
for Mrs. John k
butzin the fourth.

267
00:12:21,254 --> 00:12:23,888
This my wall of America.

268
00:12:23,890 --> 00:12:27,125
And in the center, of course,

269
00:12:27,127 --> 00:12:31,995
is the man I admire
most in America.

270
00:12:31,997 --> 00:12:33,964
Ya.

271
00:12:33,966 --> 00:12:38,435
My special guy, John butzin.

272
00:12:38,437 --> 00:12:43,874
Soon to become very rich.
Very famous.

273
00:12:43,876 --> 00:12:47,244
Already very sexy.

274
00:12:48,846 --> 00:12:55,846
Then maybe sigrid hagenguth
becomes Mrs. John k butzin. Ya?

275
00:12:56,454 --> 00:12:58,387
Yeah. The people in the
group are great.

276
00:12:58,389 --> 00:13:00,823
They're ok.

277
00:13:00,825 --> 00:13:02,992
They can't write for shit.

278
00:13:02,994 --> 00:13:04,894
I do pencil and paper.

279
00:13:04,896 --> 00:13:06,963
Just old school-
She does, yeah.

280
00:13:06,965 --> 00:13:09,197
Just I write down my ideas.

281
00:13:09,199 --> 00:13:10,465
I mean I have a lot of things.

282
00:13:10,467 --> 00:13:12,701
I'm juggling a lot
of stories right now.

283
00:13:12,703 --> 00:13:15,937
One is-is about-one I
can't because I'm afraid of

284
00:13:15,939 --> 00:13:17,806
like copyright infringement.

285
00:13:17,808 --> 00:13:19,140
Yeah, that's a worry
that we have that if we

286
00:13:19,142 --> 00:13:21,076
say our material-
If we say our ideas

287
00:13:21,078 --> 00:13:22,310
yeah, is that
gonna be a problem?

288
00:13:22,312 --> 00:13:25,347
Oh man, that's...

289
00:13:25,349 --> 00:13:27,349
That's Richard broadwell.

290
00:13:27,351 --> 00:13:31,385
Yeah, he's a fantastic writer.

291
00:13:31,387 --> 00:13:35,155
He's, uh, written seven novels.

292
00:13:35,157 --> 00:13:36,991
I gotta a couple of them here.

293
00:13:36,993 --> 00:13:38,125
Yeah, right on top.

294
00:13:38,127 --> 00:13:40,961
Babylon express is one.

295
00:13:40,963 --> 00:13:45,065
Um, there's a couple
more in there somewhere.

296
00:13:45,067 --> 00:13:52,066
Um, he's like Fitzgerald of
his generation, you know?

297
00:13:52,073 --> 00:13:54,240
That prolific.

298
00:13:54,242 --> 00:13:56,776
I'm the leader,
the group leader.

299
00:13:56,778 --> 00:13:59,712
After all, getting
together was my idea.

300
00:13:59,714 --> 00:14:00,980
They were all my patients.

301
00:14:00,982 --> 00:14:02,415
That's how we met.

302
00:14:02,417 --> 00:14:06,286
First one published
gets a free eye exam.

303
00:14:12,492 --> 00:14:15,727
This is where I come
for inspiration.

304
00:14:15,729 --> 00:14:20,933
I believe that every writer
needs to have a place

305
00:14:20,935 --> 00:14:25,037
where they can have some
tranquility and peace

306
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,106
And solitude.

307
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:32,443
This is my place.

308
00:14:32,445 --> 00:14:37,148
I'll come here and meditate.

309
00:14:37,150 --> 00:14:40,051
I'll come here and
write in my journal.

310
00:14:40,053 --> 00:14:43,421
This is where the
magic happens for me.

311
00:14:43,423 --> 00:14:46,390
This is where I plan my
creative path for the day.

312
00:14:48,928 --> 00:14:51,329
This is my walden pond.

313
00:14:51,331 --> 00:14:53,229
Why did I form the group?

314
00:14:53,231 --> 00:14:57,167
I wanted to help Colette.

315
00:14:57,169 --> 00:15:00,737
Oh, I certainly enjoy the
creative process I do.

316
00:15:00,739 --> 00:15:02,439
But Colette?

317
00:15:02,441 --> 00:15:05,375
Writing is her dream.

318
00:15:05,377 --> 00:15:08,778
And I'd do anything
for her because...

319
00:15:08,780 --> 00:15:10,747
Because she's my dream.

320
00:15:10,749 --> 00:15:14,350
My favorite author would
have to be Josie dediem.

321
00:15:17,254 --> 00:15:21,056
Her writing sends shivers
down my spine sometimes.

322
00:15:21,058 --> 00:15:25,327
Although, Joyce Carol oates
has been known to

323
00:15:25,329 --> 00:15:28,430
bring me to actual orgasm.

324
00:15:34,203 --> 00:15:37,171
Possible names for
future characters.

325
00:15:37,173 --> 00:15:39,807
Anthony gilmore.

326
00:15:39,809 --> 00:15:41,909
No, wait.

327
00:15:41,911 --> 00:15:44,812
Anthony t. Gilmore.
Much better.

328
00:15:44,814 --> 00:15:46,180
Fiona fox.

329
00:15:46,182 --> 00:15:49,917
Slate McCoy. Fletcher peck.

330
00:15:50,786 --> 00:15:54,421
And a man known simply as banjo.

331
00:15:55,356 --> 00:15:59,459
That? Oh that's a picture of me.
Yes, thank you for noticing.

332
00:15:59,461 --> 00:16:00,961
Yes, this a picture of me.

333
00:16:00,963 --> 00:16:02,929
Me inspires I and
I inspires I...

334
00:16:02,931 --> 00:16:04,164
Me.

335
00:16:04,166 --> 00:16:05,899
I me.

336
00:16:07,769 --> 00:16:09,970
"You only fail if
you stop writing."

337
00:16:09,972 --> 00:16:13,739
Ray Brad... bury.

338
00:16:13,741 --> 00:16:16,976
Tonight's the night
I'm asking Hannah out.

339
00:16:16,978 --> 00:16:18,377
Yeah, I'm doing it.

340
00:16:18,379 --> 00:16:20,846
I'm doing it. It's time.

341
00:16:20,848 --> 00:16:25,751
I really like her, you know?
And she likes me.

342
00:16:25,752 --> 00:16:26,720
I think.

343
00:16:26,721 --> 00:16:28,854
I'm getting that vibe.

344
00:16:28,856 --> 00:16:30,690
So, I'm doing it.

345
00:16:30,692 --> 00:16:36,695
It's-it's time to
take action, so...

346
00:16:36,697 --> 00:16:38,196
I'm gonna ask her out.

347
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:42,767
Hey meathead, how come we never
chow down at your quarters?

348
00:16:42,769 --> 00:16:44,035
This is my quarters.

349
00:16:44,037 --> 00:16:45,370
Close to the working people.

350
00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:47,005
Hey, has anybody seen Hannah?

351
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:48,139
Time to get started.

352
00:16:48,141 --> 00:16:51,476
Nope, ready to read people.
Let's go.

353
00:16:51,478 --> 00:16:55,212
William's right. We'll start,
she'll show up.

354
00:16:56,414 --> 00:16:58,348
William, sweetheart, aren't
these the same three pages that

355
00:16:58,350 --> 00:16:59,416
you read last time, honey?

356
00:16:59,418 --> 00:17:01,418
Nope. They're different.

357
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:04,988
No. They're different.
I changed a word.

358
00:17:04,990 --> 00:17:06,123
One word?

359
00:17:06,125 --> 00:17:09,693
Writing is rewriting, Colette.
Bukowski said it.

360
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:13,030
You write five words,
you rewrite seven.

361
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:14,864
No, um...

362
00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:16,365
Dorothy Parker said that-

363
00:17:16,367 --> 00:17:17,800
who gives a shit who said it?

364
00:17:17,802 --> 00:17:19,802
One word, Jesus h Christ.

365
00:17:19,804 --> 00:17:21,270
It's my creative vision, John.
It's how I work.

366
00:17:21,272 --> 00:17:23,005
Which we are here to support.

367
00:17:23,006 --> 00:17:23,941
Absolutely.

368
00:17:23,942 --> 00:17:24,842
This is William's decision.

369
00:17:24,843 --> 00:17:26,242
Just read it. Just read it.

370
00:17:26,244 --> 00:17:28,711
And tell me if you can
figure out the word.

371
00:17:28,713 --> 00:17:32,982
And then tell me if you think
it's better or worse.

372
00:17:32,984 --> 00:17:34,951
One goddamn word.

373
00:17:35,752 --> 00:17:37,119
Anyone?

374
00:17:37,854 --> 00:17:38,954
Flawed?

375
00:17:38,956 --> 00:17:40,055
Close.

376
00:17:40,057 --> 00:17:41,990
Oh, I got it.

377
00:17:41,992 --> 00:17:44,926
It was "this" last
week and it's "the."

378
00:17:44,928 --> 00:17:46,027
Nope.

379
00:17:46,029 --> 00:17:47,229
Is it a noun?

380
00:17:47,230 --> 00:17:48,197
Yes.

381
00:17:48,198 --> 00:17:50,031
Oh ooh.

382
00:17:50,032 --> 00:17:50,833
Drink?

383
00:17:50,834 --> 00:17:52,467
No, that's the same.

384
00:17:52,469 --> 00:17:54,736
If I had a bayonet,
I'd stab myself.

385
00:17:54,738 --> 00:17:55,770
Thank you.

386
00:17:55,772 --> 00:17:58,005
You're welcome exciting stuff.

387
00:17:58,007 --> 00:17:59,874
You guys, I wonder what
happened to Hannah.

388
00:17:59,876 --> 00:18:02,009
It's not like her to miss.

389
00:18:02,011 --> 00:18:05,079
Guys, I'm so sorry. I'm so
sorry I missed the meeting.

390
00:18:05,081 --> 00:18:06,847
What happened, honey?
Did your car break down?

391
00:18:06,849 --> 00:18:07,948
Did you oversleep?

392
00:18:07,950 --> 00:18:09,150
Is Maureen ok?

393
00:18:09,151 --> 00:18:10,118
You haven't met a guy?

394
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,752
Look at her, look at that glow.

395
00:18:11,754 --> 00:18:14,021
Actually I-I did meet a guy.

396
00:18:14,023 --> 00:18:15,023
Yes.

397
00:18:15,024 --> 00:18:16,389
Told ya.

398
00:18:16,391 --> 00:18:18,291
His name is Bryan.

399
00:18:18,293 --> 00:18:20,226
Get ready.

400
00:18:20,228 --> 00:18:21,928
He's my new agent.

401
00:18:21,930 --> 00:18:24,864
Ahhh.

402
00:18:30,305 --> 00:18:37,304
of <i>sleeping on the moon</i>,
and I guess my teacher really

403
00:18:37,411 --> 00:18:40,345
liked it, so he gave it
to his friend Bryan,

404
00:18:40,347 --> 00:18:42,981
who happened to be an agent.

405
00:18:42,983 --> 00:18:44,216
He called me.

406
00:18:44,218 --> 00:18:45,851
He wants to sign me.

407
00:18:45,853 --> 00:18:47,186
I bet Bryan wants
more than that.

408
00:18:47,188 --> 00:18:48,787
That is so fantastic.

409
00:18:48,789 --> 00:18:49,955
That is wonderful young lady.
I solute you.

410
00:18:49,957 --> 00:18:50,957
Thank you!

411
00:18:50,958 --> 00:18:52,724
Absolutely.
That's fantastic.

412
00:18:52,726 --> 00:18:54,092
Where's he located?

413
00:18:54,094 --> 00:18:55,160
Beverly hills.

414
00:18:55,162 --> 00:18:56,829
Is he gay?

415
00:18:56,831 --> 00:18:58,362
No. No.

416
00:18:58,364 --> 00:19:01,833
Excuse me, could you
take a picture of us?

417
00:19:01,835 --> 00:19:03,835
Thank you so much.

418
00:19:04,970 --> 00:19:06,737
Everybody smile.

419
00:19:07,072 --> 00:19:08,906
Agent!

420
00:19:10,075 --> 00:19:11,976
That was cute that
you said that.

421
00:19:11,978 --> 00:19:13,811
Why didn't anybody say agent?

422
00:19:13,813 --> 00:19:15,079
I thought it was a good idea.

423
00:19:16,082 --> 00:19:17,814
Ok.

424
00:19:17,816 --> 00:19:18,882
To Hannah.

425
00:19:18,884 --> 00:19:19,884
To Hannah!

426
00:19:20,051 --> 00:19:22,419
To Hannah.

427
00:19:22,421 --> 00:19:23,753
Thanks guys.

428
00:19:23,755 --> 00:19:26,756
Look, we are all
in this together.

429
00:19:26,758 --> 00:19:27,958
Ok? I'd be nowhere
without this group.

430
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,259
All for one.

431
00:19:29,261 --> 00:19:30,327
Yeah.

432
00:19:30,329 --> 00:19:31,828
One for all.

433
00:19:32,197 --> 00:19:35,732
I'm merely the first one to get
an agent, but we're all gonna

434
00:19:35,734 --> 00:19:37,133
get signed eventually.

435
00:19:37,135 --> 00:19:40,836
Well, as a matter of fact..

436
00:19:40,838 --> 00:19:44,173
There is an agent in
Santa Monica who is

437
00:19:44,175 --> 00:19:49,011
very, very interested
in John k. Butzin.

438
00:19:49,013 --> 00:19:52,081
He's reading my
manuscript as we speak.

439
00:19:53,683 --> 00:19:55,084
Yay!

440
00:19:55,086 --> 00:19:58,887
Hey bro, you got ten
bucks I can borrow?

441
00:19:58,889 --> 00:20:00,688
Uh... Yeah, sure.

442
00:20:04,794 --> 00:20:05,794
Thanks, bro.

443
00:20:05,795 --> 00:20:06,395
You're the best.

444
00:20:06,396 --> 00:20:07,729
K, guys-

445
00:20:07,731 --> 00:20:10,064
congratulations again, hannnah.

446
00:20:10,066 --> 00:20:11,099
Way to go, Hannah.

447
00:20:11,101 --> 00:20:12,967
Thank you.

448
00:20:13,702 --> 00:20:14,969
Bye.

449
00:20:14,971 --> 00:20:16,037
Hannah's got an agent.

450
00:20:16,039 --> 00:20:17,372
Yeah, she must have
slept with him.

451
00:20:17,374 --> 00:20:18,873
Of course she did.

452
00:20:19,874 --> 00:20:21,341
That really is cool, Hannah.

453
00:20:21,343 --> 00:20:22,843
Oh thank you.

454
00:20:22,845 --> 00:20:24,211
You're time will come, Henry.

455
00:20:24,213 --> 00:20:25,812
You're a better
writer than I am.

456
00:20:25,814 --> 00:20:28,315
A much better writer.
You went to college.

457
00:20:28,317 --> 00:20:30,250
Great, amazing
writer Henry obert.

458
00:20:30,252 --> 00:20:31,351
I knew him when.

459
00:20:32,954 --> 00:20:39,692
Listen, I was thinking maybe
some afternoon we could um...

460
00:20:39,694 --> 00:20:45,231
I don't know, go for a drive,
or see the sights, I guess.

461
00:20:45,233 --> 00:20:46,432
Yeah, that would be great.

462
00:20:46,434 --> 00:20:48,100
You know, I've been
out here four years

463
00:20:48,102 --> 00:20:50,269
and I still haven't seen...

464
00:20:50,271 --> 00:20:51,271
Oh my God.

465
00:20:51,272 --> 00:20:55,074
It's just been four years
since I moved out here, and I

466
00:20:55,076 --> 00:20:56,676
just got an agent.

467
00:20:56,678 --> 00:20:59,345
Number four-that's
my lucky number.

468
00:20:59,347 --> 00:21:01,279
I should have known
this was gonna happen.

469
00:21:01,281 --> 00:21:03,848
There's nobody more deserving.

470
00:21:07,086 --> 00:21:09,721
I'm going to dedicate
my novel to you.

471
00:21:11,924 --> 00:21:14,426
Good night, Henry obert.

472
00:21:14,428 --> 00:21:15,694
'Night.

473
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:22,166
Wow.

474
00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:26,971
Idea for a novel.

475
00:21:26,973 --> 00:21:29,707
A us senator is also a vampire.

476
00:21:30,842 --> 00:21:32,343
Yes.

477
00:22:09,312 --> 00:22:15,417
Y novel is called <i>niet, not yet</i>
by Colette mooney.

478
00:22:15,419 --> 00:22:19,454
It's about a Russian
woman, her story,

479
00:22:19,456 --> 00:22:22,256
her search for love
in this country.

480
00:22:22,258 --> 00:22:29,258
It's inspired by a story
that I heard from a massage

481
00:22:29,399 --> 00:22:32,833
client of mine named Yuri.

482
00:22:34,771 --> 00:22:35,771
Yuri.

483
00:22:35,772 --> 00:22:37,004
Shhh.

484
00:22:37,272 --> 00:22:38,939
Favorite author?

485
00:22:38,941 --> 00:22:41,709
Oh, that question again.

486
00:22:41,711 --> 00:22:44,277
I still don't have an answer.

487
00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:45,979
There are so many.

488
00:22:45,981 --> 00:22:49,749
Who would of thought that
I used to do massage?

489
00:22:49,751 --> 00:22:52,185
I know. No, it's true.

490
00:22:52,187 --> 00:22:55,422
In fact that's how I met
Alan for the first time.

491
00:22:55,424 --> 00:22:57,457
Although don't let him tell
you any differently because

492
00:22:57,459 --> 00:22:59,192
I know that he will try.

493
00:22:59,194 --> 00:23:04,930
It's absolutely not true that
I gave him the kind of massage

494
00:23:04,932 --> 00:23:07,399
that he really wanted.

495
00:23:07,401 --> 00:23:09,201
'Cuz I didn't.

496
00:23:09,203 --> 00:23:11,437
I did not give him...

497
00:23:11,439 --> 00:23:13,806
At least not the
first time I didn't.

498
00:23:13,808 --> 00:23:18,410
Absolutely. I have
morals and values.

499
00:23:18,412 --> 00:23:22,181
Bottom line is if Hannah
can get an agent, so can I.

500
00:23:22,183 --> 00:23:24,816
So yeah, I am superstitious.

501
00:23:24,818 --> 00:23:27,385
I know, I'm guilty.

502
00:23:27,387 --> 00:23:29,821
I'm very drawn
to the number four.

503
00:23:29,823 --> 00:23:34,425
I was born on 4:04
pm on April fourth.

504
00:23:34,427 --> 00:23:36,394
Yeah, four four four four.

505
00:23:36,396 --> 00:23:39,297
I mean, that is not an accident.

506
00:23:39,299 --> 00:23:40,932
No way.

507
00:23:40,934 --> 00:23:42,300
Things I like to avoid.

508
00:23:42,302 --> 00:23:44,201
Well, black cats, broken irrors,

509
00:23:44,203 --> 00:23:46,136
and the number thirteen.

510
00:23:46,138 --> 00:23:48,705
Yes, I do not like
the number thirteen.

511
00:23:48,707 --> 00:23:50,807
And everbody that knows
me knows that I do not

512
00:23:50,809 --> 00:23:51,975
like the number thirteen.

513
00:23:51,977 --> 00:23:54,144
Even though three
plus one is four.

514
00:23:54,146 --> 00:23:55,812
And I do like four.

515
00:23:55,814 --> 00:23:58,348
So it's a fine line.

516
00:23:58,350 --> 00:24:00,217
Everybody has a technique.

517
00:24:00,219 --> 00:24:02,752
And this is mine.

518
00:24:03,221 --> 00:24:05,454
A writer has to hear everything.

519
00:24:05,456 --> 00:24:08,390
On the streets.
In the restaurants.

520
00:24:09,092 --> 00:24:12,761
My dialogue has to be so
real, that I'm everywhere.

521
00:24:12,763 --> 00:24:14,930
Standing behind you at
the check out stand.

522
00:24:14,932 --> 00:24:17,366
Peeing next to
you at the urinal.

523
00:24:17,368 --> 00:24:18,368
Oh yeah.

524
00:24:18,369 --> 00:24:20,136
I watch.

525
00:24:20,138 --> 00:24:21,937
I listen.

526
00:24:21,939 --> 00:24:23,439
Writing down scraps
of conversation.

527
00:24:23,441 --> 00:24:24,939
You're writing what
we're saying.

528
00:24:24,941 --> 00:24:25,974
That's right.

529
00:24:25,976 --> 00:24:27,876
I eavesdrop.

530
00:24:27,878 --> 00:24:29,344
Gotta love it.

531
00:24:29,346 --> 00:24:31,079
That's me.

532
00:24:31,081 --> 00:24:32,247
Simple.

533
00:24:32,249 --> 00:24:33,748
Real.

534
00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:35,083
Powerful.

535
00:24:35,085 --> 00:24:36,885
An artist.

536
00:24:36,887 --> 00:24:39,120
These are my rejection letters.

537
00:24:39,122 --> 00:24:42,056
Rejected by agents.

538
00:24:42,058 --> 00:24:44,125
Rejected by publishers.

539
00:24:44,127 --> 00:24:47,828
When I think about it,
it's kind of depressing

540
00:24:47,830 --> 00:24:51,165
how many ways people
can reject you.

541
00:24:51,167 --> 00:24:55,402
This is-this is probably a
rejection letter, you know?

542
00:24:55,404 --> 00:24:57,371
I can't do this today.

543
00:24:57,373 --> 00:24:59,239
I can't open this letter.

544
00:24:59,241 --> 00:25:01,275
I take rejection so personally.

545
00:25:01,277 --> 00:25:04,044
I'll bet it's good news.

546
00:25:04,046 --> 00:25:05,878
You think?
I think.

547
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,016
It could be.
Ok

548
00:25:10,018 --> 00:25:13,152
I think it could be too.

549
00:25:13,154 --> 00:25:15,021
Because today is the day.

550
00:25:15,023 --> 00:25:16,455
That's the spirit.

551
00:25:19,426 --> 00:25:20,860
Oh.

552
00:25:23,931 --> 00:25:25,097
Can you read it?

553
00:25:25,832 --> 00:25:28,133
Uh...

554
00:25:28,135 --> 00:25:29,734
Sorry not interested.

555
00:25:29,736 --> 00:25:30,769
That's what it says, right?

556
00:25:30,771 --> 00:25:32,971
Yeah. Yeah.

557
00:25:35,441 --> 00:25:38,176
Well remember the pink one?

558
00:25:38,178 --> 00:25:39,811
It was way smaller
than this one was.

559
00:25:39,813 --> 00:25:41,713
Yes, it was. It was a lot
smaller.

560
00:25:41,715 --> 00:25:43,181
A lot smaller.

561
00:25:43,183 --> 00:25:46,784
I think that because it's
getting bigger, it could be...

562
00:25:46,786 --> 00:25:47,885
Progress.

563
00:25:48,287 --> 00:25:49,287
Right?

564
00:25:49,288 --> 00:25:51,255
That's right.

565
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,759
I'll save this one.

566
00:25:55,761 --> 00:25:57,294
I'm gonna save this one.

567
00:26:00,066 --> 00:26:01,832
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

568
00:26:01,834 --> 00:26:03,834
I don't know who that could be.

569
00:26:03,835 --> 00:26:04,436
It's ok.

570
00:26:04,437 --> 00:26:06,770
Hi Maureen how are you?

571
00:26:06,772 --> 00:26:07,971
Hello everyone.

572
00:26:07,973 --> 00:26:09,038
Colette's here!

573
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,206
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry.

574
00:26:10,207 --> 00:26:11,141
I didn't know they were here.

575
00:26:11,142 --> 00:26:12,142
Hi guys.

576
00:26:12,143 --> 00:26:13,443
You look so dressed up.

577
00:26:13,445 --> 00:26:14,777
Oh thank you.

578
00:26:14,779 --> 00:26:15,779
You look fantastic too.

579
00:26:15,780 --> 00:26:18,248
I thought I'd bring something
I picked up for my

580
00:26:18,250 --> 00:26:20,683
new favorite author.

581
00:26:20,685 --> 00:26:22,085
There's a note.

582
00:26:22,087 --> 00:26:25,955
"Poodles, now may we have
sex again?" Love Alan.

583
00:26:25,957 --> 00:26:27,723
What mom?

584
00:26:28,291 --> 00:26:29,391
That is amazing.

585
00:26:29,392 --> 00:26:30,293
You're welcome.

586
00:26:30,294 --> 00:26:32,127
Oh gosh, I know what it was.

587
00:26:32,129 --> 00:26:35,097
Really quick I just wanted to
ask about your new agent honey.

588
00:26:35,099 --> 00:26:36,099
Oh, mmhmm?

589
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:39,167
Is he taking on new clients?

590
00:26:39,669 --> 00:26:42,337
Oh, you know what, I don't know.

591
00:26:42,339 --> 00:26:43,672
Could you ask?

592
00:26:43,674 --> 00:26:45,741
'Cuz you know?

593
00:26:45,743 --> 00:26:46,875
I mean if he is...

594
00:26:46,877 --> 00:26:49,076
You know?

595
00:26:49,078 --> 00:26:52,113
Yeah, maybe I could-
could probably do that.

596
00:26:52,115 --> 00:26:54,148
Ok good.

597
00:26:54,150 --> 00:26:57,084
Maybe we can talk about
this at the meeting?

598
00:26:58,854 --> 00:27:00,054
You're right.

599
00:27:00,056 --> 00:27:02,757
Absoultely. Absoultely.

600
00:27:04,059 --> 00:27:04,893
Yeah.

601
00:27:04,894 --> 00:27:06,761
Ok.

602
00:27:07,896 --> 00:27:11,064
Oh, I guess I should go.
It's time.

603
00:27:11,066 --> 00:27:12,932
Thanks Maureen.
This is so sweet.

604
00:27:12,934 --> 00:27:13,967
You're welcome.

605
00:27:13,969 --> 00:27:17,437
Everything is gluten free,
because you know at our age,

606
00:27:17,439 --> 00:27:19,706
honey, it's time to start
being healthy, right?

607
00:27:19,708 --> 00:27:20,740
You know?

608
00:27:20,742 --> 00:27:22,008
When you're young.

609
00:27:22,010 --> 00:27:23,143
You should start young.

610
00:27:23,145 --> 00:27:24,444
Ok, muah.

611
00:27:24,446 --> 00:27:25,912
Congratulations, sweet pea.

612
00:27:25,913 --> 00:27:26,847
Thank you.

613
00:27:26,848 --> 00:27:28,081
Bye guys, see you!

614
00:27:28,082 --> 00:27:28,982
Ohh.

615
00:27:28,983 --> 00:27:30,115
Careful there.

616
00:27:30,116 --> 00:27:30,984
I've not been drinking.

617
00:27:30,985 --> 00:27:31,685
Ohh.

618
00:27:31,686 --> 00:27:32,285
Too much.

619
00:27:32,286 --> 00:27:33,986
Haha.

620
00:27:35,322 --> 00:27:36,722
Ahhh.

621
00:27:36,724 --> 00:27:38,991
Oh my goodness. Colette mooney.

622
00:27:38,993 --> 00:27:42,094
She really is something.

623
00:27:42,096 --> 00:27:43,929
Yes.

624
00:27:43,931 --> 00:27:45,964
Colette mooney.

625
00:27:45,966 --> 00:27:48,667
That girl, she...

626
00:27:50,369 --> 00:27:55,306
C-o-l-l-t-t-e-m-o-o-n-e-y.

627
00:27:56,241 --> 00:27:58,876
That's thirteen letters.

628
00:27:59,346 --> 00:28:00,346
Out.

629
00:28:00,347 --> 00:28:02,013
Out it goes.

630
00:28:02,015 --> 00:28:03,348
It's ok.

631
00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:05,950
I'm not-Colette...

632
00:28:05,952 --> 00:28:08,386
She's not scary, so...

633
00:28:13,858 --> 00:28:15,058
Hannah.

634
00:28:15,060 --> 00:28:16,360
Henry. How are you?

635
00:28:16,362 --> 00:28:18,729
Oh, thank you for
seeing me Alan.

636
00:28:18,730 --> 00:28:19,330
Of course.

637
00:28:19,331 --> 00:28:21,164
No problemo.

638
00:28:21,166 --> 00:28:22,833
Let's get you some new eyewear.

639
00:28:24,702 --> 00:28:26,837
I need something that
makes me look smart.

640
00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:28,138
Ok.

641
00:28:28,140 --> 00:28:30,706
You're already smart Hannah.

642
00:28:35,045 --> 00:28:37,279
This will be perfect.

643
00:28:37,981 --> 00:28:40,416
Why don't you try these?

644
00:28:40,418 --> 00:28:41,751
Ok.

645
00:28:43,787 --> 00:28:45,087
Ehh.

646
00:28:45,089 --> 00:28:46,155
Nah.

647
00:28:46,157 --> 00:28:48,391
Excuse me one sec.

648
00:28:49,426 --> 00:28:51,659
Name for character.

649
00:28:51,661 --> 00:28:53,261
Alexander brown.

650
00:28:53,263 --> 00:28:55,764
Wears brown colored glasses.

651
00:28:55,766 --> 00:28:57,332
Well of course he would.

652
00:28:57,867 --> 00:29:00,902
You know this great idea for a
novel came to me this morning.

653
00:29:00,904 --> 00:29:02,837
It's called<i> woof</i>.

654
00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:04,339
It's about...

655
00:29:08,278 --> 00:29:11,312
It's about a dog who becomes
human for 24 hours in order to

656
00:29:11,314 --> 00:29:13,981
rescue his kidnapped owner.

657
00:29:13,983 --> 00:29:15,816
Hannah, I love this idea.

658
00:29:15,817 --> 00:29:16,785
Could be a winner.

659
00:29:16,786 --> 00:29:18,419
Yeah, you think so?

660
00:29:21,356 --> 00:29:22,756
Do you like these?

661
00:29:22,757 --> 00:29:23,425
You look great.

662
00:29:23,426 --> 00:29:26,960
Do you think you're agent might
be interested in this idea?

663
00:29:26,962 --> 00:29:27,995
Does he have a dog?

664
00:29:27,997 --> 00:29:31,064
Or a cat. It could be a cat.
We could call it <i>meow.</i>

665
00:29:31,066 --> 00:29:34,400
Just think about
mentioning it to him, ok?

666
00:29:34,402 --> 00:29:38,971
Dog or cat becomes human.

667
00:29:39,406 --> 00:29:41,874
I brought you out here because
I would like you to meet

668
00:29:41,876 --> 00:29:45,445
someone who is super duper
important to me.

669
00:29:45,447 --> 00:29:48,915
He is my spiritual advisor.

670
00:29:48,917 --> 00:29:52,951
Dr. xiroman has taken a
year's vow of silence

671
00:29:52,953 --> 00:29:55,187
to protest climate change.

672
00:29:55,189 --> 00:29:56,822
It's just amazing.

673
00:29:56,824 --> 00:30:01,893
He's here today to cleanse
the air of this icky, icky

674
00:30:01,895 --> 00:30:04,062
negative rejection energy air.

675
00:30:04,064 --> 00:30:07,032
So please.

676
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:10,735
Mm mm.

677
00:30:10,737 --> 00:30:13,370
There's a lot more air,
so you can keep going.

678
00:30:16,875 --> 00:30:18,008
That's it?

679
00:30:23,048 --> 00:30:24,315
Hello?

680
00:30:24,317 --> 00:30:25,382
Oh hi!

681
00:30:25,384 --> 00:30:27,218
It's Bryan.

682
00:30:27,686 --> 00:30:29,887
Yes, I'm sitting down.

683
00:30:29,889 --> 00:30:31,021
What?

684
00:30:31,356 --> 00:30:32,389
Oh my God.

685
00:30:32,391 --> 00:30:34,224
Oh my God, oh my God.

686
00:30:34,226 --> 00:30:35,692
Are you serious?

687
00:30:35,693 --> 00:30:36,427
He sold my novel.

688
00:30:36,428 --> 00:30:38,294
Oh!

689
00:30:38,296 --> 00:30:41,264
Shhhh. Oh my God,
I'm here, yes.

690
00:30:41,265 --> 00:30:42,199
How much?

691
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,766
Wow, ok great.

692
00:30:43,768 --> 00:30:45,201
Ok, ok, we'll talk tomorrow.

693
00:30:45,203 --> 00:30:47,270
Ok, thanks Bryan.

694
00:30:47,272 --> 00:30:49,072
Oh!

695
00:30:49,874 --> 00:30:51,174
Wow, Hannah.

696
00:30:51,176 --> 00:30:52,942
Well, we gotta tell the group.

697
00:30:52,944 --> 00:30:55,277
Oh no, no, no. I
don't want to do that.

698
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:57,312
It'll sound like I'm bragging.

699
00:30:57,314 --> 00:30:59,381
And I already got the agent.

700
00:30:59,383 --> 00:31:00,682
Why don't you let me tell them?

701
00:31:02,052 --> 00:31:05,988
Yeah, yeah, you know, they'll
hear it from me first,

702
00:31:05,990 --> 00:31:07,756
and it won't be a thing.

703
00:31:07,758 --> 00:31:09,424
Thank you, Henry.

704
00:31:09,426 --> 00:31:11,426
What would I do without you?

705
00:31:12,963 --> 00:31:17,131
Her and her little
book deal and all.

706
00:31:17,133 --> 00:31:19,967
But it just so happens that
John k butzin has some

707
00:31:19,969 --> 00:31:23,237
news of his own to announce.

708
00:31:24,339 --> 00:31:28,442
I have just inked a deal
with "u r the publisher".

709
00:31:28,444 --> 00:31:31,846
A reputable firm based in...

710
00:31:31,848 --> 00:31:33,681
Well it's overseas.

711
00:31:33,683 --> 00:31:38,151
But they publish
5,000 titles a year.

712
00:31:38,153 --> 00:31:40,253
I'm going to give them $250.

713
00:31:40,255 --> 00:31:46,359
They're gonna format and publish
my novel <i>roaring lion</i>.

714
00:31:47,361 --> 00:31:50,897
Next step, Hollywood.

715
00:31:53,167 --> 00:31:55,834
Hannah's just lucky. That's all.

716
00:31:56,370 --> 00:31:57,370
Guys, here she comes.

717
00:31:57,371 --> 00:31:58,904
Here she comes.

718
00:31:58,906 --> 00:32:00,139
Get ready, get ready.

719
00:32:00,141 --> 00:32:01,807
Surprise!

720
00:32:01,809 --> 00:32:06,111
Ohh! So sweet! Really?

721
00:32:06,113 --> 00:32:08,814
Oh that's so sweet,
you guys. Thanks.

722
00:32:08,816 --> 00:32:10,082
First one published
gets a free eye exam.

723
00:32:10,084 --> 00:32:13,352
Thank you so much.

724
00:32:13,354 --> 00:32:15,753
Wait to go, miss
published author.

725
00:32:15,755 --> 00:32:17,889
Thank you.

726
00:32:17,891 --> 00:32:19,223
Big hug there.

727
00:32:19,225 --> 00:32:21,092
We're all jealous Hannah.

728
00:32:21,094 --> 00:32:22,094
Just teasing you.

729
00:32:22,095 --> 00:32:24,128
No seriously, we're all jealous.

730
00:32:24,130 --> 00:32:25,663
Look, you guys are making
way too much of this.

731
00:32:25,665 --> 00:32:27,298
Really.

732
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:29,067
So when does the book come out?

733
00:32:29,069 --> 00:32:31,202
A year. They said about a year.

734
00:32:31,204 --> 00:32:32,270
How much you get?

735
00:32:32,271 --> 00:32:33,072
Don't ask her that.

736
00:32:33,073 --> 00:32:34,105
Why not?

737
00:32:34,107 --> 00:32:35,873
How much do you get?

738
00:32:35,875 --> 00:32:38,875
Uh, actually I did ok.

739
00:32:39,677 --> 00:32:40,677
Yeah?

740
00:32:40,679 --> 00:32:42,045
Yeah, just leave it at that.

741
00:32:42,047 --> 00:32:43,680
But hey, I owe all of
this to you guys.

742
00:32:43,682 --> 00:32:45,682
I'd be so lost with
out this group.

743
00:32:45,684 --> 00:32:50,287
I don't know if anybody heard,
but "u r the publisher"

744
00:32:50,289 --> 00:32:54,424
has decided to publish <i>roaring
lion</i> by John k butzin.

745
00:32:54,425 --> 00:32:55,326
"U r the publisher"?

746
00:32:55,327 --> 00:32:56,393
That's right.

747
00:32:56,395 --> 00:32:57,793
Self publishing.

748
00:32:57,795 --> 00:32:58,961
E-books.

749
00:32:58,963 --> 00:33:00,730
They print on demand.

750
00:33:00,732 --> 00:33:03,099
Yes, that's right. That's
exactly what they do.

751
00:33:03,101 --> 00:33:05,434
And I'll have my
book in two weeks.

752
00:33:05,436 --> 00:33:07,737
None of this waiting
around crapola.

753
00:33:07,739 --> 00:33:11,807
John k butzin will be
a published author.

754
00:33:11,809 --> 00:33:13,242
And he'll be published first.

755
00:33:13,244 --> 00:33:15,244
John, congratulations.

756
00:33:15,246 --> 00:33:16,646
Right back at ya, kid.

757
00:33:16,648 --> 00:33:18,980
Two published
authors in the group.

758
00:33:18,982 --> 00:33:20,815
The rest of us are
gonna have to catch up.

759
00:33:22,919 --> 00:33:24,219
Just-

760
00:33:24,221 --> 00:33:26,955
gunner stared out over
the bleak horizon

761
00:33:26,957 --> 00:33:30,058
seeing one dead Vietcong
after another.

762
00:33:30,060 --> 00:33:32,927
They scattered on
the bloody hillside.

763
00:33:32,929 --> 00:33:34,429
He had won this time.

764
00:33:34,431 --> 00:33:37,798
But gunner knew that Charlie
would be back in the morning.

765
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,001
And by God, he would be ready.

766
00:33:41,003 --> 00:33:44,838
And so would his m60
general purpose machine gun,

767
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:49,176
and mark 2 fragmentation
hand rifle grenade.

768
00:33:50,345 --> 00:33:52,746
God, that's good stuff.

769
00:33:53,348 --> 00:33:55,115
That's beautiful.

770
00:33:56,351 --> 00:33:57,951
Nicely done, John.

771
00:33:57,953 --> 00:33:59,686
Let's get some feedback.

772
00:33:59,688 --> 00:34:03,423
Ok, well I think in
terms of characters, John-

773
00:34:03,425 --> 00:34:05,692
hold on a minute.
I want to hear from her.

774
00:34:05,694 --> 00:34:08,261
No I don't wanna
hear from everyone.

775
00:34:08,263 --> 00:34:09,962
I want to hear from Hannah.

776
00:34:09,964 --> 00:34:11,397
She has a book coming out.

777
00:34:11,399 --> 00:34:13,866
John k butzin has
a book coming out.

778
00:34:13,868 --> 00:34:16,002
I want to hear from Hannah.

779
00:34:16,003 --> 00:34:16,970
Author to author.

780
00:34:16,971 --> 00:34:18,737
Screw you. Really?

781
00:34:18,739 --> 00:34:22,741
This is really against the
spirit of the group, John.

782
00:34:22,743 --> 00:34:24,242
Everyone's opinion is valid.

783
00:34:24,244 --> 00:34:25,977
Hers is more valid.

784
00:34:25,979 --> 00:34:28,747
What do you say, Hannah?

785
00:34:28,749 --> 00:34:30,015
Um... I...

786
00:34:30,416 --> 00:34:33,351
I'm going outside.

787
00:34:36,689 --> 00:34:40,191
I should probably
go check on him.

788
00:34:40,193 --> 00:34:42,827
Make sure that he is ok.

789
00:34:48,266 --> 00:34:50,434
Let's take a fifteen
minute break, shall we?

790
00:34:50,436 --> 00:34:51,902
Yep.

791
00:34:53,672 --> 00:34:56,073
I'm just gonna go
to the restroom.

792
00:34:58,276 --> 00:35:01,911
You guys need anything else?

793
00:35:09,053 --> 00:35:12,288
Idea for Michael
crichton - type novel.

794
00:35:12,290 --> 00:35:15,024
Members of antarctic
research station attacked

795
00:35:15,026 --> 00:35:16,659
by mutant penguins.

796
00:35:16,661 --> 00:35:18,194
Wait a minute, what was that?

797
00:35:18,196 --> 00:35:21,430
Uh, just an idea
I was working on.

798
00:35:21,432 --> 00:35:23,098
Just uh-

799
00:35:23,099 --> 00:35:24,000
who was that author?

800
00:35:24,001 --> 00:35:24,801
Michael crichton.

801
00:35:24,802 --> 00:35:27,770
Michael chrichton.
Pretty well known author.

802
00:35:27,772 --> 00:35:32,708
Just members of a research team
attacked by mutant penguins.

803
00:35:32,710 --> 00:35:34,343
Really?

804
00:35:35,345 --> 00:35:36,979
We have one rule in this house.

805
00:35:36,981 --> 00:35:39,648
Whatever Colette
wants, Colette gets.

806
00:35:39,650 --> 00:35:40,748
Aw thank you, honey.

807
00:35:40,750 --> 00:35:42,984
If she wants an
audi s4, no problem.

808
00:35:42,986 --> 00:35:44,085
I did, I did.

809
00:35:44,087 --> 00:35:45,119
Credit cards? How many?

810
00:35:45,121 --> 00:35:47,255
Her own business? Done.

811
00:35:47,257 --> 00:35:49,157
An agent?

812
00:35:50,859 --> 00:35:53,161
Call it serendipity,
karma, whatever.

813
00:35:53,163 --> 00:35:56,030
But it just so happens
that very well known

814
00:35:56,032 --> 00:35:57,665
literary agent David kelleher-

815
00:35:57,667 --> 00:36:00,168
so known. He is so known.
I just-

816
00:36:00,170 --> 00:36:04,070
And guess who's coming in
tomorrow to see doctor

817
00:36:04,072 --> 00:36:07,240
Alan mooney for an eye
exam and new glasses?

818
00:36:07,709 --> 00:36:08,709
It's not me.

819
00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:09,310
It's Donald.

820
00:36:09,311 --> 00:36:11,044
Callahan-no, David?

821
00:36:11,046 --> 00:36:13,346
Kelleher.
David kelleher.

822
00:36:13,348 --> 00:36:15,282
David kelleher.

823
00:36:15,284 --> 00:36:17,050
Anyway what am I
supposed to say to her?

824
00:36:17,052 --> 00:36:20,287
Oh Christ, he says
it's pedantic.

825
00:36:20,289 --> 00:36:21,887
Dr. Alan mooney.

826
00:36:21,889 --> 00:36:25,191
I'll call you back.
I'll call you back.

827
00:36:25,193 --> 00:36:27,827
I know. Big fan. Big fan.

828
00:36:27,829 --> 00:36:29,728
Come with me, please.

829
00:36:29,997 --> 00:36:32,097
They're doing a little
documentary about

830
00:36:32,099 --> 00:36:33,966
my writing group.

831
00:36:35,102 --> 00:36:36,102
Really?

832
00:36:36,103 --> 00:36:37,403
Just act natural.

833
00:36:37,904 --> 00:36:40,239
So David, what brings
you hear today?

834
00:36:40,241 --> 00:36:42,740
Near sighted, far sighted.

835
00:36:42,742 --> 00:36:45,410
I do need a prescription
on the reading.

836
00:36:46,779 --> 00:36:49,414
Ok focus on the
"e" for me there.

837
00:36:49,982 --> 00:36:52,016
Obviously you read a lot.

838
00:36:52,018 --> 00:36:53,184
I know that.

839
00:36:54,054 --> 00:36:55,054
You've been getting
any headaches?

840
00:36:55,055 --> 00:36:56,688
No.

841
00:36:57,256 --> 00:37:00,825
Let's see here. Let's see here.

842
00:37:00,827 --> 00:37:05,095
Ok let's do a basic
eye examination.

843
00:37:05,097 --> 00:37:07,364
Read that first line
for me please, David.

844
00:37:07,366 --> 00:37:12,035
L-b-h-k-z-b-c

845
00:37:12,037 --> 00:37:16,974
But anyone can identify
simple letter and numbers.

846
00:37:16,976 --> 00:37:20,978
Let's see how you do reading
a more challenging text.

847
00:37:21,313 --> 00:37:27,984
Natasha the Russian peasant
dressed oh so slowly.

848
00:37:27,986 --> 00:37:31,988
Consumed totally,
completely, absolutely

849
00:37:31,990 --> 00:37:34,924
by endless thoughts of Yuri.

850
00:37:34,926 --> 00:37:35,958
Wow.

851
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,226
Isn't that great writing?

852
00:37:37,228 --> 00:37:38,694
My wife collete wrote that.

853
00:37:38,696 --> 00:37:40,096
The patients just
love reading it.

854
00:37:40,098 --> 00:37:43,832
It's from her new
novel <i>niet, not yet</i>.

855
00:37:45,401 --> 00:37:46,335
I wonder who that could be.

856
00:37:46,336 --> 00:37:47,336
Hi honey.

857
00:37:47,337 --> 00:37:48,370
Oh my goodness.

858
00:37:48,372 --> 00:37:50,338
I'm so sorry to intrude.

859
00:37:50,340 --> 00:37:51,840
Oh gee Colette.

860
00:37:51,842 --> 00:37:53,742
This is a huge coincidence.

861
00:37:53,744 --> 00:37:57,212
We were just talking about
you and here you are.

862
00:37:57,847 --> 00:37:59,080
Where are my manners?

863
00:37:59,082 --> 00:38:01,049
Colette, David kelleher.

864
00:38:01,051 --> 00:38:04,151
David, Colette
mooney, the writer.

865
00:38:04,153 --> 00:38:07,087
Oh my goodness, it is
such a pleasure, David.

866
00:38:07,089 --> 00:38:10,190
Actually Colette is the one
who wrote this beautiful prose

867
00:38:10,192 --> 00:38:11,926
you've been reading.

868
00:38:12,794 --> 00:38:15,095
Honey, I can't believe
this coincidence.

869
00:38:15,097 --> 00:38:18,699
Yes, I was just dropping the-

870
00:38:18,701 --> 00:38:21,969
oh yes, thank you. Thank you for
dropping that buy.

871
00:38:21,971 --> 00:38:25,972
Say honey, David has just been
reading the first page of yours.

872
00:38:25,974 --> 00:38:27,006
You wouldn't happen to
have any more of that

873
00:38:27,008 --> 00:38:29,275
opening chapter would you?

874
00:38:29,277 --> 00:38:31,210
We're in luck because I think-

875
00:38:31,745 --> 00:38:33,379
say, how 'bout that?

876
00:38:33,381 --> 00:38:35,949
Hey.

877
00:38:35,951 --> 00:38:37,350
How 'bout that?

878
00:38:41,889 --> 00:38:43,423
Woah that went very well.

879
00:38:43,425 --> 00:38:45,424
Yes, poodles very.

880
00:38:45,426 --> 00:38:48,226
Although he did seem in a
hurry to leave, didn't he?

881
00:38:48,228 --> 00:38:51,196
The sooner he can begin reading.

882
00:38:53,266 --> 00:38:56,735
I'm holding a copy of my book
that you people sent me,

883
00:38:56,737 --> 00:39:00,005
and there seems to be
some kind of a mistake.

884
00:39:00,007 --> 00:39:04,710
Well, you put a dog on the front
cover, instead of a lion

885
00:39:04,712 --> 00:39:06,110
like we agreed upon.

886
00:39:06,945 --> 00:39:10,081
Right. And let me tell ya
something else.

887
00:39:10,083 --> 00:39:14,118
The back page is in Chinese.

888
00:39:15,020 --> 00:39:16,354
Yes, it's Chinese.

889
00:39:16,356 --> 00:39:18,856
I know Chinese when I see it,
ok?

890
00:39:18,858 --> 00:39:22,893
A Chinese assault rifle almost
cost me an eye at hamburger hill

891
00:39:22,895 --> 00:39:26,162
so I know Chinese when I
see it, alright mister?

892
00:39:27,098 --> 00:39:28,999
This is good, Henry.

893
00:39:29,001 --> 00:39:30,266
This is so good.

894
00:39:30,268 --> 00:39:31,368
Yeah, you think so?

895
00:39:31,370 --> 00:39:33,236
Oh yeah.

896
00:39:34,071 --> 00:39:36,072
Do you think it's
ready for the group?

897
00:39:36,074 --> 00:39:39,409
I can't wait to hear what
happens with Scott and kristy.

898
00:39:39,411 --> 00:39:41,244
Those are such great
characters oh thanks.

899
00:39:41,246 --> 00:39:46,016
Thanks. Yeah, I can't wait to
see what happens with them too.

900
00:39:46,018 --> 00:39:48,650
Oh Henry, you'll figure it out.

901
00:39:48,652 --> 00:39:53,255
Hey, uh... you want to take that
drive we talked about?

902
00:39:53,257 --> 00:39:55,724
I um...

903
00:39:55,726 --> 00:39:57,393
I could use some inspiration.

904
00:39:58,696 --> 00:40:04,800
And what in the h-e-double
hockeysticks is chapter eight?

905
00:40:04,802 --> 00:40:08,803
I mean, this-this is about
hormone replacements for women,

906
00:40:08,805 --> 00:40:12,640
and yeast infections, and
braziere sizes

907
00:40:12,642 --> 00:40:14,342
and feminine washes...

908
00:40:14,344 --> 00:40:17,979
How the hell am I supposed to
show this to Mr. Clint Eastwood?

909
00:40:17,981 --> 00:40:20,848
And I want to know what the hell
you are gonna do about it, ok?

910
00:40:20,850 --> 00:40:25,086
Because you sir are dealing
with a decorated veteran.

911
00:40:25,088 --> 00:40:28,088
A decorated combat vet-

912
00:40:28,090 --> 00:40:29,356
yes, I'll hold.

913
00:40:35,363 --> 00:40:36,930
I have to iron out of
a few things.

914
00:40:36,932 --> 00:40:41,034
Very common in the
publishing world.

915
00:40:41,036 --> 00:40:44,638
What really matters here is
that John k butzin is

916
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,339
finally a published author.

917
00:40:46,341 --> 00:40:48,908
Long overdue and well deserved.

918
00:40:48,910 --> 00:40:50,843
Because-

919
00:40:53,146 --> 00:40:58,250
butzin. John k butzin.

920
00:40:58,885 --> 00:41:01,020
So who lives here?

921
00:41:01,022 --> 00:41:02,955
Richard broadwell.

922
00:41:02,957 --> 00:41:05,224
Oh, the writer you like.

923
00:41:05,226 --> 00:41:10,895
Reading Richard broadwell makes
me want to be a better writer.

924
00:41:10,897 --> 00:41:12,130
He's that good.

925
00:41:12,132 --> 00:41:16,734
I haven't really read any of
this stuff, but nice house.

926
00:41:19,839 --> 00:41:22,307
Well here we are.

927
00:41:22,309 --> 00:41:26,277
North Hayworth Avenue,
Hollywood California.

928
00:41:27,813 --> 00:41:29,680
Ok, big clue time.

929
00:41:29,682 --> 00:41:30,781
Sheilah Graham.

930
00:41:31,783 --> 00:41:33,150
Oh yeah.

931
00:41:33,151 --> 00:41:33,751
Right.

932
00:41:33,752 --> 00:41:35,185
Yeah.

933
00:41:35,187 --> 00:41:36,386
Sheila Graham.
Wow.

934
00:41:36,387 --> 00:41:37,355
Right.

935
00:41:37,356 --> 00:41:39,690
Who was Fitzgerald's lover.

936
00:41:39,692 --> 00:41:46,230
And Fitzgerald died right
here on December 21st, 1940.

937
00:41:47,999 --> 00:41:49,365
Wait, wait wait. Fitgerald?

938
00:41:49,367 --> 00:41:51,100
He's the one who
shot himself, right?

939
00:41:51,101 --> 00:41:52,002
No.

940
00:41:52,003 --> 00:41:54,170
Fitzgerald.

941
00:41:54,172 --> 00:41:55,304
F. Scott Fitzgerald.

942
00:41:55,306 --> 00:41:57,073
He wrote <i>the great gatsby</i>.

943
00:41:58,175 --> 00:41:59,976
Come on, you know.

944
00:41:59,978 --> 00:42:01,944
Gatsby. He believed in
the green life.

945
00:42:01,946 --> 00:42:03,713
The orgiastic future.

946
00:42:03,715 --> 00:42:04,847
The year by year-

947
00:42:04,848 --> 00:42:05,816
I didn't read it.

948
00:42:05,817 --> 00:42:07,783
Come on.

949
00:42:07,785 --> 00:42:10,018
Can we just, like, turn
these off for a second?

950
00:42:10,020 --> 00:42:11,353
Why? What's wrong?

951
00:42:11,355 --> 00:42:12,787
I just...

952
00:42:15,124 --> 00:42:19,194
I have never read
<i>the great gatsby</i>.

953
00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:23,064
Henry, I didn't
go to college, ok?

954
00:42:23,066 --> 00:42:28,336
I mean, I've heard of Hemingway
and twain, somewhere, but I

955
00:42:28,338 --> 00:42:31,238
don't have the smarts and
the education that you do.

956
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:34,642
I haven't read all
these incredible novels.

957
00:42:34,644 --> 00:42:38,212
My stories, they just
come from my heart.

958
00:42:38,214 --> 00:42:40,114
So tell me about this book.

959
00:42:41,616 --> 00:42:45,686
Gatsby is about social position.

960
00:42:45,688 --> 00:42:48,756
It's about the American dream.

961
00:42:48,758 --> 00:42:50,257
How um...

962
00:42:52,226 --> 00:42:55,361
Actually it's really simple.

963
00:42:55,363 --> 00:42:56,696
Boy meets girl.

964
00:42:56,698 --> 00:42:58,298
Boy loses girl.

965
00:42:58,300 --> 00:43:02,835
And boy tries to move heaven
and earth to win girl back.

966
00:43:02,837 --> 00:43:04,370
And it's your favorite?

967
00:43:04,372 --> 00:43:08,775
So how does it end?
Does boy get girl?

968
00:43:09,910 --> 00:43:12,077
I'll give you my copy.

969
00:43:12,079 --> 00:43:14,079
You can find out for yourself.

970
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:14,914
Thank you.

971
00:43:14,915 --> 00:43:16,114
You're welcome.

972
00:43:18,184 --> 00:43:19,384
Gatsby.

973
00:43:19,386 --> 00:43:20,886
Great book.

974
00:43:20,888 --> 00:43:23,055
Classic.

975
00:43:23,823 --> 00:43:24,990
See.

976
00:43:24,992 --> 00:43:25,992
Oh my gosh.

977
00:43:28,194 --> 00:43:29,261
I really needed this break.

978
00:43:29,263 --> 00:43:30,395
Thank you, Henry.

979
00:43:30,397 --> 00:43:32,296
Oh no problem, no problem.

980
00:43:32,298 --> 00:43:34,031
It was a lot of fun.

981
00:43:34,033 --> 00:43:35,333
I'm beginning to feel
a lot of pressure.

982
00:43:35,335 --> 00:43:38,202
There's a lot riding
on this first book.

983
00:43:38,204 --> 00:43:40,004
You know, riding, not writing.

984
00:43:40,006 --> 00:43:41,105
There's obviously writing.

985
00:43:41,107 --> 00:43:43,407
There's a lot of
words I have to write.

986
00:43:43,409 --> 00:43:46,077
Hannah, the book's
going to be great.

987
00:43:46,079 --> 00:43:50,348
<i>Sleeping on the moon</i> is
going to be a huge hit.

988
00:43:50,350 --> 00:43:52,983
You're going to be the toast
of the literary world,

989
00:43:52,985 --> 00:43:53,985
and I will come to your big
mansion in Beverly hills

990
00:43:53,986 --> 00:43:57,187
and deliver you pizza.

991
00:43:57,189 --> 00:43:59,923
Beverly hills, I wish.

992
00:44:00,691 --> 00:44:01,925
It's gonna happen.

993
00:44:03,728 --> 00:44:05,061
You're sweet.

994
00:44:11,402 --> 00:44:12,635
It was such a fun day.

995
00:44:12,637 --> 00:44:14,403
Yeah, it was really fun.

996
00:44:14,405 --> 00:44:16,038
And this is awesome.

997
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,741
You're going to enjoy that.
I promise.

998
00:44:18,743 --> 00:44:20,276
You're the best, Henry.

999
00:44:29,819 --> 00:44:31,153
Um...

1000
00:44:31,155 --> 00:44:33,187
No distractions.

1001
00:44:33,189 --> 00:44:35,156
Writing comes first, ok?

1002
00:44:37,726 --> 00:44:39,360
Yeah.

1003
00:44:39,362 --> 00:44:41,129
Ok.

1004
00:44:41,131 --> 00:44:42,297
It was the best day.

1005
00:44:43,799 --> 00:44:45,099
See ya.

1006
00:44:51,106 --> 00:44:52,373
Ok.

1007
00:44:54,108 --> 00:44:56,276
Alright, who's
turn is it to read?

1008
00:44:56,278 --> 00:44:57,377
Henry?

1009
00:44:57,379 --> 00:44:58,779
Oh um no...

1010
00:44:58,781 --> 00:45:00,814
Thanks, I don't have
anything new tonight.

1011
00:45:00,816 --> 00:45:01,882
So somebody else can go ahead.

1012
00:45:01,884 --> 00:45:08,221
I changed them again and uh,
I'm just not ready, so...

1013
00:45:08,223 --> 00:45:10,357
But Henry honey it's been weeks.

1014
00:45:10,359 --> 00:45:12,626
I know guys, and
I'm really sorry.

1015
00:45:12,628 --> 00:45:16,195
I just can't seem to get
it focused and on the page.

1016
00:45:16,197 --> 00:45:17,630
Come on obert, don't
be such a tool.

1017
00:45:17,632 --> 00:45:19,265
Get to writing.

1018
00:45:19,267 --> 00:45:21,267
John, he has writer's block.

1019
00:45:21,268 --> 00:45:22,235
What's so hard, bro?

1020
00:45:22,236 --> 00:45:23,803
You've got two characters.

1021
00:45:23,805 --> 00:45:25,738
Scott and kristy.

1022
00:45:25,740 --> 00:45:29,041
Well that's kind of the problem.

1023
00:45:29,043 --> 00:45:30,209
I think the story is changing.

1024
00:45:30,211 --> 00:45:31,211
Changing?

1025
00:45:31,212 --> 00:45:33,112
How so?

1026
00:45:33,114 --> 00:45:38,149
Lately I've been feeling like
there's something much richer

1027
00:45:38,151 --> 00:45:41,820
and deeper there, like um...

1028
00:45:41,822 --> 00:45:44,723
Scott and kristy
becoming closer.

1029
00:45:44,725 --> 00:45:48,693
Henry, kristy is a wealthy,
beautiful Beverly hills author,

1030
00:45:48,695 --> 00:45:52,897
I mean how much closer
can they get, honey?

1031
00:45:52,899 --> 00:45:57,368
Ok... but uh follow me,
if you guys can.

1032
00:45:57,370 --> 00:46:00,771
Let's just say
something happens.

1033
00:46:00,773 --> 00:46:04,808
And it forces kristy into
an epiphany where she

1034
00:46:04,810 --> 00:46:10,848
realizes that her feelings run
much deeper now for Scott

1035
00:46:10,850 --> 00:46:15,118
than she first realized.

1036
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:16,619
Nah, don't buy it.

1037
00:46:16,621 --> 00:46:21,657
Is this Scott who is wanting
this relationship to go farther?

1038
00:46:21,659 --> 00:46:25,995
Because I honestly...
Maybe it's just me...

1039
00:46:25,997 --> 00:46:28,731
But I can't see kristy
being the one to...

1040
00:46:28,733 --> 00:46:31,701
Hannah hon, I mean, girls point
of view, what do you think?

1041
00:46:32,970 --> 00:46:39,074
Wow, I guess I never
thought of them that way.

1042
00:46:41,344 --> 00:46:42,911
Never?

1043
00:46:43,780 --> 00:46:45,747
No.

1044
00:46:45,749 --> 00:46:49,384
I think it's always
been a friendship, so...

1045
00:46:49,986 --> 00:46:52,087
Nothing more.

1046
00:46:53,189 --> 00:46:55,123
Exactly.

1047
00:46:56,725 --> 00:46:57,825
Ok.

1048
00:46:57,827 --> 00:46:59,860
Uh.

1049
00:46:59,862 --> 00:47:06,862
I'll, uh, try to have something
new on paper for next time.

1050
00:47:09,604 --> 00:47:11,005
Wait, what?

1051
00:47:11,706 --> 00:47:13,174
I had some extra.

1052
00:47:13,176 --> 00:47:15,176
Ok wait, how much?

1053
00:47:15,178 --> 00:47:16,310
See ya.

1054
00:47:16,312 --> 00:47:17,877
Bye John!

1055
00:47:18,012 --> 00:47:19,879
Five hundred?

1056
00:47:19,881 --> 00:47:22,916
Ok, but if I loaned you that
money, than I wouldn't have it.

1057
00:47:22,918 --> 00:47:25,919
I just thought since you got
that big advance, you know, you

1058
00:47:25,921 --> 00:47:27,687
could help a fellow writer out.

1059
00:47:27,689 --> 00:47:30,156
I'm good for it,
Hannah, of course.

1060
00:47:30,158 --> 00:47:31,191
I know, it's just...

1061
00:47:31,193 --> 00:47:33,026
It's bad luck to loan money.

1062
00:47:33,028 --> 00:47:36,229
So than just give it to me.

1063
00:47:36,231 --> 00:47:37,296
William...

1064
00:47:37,298 --> 00:47:38,363
Thank you so much, Hannah.

1065
00:47:38,364 --> 00:47:39,165
Thanks, Colette.

1066
00:47:39,166 --> 00:47:40,299
Thanks for coming.

1067
00:47:40,301 --> 00:47:41,934
Absolutely ok, we'll
see you next week.

1068
00:47:41,936 --> 00:47:44,670
How much do you need William?

1069
00:47:45,371 --> 00:47:47,072
Five thousand.

1070
00:47:48,675 --> 00:47:50,175
Ok.

1071
00:47:51,644 --> 00:47:52,911
Poodles.

1072
00:47:52,913 --> 00:47:55,380
Thanks for, uh, everything.

1073
00:47:58,217 --> 00:48:00,218
Today is a big day in my life.

1074
00:48:00,220 --> 00:48:03,988
<i>Roaring lion</i> is being
posted on Amazon. Com.

1075
00:48:03,990 --> 00:48:06,290
Now all books, your
fiction, your nonfiction,

1076
00:48:06,292 --> 00:48:08,059
they're all ranked by sales.

1077
00:48:08,061 --> 00:48:10,995
Obviously everybody
wants to be number one.

1078
00:48:10,997 --> 00:48:14,265
But they say that a book is
selling well on Amazon if

1079
00:48:14,267 --> 00:48:17,768
it's in the top five thousand.

1080
00:48:17,770 --> 00:48:22,172
Sigrid honey, it's time
to run it up the flagpole.

1081
00:48:31,649 --> 00:48:35,385
Two million, four hundred,
seventy two thousand,

1082
00:48:35,387 --> 00:48:39,955
eight hundred, and ninety-nine.

1083
00:48:44,194 --> 00:48:46,195
Tom Clancy.

1084
00:48:46,197 --> 00:48:48,264
Thirty-two.

1085
00:48:51,668 --> 00:48:52,735
How am I doing?

1086
00:48:52,737 --> 00:48:54,270
I'm ok, I guess.

1087
00:48:54,272 --> 00:48:57,907
There's a lot of interest
for the movie rights for

1088
00:48:57,909 --> 00:49:00,875
<i>sleeping on the moon,</i> so yay!

1089
00:49:01,677 --> 00:49:03,344
Oh no, I don't dare
tell the group.

1090
00:49:03,346 --> 00:49:06,314
If they find out about the
movie deal, I don't know.

1091
00:49:06,316 --> 00:49:09,117
I'm just sensing a little
jealousy already,

1092
00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:11,853
so it could be kind of awkward
if they found out.

1093
00:49:12,821 --> 00:49:14,722
Please come home, Michael.

1094
00:49:14,724 --> 00:49:16,791
Why would you want
to marry me, kyra?

1095
00:49:16,793 --> 00:49:19,260
I barely graduated high school.

1096
00:49:19,262 --> 00:49:22,996
Michael, I don't care about
some silly college degree.

1097
00:49:22,998 --> 00:49:25,632
You are the most intelligent
person I've ever known.

1098
00:49:25,634 --> 00:49:27,801
You are my shining star.

1099
00:49:29,837 --> 00:49:31,238
Ok, uh...

1100
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:32,106
Comments?

1101
00:49:32,107 --> 00:49:33,707
Anyone?

1102
00:49:35,643 --> 00:49:38,712
Come on guys. I really
value your opinions.

1103
00:49:38,714 --> 00:49:41,147
I mean we're all in
this together, right?

1104
00:49:41,149 --> 00:49:43,883
So, Colette, did the
new scene work for you?

1105
00:49:43,885 --> 00:49:45,184
The new scene?

1106
00:49:45,186 --> 00:49:46,719
It um...

1107
00:49:49,022 --> 00:49:50,756
Uh, well gee...

1108
00:49:50,758 --> 00:49:54,126
This is being published.
This is gonna be published.

1109
00:49:54,128 --> 00:49:57,830
Well my editor needs rewrites,
so am I on the right track, or?

1110
00:49:57,832 --> 00:49:59,765
Of course you are, Hannah.

1111
00:49:59,767 --> 00:50:00,865
Of course you're
on the right track.

1112
00:50:00,867 --> 00:50:02,267
Yeah.

1113
00:50:02,269 --> 00:50:03,935
I mean, you got the
deal, you got the check.

1114
00:50:03,937 --> 00:50:05,804
You're the first one
to be published so...

1115
00:50:08,107 --> 00:50:10,075
You know, I think what I'm
hearing from the group

1116
00:50:10,077 --> 00:50:11,876
is that you're fine.

1117
00:50:11,878 --> 00:50:13,378
We love it.

1118
00:50:13,380 --> 00:50:16,948
There's just nothing
to critque here.

1119
00:50:16,950 --> 00:50:18,917
You don't need us...

1120
00:50:18,919 --> 00:50:21,018
Oh yes I do.

1121
00:50:21,020 --> 00:50:24,622
I mean you need us,
but in terms of...

1122
00:50:26,024 --> 00:50:30,661
I'm just not sure how
we would make it better.

1123
00:50:30,663 --> 00:50:32,963
Oh um...

1124
00:50:33,765 --> 00:50:35,065
Henry?

1125
00:50:35,066 --> 00:50:36,034
Yeah.

1126
00:50:36,035 --> 00:50:37,701
A little quiet over there.

1127
00:50:37,703 --> 00:50:39,870
What do you think of it?

1128
00:50:39,872 --> 00:50:42,639
Actually I think that
it's really good.

1129
00:50:42,641 --> 00:50:45,008
It's great.

1130
00:50:45,010 --> 00:50:48,011
Um, there are a couple things
that I would point out.

1131
00:50:48,013 --> 00:50:49,779
Little things, like
for instance-

1132
00:50:49,781 --> 00:50:51,648
holy Douglas mccarther.

1133
00:50:51,650 --> 00:50:53,650
John, Henry was talking.

1134
00:50:53,652 --> 00:50:57,286
Hollywood decides to go
<i>sleeping on the moon.</i>

1135
00:50:57,755 --> 00:51:02,991
First time scribe Hannah
rinaldi prepped by soho

1136
00:51:02,993 --> 00:51:07,596
has just thanked a
six figure movie deal.

1137
00:51:08,798 --> 00:51:11,733
Meant to tell you
that today, so...

1138
00:51:11,734 --> 00:51:12,635
Just forgot.

1139
00:51:12,636 --> 00:51:14,036
Thanks John.

1140
00:51:15,972 --> 00:51:17,973
Six figures.

1141
00:51:18,908 --> 00:51:20,609
Wow.

1142
00:51:28,684 --> 00:51:29,917
Idea-

1143
00:52:27,072 --> 00:52:28,840
Idea for novel.

1144
00:52:28,842 --> 00:52:30,241
Perhaps screenplay.

1145
00:52:30,243 --> 00:52:32,210
The amazing doctor ecklebert.

1146
00:52:32,212 --> 00:52:35,046
Eye doctor turned crime fighter.

1147
00:52:35,048 --> 00:52:36,748
Ladies man.

1148
00:52:48,659 --> 00:52:50,160
William?

1149
00:52:50,162 --> 00:52:52,929
Alan, hey.

1150
00:52:52,931 --> 00:52:57,701
I just stopped by to read
some of Colette's pages.

1151
00:53:02,373 --> 00:53:05,775
Swing time, baby-

1152
00:53:05,777 --> 00:53:08,911
hi poodles, what are you
doing home?

1153
00:53:08,913 --> 00:53:11,080
William, what are
you doing here?

1154
00:53:12,949 --> 00:53:15,351
Alan, baby, it's just research.

1155
00:53:15,353 --> 00:53:16,886
Poodles!

1156
00:53:38,974 --> 00:53:42,076
Hannah's been avoiding me.

1157
00:53:42,078 --> 00:53:47,080
She's not responding to
emails or voice messages.

1158
00:53:47,082 --> 00:53:50,751
She's always really
busy these days.

1159
00:53:50,753 --> 00:53:53,353
Always has an excuse.

1160
00:53:53,355 --> 00:53:57,691
Things have definitely
changed between us.

1161
00:53:57,693 --> 00:54:01,161
Though I did get to go over
to her house for dinner.

1162
00:54:01,597 --> 00:54:06,699
She was in New York with her
publisher, but Maureen

1163
00:54:06,701 --> 00:54:09,101
and I had a lovely time.

1164
00:54:10,003 --> 00:54:13,873
Yes, you noticed I
replaced my photo.

1165
00:54:13,875 --> 00:54:17,109
I may be replacing
other things here soon.

1166
00:54:18,111 --> 00:54:21,981
I was simply using
William for research.

1167
00:54:21,983 --> 00:54:26,085
I mean, you saw... you know...

1168
00:54:27,353 --> 00:54:31,990
And speaking of rejection
three more letters saying niet.

1169
00:54:31,992 --> 00:54:34,192
Niet. Niet. Niet.

1170
00:54:34,194 --> 00:54:36,595
Oh, including one from
David kelleher.

1171
00:54:36,597 --> 00:54:38,964
David kelleher.

1172
00:54:38,966 --> 00:54:41,333
I knew I should have
given him a massage.

1173
00:54:41,335 --> 00:54:42,601
Once again I was wrong.

1174
00:54:42,603 --> 00:54:44,769
What a surprise. Huh?

1175
00:54:44,770 --> 00:54:45,671
Rejection sucks.

1176
00:54:45,672 --> 00:54:47,238
It sucks!

1177
00:54:49,708 --> 00:54:51,375
This is a big day for
John k. Butzin.

1178
00:54:51,377 --> 00:54:55,679
Yes. It's my first
official book signing.

1179
00:54:56,781 --> 00:54:59,183
Of course it would've been
better if it was held

1180
00:54:59,185 --> 00:55:01,819
at an actual bookstore,
but let's face it,

1181
00:55:01,821 --> 00:55:04,355
they're dropping faster
than Charlie at dak to.

1182
00:55:04,357 --> 00:55:08,591
Since sigrid works at a
hardware store, they're gonna

1183
00:55:08,593 --> 00:55:11,194
let her favorite author
sign a few books.

1184
00:55:11,196 --> 00:55:13,062
More than a few books.

1185
00:55:13,064 --> 00:55:14,797
Many, many books ya?

1186
00:55:14,799 --> 00:55:16,165
Ya strudel.

1187
00:55:16,167 --> 00:55:18,701
Many, many books.

1188
00:55:47,597 --> 00:55:50,131
Attention shoppers.

1189
00:55:50,133 --> 00:55:57,133
Famous author Mr. John k butzin
signing new best seller

1190
00:55:57,173 --> 00:55:59,240
at front of store.

1191
00:55:59,242 --> 00:56:02,176
John k butzin.

1192
00:56:04,212 --> 00:56:09,282
Also special today in
plumbing department.

1193
00:56:09,284 --> 00:56:12,319
Ballcocks, two for one.

1194
00:56:12,321 --> 00:56:18,058
All customers guaranteed for
to be satisfied, ya.

1195
00:57:05,270 --> 00:57:06,938
Oh, sorry.

1196
00:57:20,118 --> 00:57:21,718
Sorry, strudel.

1197
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,654
Looks like John k butzin
is shooting blanks today.

1198
00:57:25,758 --> 00:57:27,624
Author, author!

1199
00:57:27,626 --> 00:57:28,892
There he is!

1200
00:57:29,927 --> 00:57:31,627
Look at this. The
cavalry has arrived.

1201
00:57:31,628 --> 00:57:32,229
Congratulations.

1202
00:57:32,230 --> 00:57:33,696
Thank you.

1203
00:57:33,698 --> 00:57:36,632
John, we would never
miss your signing.

1204
00:57:36,634 --> 00:57:40,669
Congratulations, John.
Book signing!

1205
00:57:41,204 --> 00:57:43,239
Thank you. What a nice
surprise this is.

1206
00:57:44,641 --> 00:57:47,810
Where's the, uh,
bukowski wanna be?

1207
00:57:48,812 --> 00:57:50,880
I think he's gonna... he
said he'd meet us later.

1208
00:57:50,882 --> 00:57:53,014
Kids a big turd anyway.
Never cared for him.

1209
00:57:53,016 --> 00:57:55,817
Maybe he is. Maybe
I should go check.

1210
00:57:55,819 --> 00:57:57,185
Maybe you should.

1211
00:57:57,820 --> 00:57:59,621
This is in Chinese.

1212
00:57:59,623 --> 00:58:01,156
Hmm?

1213
00:58:01,158 --> 00:58:03,758
Oh, the international
edition, ya.

1214
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,193
Yeah.

1215
00:58:05,195 --> 00:58:06,761
Yeah. It's uh...

1216
00:58:06,763 --> 00:58:08,930
We're breaking with that first.

1217
00:58:08,932 --> 00:58:11,166
Oh wow.

1218
00:58:11,733 --> 00:58:13,033
Is this a dog?

1219
00:58:13,035 --> 00:58:15,035
Because it's a lion
in the title...

1220
00:58:15,037 --> 00:58:19,173
You see in the particular
province in China

1221
00:58:19,175 --> 00:58:21,041
where we're breaking...

1222
00:58:21,043 --> 00:58:26,847
The dog replaces the lion.

1223
00:58:28,216 --> 00:58:30,017
Oh, of course.

1224
00:58:30,019 --> 00:58:32,052
Alan, open the champagne.

1225
00:58:32,054 --> 00:58:34,153
Come on. You can
open it any day now.

1226
00:58:34,155 --> 00:58:35,955
Yep. I'm right on that honey.

1227
00:58:35,957 --> 00:58:38,157
That hardware store
manager told me that today

1228
00:58:38,159 --> 00:58:41,127
was their most successful
book signing ever.

1229
00:58:41,129 --> 00:58:43,096
I don't know how many other
book signings they've had,

1230
00:58:43,098 --> 00:58:46,732
but he says mine was
the most successful.

1231
00:58:46,734 --> 00:58:48,000
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight,

1232
00:58:48,002 --> 00:58:50,136
nine, ten.
Eleven books-

1233
00:58:57,878 --> 00:59:01,246
She used one to
prop open the door.

1234
00:59:02,882 --> 00:59:05,117
Ten books.

1235
00:59:05,119 --> 00:59:08,887
Ten books. That means
there's ten families in

1236
00:59:08,889 --> 00:59:13,791
California who have books
written by melville,

1237
00:59:13,793 --> 00:59:19,597
Hemingway, Clancy, and butzin.

1238
00:59:23,768 --> 00:59:25,769
It's a humbling thought.

1239
00:59:29,774 --> 00:59:32,843
I've made an important
decision as group leader.

1240
00:59:32,845 --> 00:59:37,680
I've decided to ask
William to leave the group.

1241
00:59:37,682 --> 00:59:39,849
Now it has absolutely
nothing to do with

1242
00:59:39,851 --> 00:59:41,584
that incident at our house.

1243
00:59:41,586 --> 00:59:43,219
I believe Colette.

1244
00:59:43,221 --> 00:59:45,355
I believe William.

1245
00:59:45,357 --> 00:59:47,023
It has nothing to do with
the fact that I'm now

1246
00:59:47,025 --> 00:59:49,225
sleeping in my guest room.

1247
00:59:49,227 --> 00:59:50,894
Let's face it.

1248
00:59:50,896 --> 00:59:52,262
The kid's a slacker.

1249
00:59:52,264 --> 00:59:53,963
No contribution to the group.

1250
00:59:53,965 --> 00:59:56,298
Zero. Zip. Nada.

1251
00:59:57,300 --> 00:59:59,134
I'm sure he'll be fine with it.

1252
01:00:01,939 --> 01:00:03,639
There's no need to be so upset.

1253
01:00:03,641 --> 01:00:05,107
Fine.

1254
01:00:05,109 --> 01:00:07,342
I was gonna quit anyway,
ya bunch of losers.

1255
01:00:07,344 --> 01:00:12,581
With your stupid recorder,
and your stupid ideas,

1256
01:00:12,583 --> 01:00:15,850
and your stupid character names.

1257
01:00:15,851 --> 01:00:16,652
And you.

1258
01:00:16,653 --> 01:00:18,186
Gi Joe over here.

1259
01:00:18,188 --> 01:00:21,055
With your self
published piece of crap.

1260
01:00:21,057 --> 01:00:23,758
When are you gonna realize
nobody's gonna make a movie

1261
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,193
out of <i>roaring lion</i>?

1262
01:00:25,195 --> 01:00:26,761
Just ignore him.

1263
01:00:28,298 --> 01:00:29,298
And you know what...

1264
01:00:29,299 --> 01:00:32,700
The great Henry o.

1265
01:00:32,702 --> 01:00:34,936
Man, you got the gift bro.

1266
01:00:34,938 --> 01:00:38,672
The only problem is you've got
your head so far up your ass

1267
01:00:38,674 --> 01:00:42,175
over sweet, successful
Hannah here...

1268
01:00:42,177 --> 01:00:44,077
Lucky Hannah.

1269
01:00:44,079 --> 01:00:47,113
I'm just as good a
writer as you are.

1270
01:00:47,115 --> 01:00:50,750
But you sure do look good
in a mini skirt, don't ya?

1271
01:00:50,751 --> 01:00:51,719
Hey, that's enough.

1272
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,353
I don't need any of you.

1273
01:00:53,355 --> 01:00:58,123
I don't need any more of your
pitiful pedestrian feedback.

1274
01:00:58,125 --> 01:01:00,359
You've got three goddamn pages.

1275
01:01:00,361 --> 01:01:03,896
And they are great
three goddamn pages.

1276
01:01:03,898 --> 01:01:05,764
You just don't
appreciate my dedication.

1277
01:01:05,766 --> 01:01:07,800
You are a pretend
writer, William.

1278
01:01:07,801 --> 01:01:08,668
She's right.

1279
01:01:08,669 --> 01:01:10,002
You act the part.

1280
01:01:10,004 --> 01:01:13,839
You hit on women, and
you quote bukowski.

1281
01:01:13,841 --> 01:01:18,209
But people like bukowski
do the work do the work.

1282
01:01:18,211 --> 01:01:20,044
They write. Every day
they write.

1283
01:01:20,046 --> 01:01:22,347
And that's your problem.
You don't do the work.

1284
01:01:22,349 --> 01:01:24,949
I don't do the work?

1285
01:01:25,884 --> 01:01:28,820
Man, that sounds fricking
hilarious coming from you.

1286
01:01:28,822 --> 01:01:32,056
When was the last time
you wrote anything?

1287
01:01:33,592 --> 01:01:34,959
Hey guys.

1288
01:01:40,598 --> 01:01:42,165
Not the sign!

1289
01:01:43,769 --> 01:01:44,769
Oh!

1290
01:01:50,174 --> 01:01:51,942
Angry young man.

1291
01:01:55,346 --> 01:01:57,346
Oh, Alan.

1292
01:01:59,283 --> 01:02:01,350
Ok, uh...

1293
01:02:03,754 --> 01:02:05,688
Moving on. Next item.

1294
01:02:05,690 --> 01:02:07,323
Richard broadwell is
going to be doing a

1295
01:02:07,325 --> 01:02:08,858
book signing next Saturday.

1296
01:02:08,860 --> 01:02:10,693
Who wants to go?

1297
01:02:10,695 --> 01:02:12,261
I'll go.

1298
01:02:12,263 --> 01:02:13,263
Alright.

1299
01:02:22,004 --> 01:02:23,838
Idea for novel.

1300
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,608
Jealous husband murders tramp
of a wife and buries her

1301
01:02:26,610 --> 01:02:28,777
chopped up body in the backyard.

1302
01:02:33,783 --> 01:02:36,885
Mr. broadwell, I just...

1303
01:02:36,887 --> 01:02:39,153
Wanna say that.

1304
01:02:39,155 --> 01:02:43,057
Mr. broadwell, you've
inspired my writing.

1305
01:02:46,194 --> 01:02:48,929
Hi, I'm Henry.

1306
01:02:48,931 --> 01:02:50,831
I just think you're
the greatest-

1307
01:02:50,833 --> 01:02:53,734
Henry. Henry, let me tell
you something. Ok?

1308
01:02:53,736 --> 01:03:00,735
One day, I'm going to have a
book signing just like this.

1309
01:03:01,009 --> 01:03:04,677
No, I will not be going to that
book signing for Richard

1310
01:03:04,679 --> 01:03:05,978
whatever his name is, ok?

1311
01:03:05,980 --> 01:03:07,914
No.

1312
01:03:07,916 --> 01:03:11,617
John k butzin, author,
doesn't stand in lines.

1313
01:03:11,619 --> 01:03:14,120
No. This-

1314
01:03:14,122 --> 01:03:16,789
this soon to be best-selling
author, is spending every

1315
01:03:16,791 --> 01:03:19,958
minute, every nickel that
he has on promoting his

1316
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,794
own book, <i>roaring lion</i>.

1317
01:03:22,796 --> 01:03:24,296
Thank you.

1318
01:03:24,298 --> 01:03:28,066
Strudel, would you check
my sales ranking, please?

1319
01:03:35,708 --> 01:03:38,143
One million, six hundred,
and forty-four thousand,

1320
01:03:38,145 --> 01:03:40,578
nine hundred and seventy-three.

1321
01:03:40,580 --> 01:03:44,315
That's great. I mean look at how
far I've moved up already.

1322
01:03:44,317 --> 01:03:45,850
Tom Clancy.

1323
01:03:45,852 --> 01:03:47,084
Twelve.

1324
01:03:53,558 --> 01:03:54,725
Next please.

1325
01:03:54,727 --> 01:03:57,962
What's your name?

1326
01:03:57,964 --> 01:03:58,996
What?

1327
01:03:58,997 --> 01:03:59,731
Sir, your name?

1328
01:03:59,732 --> 01:04:01,831
Henry.
Henry.

1329
01:04:02,333 --> 01:04:04,801
What? Absolutely not.

1330
01:04:04,803 --> 01:04:06,202
I'll sue the bastard first.

1331
01:04:06,204 --> 01:04:07,337
Thank you.

1332
01:04:07,339 --> 01:04:08,905
Yeah, are you kidding me?

1333
01:04:08,907 --> 01:04:10,974
Sir, come on, we've got to
keep the lining moving.

1334
01:04:10,976 --> 01:04:12,742
Sir, move the line along.
Thank you, sir.

1335
01:04:15,679 --> 01:04:17,180
I'm Alan mooney.

1336
01:04:22,185 --> 01:04:23,685
Thank you.

1337
01:04:23,687 --> 01:04:24,753
You completely cut me in line.

1338
01:04:24,755 --> 01:04:25,821
What's your name?

1339
01:04:25,823 --> 01:04:27,322
Hi, my name's Colette.

1340
01:04:27,324 --> 01:04:29,725
C-o-l-e-t-t-e.

1341
01:04:29,727 --> 01:04:31,560
Negative.

1342
01:04:31,562 --> 01:04:36,999
No, you're done, thank you.
Next please.

1343
01:04:37,001 --> 01:04:38,033
No, no, no! Damnit, you don't-

1344
01:04:38,035 --> 01:04:39,835
Hannah.

1345
01:04:39,837 --> 01:04:42,336
I've got to call you back.

1346
01:04:43,039 --> 01:04:44,039
Hi.

1347
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:44,807
Hello.

1348
01:04:44,808 --> 01:04:45,307
Hannah?

1349
01:04:45,308 --> 01:04:46,908
Yes.

1350
01:04:46,910 --> 01:04:48,709
I'm actually a writer.

1351
01:04:48,711 --> 01:04:50,044
Ahh I knew that.

1352
01:04:50,045 --> 01:04:50,779
You did?

1353
01:04:50,780 --> 01:04:53,314
How did you? Is it the
glasses? 'Cuz they're new.

1354
01:04:53,316 --> 01:04:57,585
It was also, you're giving
off a very creative energy.

1355
01:04:57,587 --> 01:04:59,720
You know my pen
began to vibrate.

1356
01:05:01,590 --> 01:05:02,956
I think that was part of it.

1357
01:05:02,958 --> 01:05:03,990
That's so sweet.

1358
01:05:03,992 --> 01:05:05,826
Hey.

1359
01:05:06,595 --> 01:05:07,595
What'd he say?

1360
01:05:07,596 --> 01:05:08,628
Who?

1361
01:05:08,630 --> 01:05:11,932
You know the guy that just held
up the line for five minutes

1362
01:05:11,934 --> 01:05:13,099
while he was talking to you.

1363
01:05:13,101 --> 01:05:14,634
It was ten. It was
closer to ten.

1364
01:05:14,636 --> 01:05:17,070
Oh, no. It was nothing.
We just talked.

1365
01:05:17,072 --> 01:05:18,672
He sure seemed to like you.

1366
01:05:18,674 --> 01:05:22,775
Look, I told him about my book,
and he started asking questions.

1367
01:05:22,777 --> 01:05:24,043
Kind of writer to writer.

1368
01:05:24,045 --> 01:05:28,047
Talking to Richard
broadwell was no big deal?

1369
01:05:28,049 --> 01:05:29,582
Really?

1370
01:05:29,584 --> 01:05:30,950
You gave him your phone number.

1371
01:05:30,952 --> 01:05:33,886
You guys, look, he reads
more books in a week than

1372
01:05:33,888 --> 01:05:36,322
Why would he ever
bother to call me?

1373
01:05:39,826 --> 01:05:41,627
Hello?

1374
01:05:41,629 --> 01:05:42,994
Who?

1375
01:05:42,996 --> 01:05:44,195
Richard?

1376
01:05:45,064 --> 01:05:47,799
Hi.

1377
01:05:48,167 --> 01:05:50,068
Oh my God.
Did she say Richard?

1378
01:05:50,070 --> 01:05:51,870
Yeah. Really? Coffee?

1379
01:05:52,872 --> 01:05:54,572
I really appreciate the
invitation but it's not

1380
01:05:54,574 --> 01:05:56,908
really a great time, so...

1381
01:05:56,910 --> 01:06:00,578
Um, yeah you could
call me later.

1382
01:06:00,580 --> 01:06:01,946
I will think about it, yes.

1383
01:06:01,947 --> 01:06:02,914
Oh my God.

1384
01:06:02,915 --> 01:06:04,581
Ok, bye.

1385
01:06:05,317 --> 01:06:06,317
That's amzaing.

1386
01:06:06,318 --> 01:06:07,584
This is unfair.

1387
01:06:07,586 --> 01:06:09,253
This is just... not fair.

1388
01:06:09,255 --> 01:06:13,090
First you get an agent,
and then the book deal,

1389
01:06:13,092 --> 01:06:14,558
and then the big movie-

1390
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:15,759
please darling-

1391
01:06:15,761 --> 01:06:16,960
no, it's not fair.

1392
01:06:16,962 --> 01:06:18,295
And now Richard...

1393
01:06:18,297 --> 01:06:19,930
What's his name?

1394
01:06:19,932 --> 01:06:23,199
Broadwell wants to
have coffee with you.

1395
01:06:23,201 --> 01:06:25,601
This happened to
you and only to you.

1396
01:06:25,603 --> 01:06:27,036
There's more of us here.

1397
01:06:27,038 --> 01:06:31,841
You know, isn't there a way
something, anything...

1398
01:06:31,843 --> 01:06:33,876
A cosmic creative crumb
that the rest of us

1399
01:06:33,878 --> 01:06:36,579
I don't like what you're
insinuating, Colette.

1400
01:06:36,581 --> 01:06:38,915
You know how hard I work
and how devoted I am.

1401
01:06:38,917 --> 01:06:40,116
Plus I've been so
supportive of you.

1402
01:06:40,118 --> 01:06:42,084
I've encouraged your
writing all along.

1403
01:06:42,086 --> 01:06:44,119
But you didn't introduce you
to your agent, do you remember?

1404
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:44,887
I asked him.

1405
01:06:44,888 --> 01:06:46,855
He didn't want to meet you.

1406
01:06:46,857 --> 01:06:48,957
Hannah has earned her success.

1407
01:06:48,959 --> 01:06:50,759
Butt out, Mr. idea man.
You didn't tell me that.

1408
01:06:50,761 --> 01:06:52,027
Hannah is a writer, ok?

1409
01:06:52,029 --> 01:06:54,162
She devotes herself
%100 to writing.

1410
01:06:54,164 --> 01:06:56,598
Not 100% to sleeping
with writers.

1411
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,200
Oh dear God, it
was research Alan.

1412
01:06:59,202 --> 01:07:00,835
Guys, guys! Come on!

1413
01:07:00,837 --> 01:07:04,605
Guys, why don't you
just go on ahead?

1414
01:07:04,607 --> 01:07:06,307
I'm just saying
it's not, that's all.

1415
01:07:06,309 --> 01:07:08,142
Just, you know, because
there's more of us.

1416
01:07:08,144 --> 01:07:10,778
I just simply wanted to say
that I felt that it was unfair.

1417
01:07:13,548 --> 01:07:15,716
Let's go, let's go.

1418
01:07:17,552 --> 01:07:19,720
Thirteen. Thirteen. Thirteen.
Thirteen. Thirteen.

1419
01:07:19,722 --> 01:07:22,323
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

1420
01:07:22,325 --> 01:07:23,924
eleven, twelve, thirteen!

1421
01:07:27,828 --> 01:07:29,062
Uf.

1422
01:07:30,264 --> 01:07:31,798
Hi.

1423
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:35,935
I'm a shit for
exploding at Hannah.

1424
01:07:35,937 --> 01:07:38,972
I'm really sorry.

1425
01:07:40,641 --> 01:07:44,811
Poor sweet, superstitious...

1426
01:07:44,813 --> 01:07:48,680
She's so superstitious, I
don't know what that is.

1427
01:07:49,215 --> 01:07:51,583
Everybody loves Hannah.

1428
01:07:51,585 --> 01:07:53,852
I love Hannah.

1429
01:07:53,854 --> 01:07:56,321
She's a good girl.

1430
01:07:56,323 --> 01:08:00,325
But you know if Hannah
can do it, then so can I.

1431
01:08:00,327 --> 01:08:04,630
You know, we were born
to succeed not to fail.

1432
01:08:06,231 --> 01:08:08,199
Who said that? I don't know.

1433
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:09,067
Somebody famous.

1434
01:08:09,068 --> 01:08:10,334
Somebody with an agent.

1435
01:08:10,336 --> 01:08:12,303
Haha.

1436
01:08:12,771 --> 01:08:13,838
Somebody with an agent,
I'm sure.

1437
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,073
And I'll tell you what.

1438
01:08:16,075 --> 01:08:20,011
You know, I can't do anything
without an agent, so if

1439
01:08:20,013 --> 01:08:22,847
they don't come to me, then
I'm going to go to them.

1440
01:08:29,086 --> 01:08:30,787
Your writers block...

1441
01:08:30,789 --> 01:08:32,322
Yeah?

1442
01:08:32,324 --> 01:08:35,091
It's because you're always
focused on everything else.

1443
01:08:35,092 --> 01:08:35,993
You know?

1444
01:08:35,994 --> 01:08:37,293
Fitzgerald.

1445
01:08:37,295 --> 01:08:38,595
Gatsby.

1446
01:08:40,798 --> 01:08:43,767
Me.

1447
01:08:50,140 --> 01:08:51,940
Listen to me, Henry obert.

1448
01:08:51,942 --> 01:08:54,043
The writing must come first.

1449
01:08:54,045 --> 01:08:56,311
You've got to take all
this passion you have

1450
01:08:56,313 --> 01:08:57,813
and put it on the page.
You know?

1451
01:08:57,815 --> 01:08:59,848
Forget about everything else.

1452
01:08:59,850 --> 01:09:02,685
All you're doing is
wasting your talent.

1453
01:09:02,687 --> 01:09:04,687
You know what I mean?

1454
01:09:21,036 --> 01:09:22,603
From ze books.

1455
01:09:27,942 --> 01:09:29,576
Wow.

1456
01:09:29,578 --> 01:09:31,645
Do you mean that all
of the books at the

1457
01:09:31,647 --> 01:09:33,313
hardware store sold?

1458
01:09:33,315 --> 01:09:35,582
Ya. Every one.

1459
01:09:35,584 --> 01:09:37,684
What did I tell you, strudel?
What did I tell you?

1460
01:09:37,686 --> 01:09:40,887
If you write it,
they will read it.

1461
01:09:42,056 --> 01:09:43,924
I want you to get some
more books down to that

1462
01:09:43,926 --> 01:09:45,726
hardware store right away.

1463
01:09:45,727 --> 01:09:46,627
No wait.

1464
01:09:46,628 --> 01:09:47,694
Wait a minute strudel.

1465
01:09:47,696 --> 01:09:52,565
This is the time
for a book tour.

1466
01:09:52,567 --> 01:09:54,100
A big one.

1467
01:09:54,701 --> 01:09:56,569
Bakersfield.

1468
01:09:56,571 --> 01:09:57,571
Fresno.

1469
01:09:57,572 --> 01:09:59,572
Stockton.

1470
01:09:59,574 --> 01:10:01,073
Yeah, strudel. I want you to get
on the phone and I want you

1471
01:10:01,075 --> 01:10:04,543
to call every one of those
bookstores and you tell them

1472
01:10:04,545 --> 01:10:08,580
that John k butzin,
published author...

1473
01:10:08,582 --> 01:10:10,548
Is on his way.

1474
01:10:10,550 --> 01:10:11,850
Lock and load, strudel.

1475
01:10:11,852 --> 01:10:13,651
Lock and load.

1476
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,328
Auf wiedersehen.

1477
01:10:31,302 --> 01:10:33,270
Hello?

1478
01:10:33,272 --> 01:10:34,905
Excuse me?

1479
01:10:34,907 --> 01:10:38,575
I'm here to see
Lois pepper, please?

1480
01:10:38,577 --> 01:10:40,077
Hello?

1481
01:10:40,079 --> 01:10:43,147
Uh yes, no. Unsolicited.

1482
01:10:44,849 --> 01:10:47,317
Um, I just need five minutes.

1483
01:10:47,319 --> 01:10:50,219
Just one, two, three, four,
five minutes of her time.

1484
01:10:50,221 --> 01:10:54,924
If you could just maybe lean
you're head in a little bit, and

1485
01:10:54,926 --> 01:10:59,328
say my name is Colette
mooney. M-o-o-n-e-y.

1486
01:10:59,330 --> 01:11:02,965
I have a manuscript that
I know she's absolutely,

1487
01:11:02,967 --> 01:11:04,834
positively going to want.

1488
01:11:04,836 --> 01:11:06,335
I know she is very busy but-

1489
01:11:06,337 --> 01:11:08,971
if I have to read one more
vampire novel, I swear I'm going

1490
01:11:08,973 --> 01:11:11,740
to drive a stake through
my own goddamn heart.

1491
01:11:11,742 --> 01:11:12,841
Vampires.

1492
01:11:12,843 --> 01:11:13,942
Zombies.

1493
01:11:13,944 --> 01:11:15,544
Harry Potter knockoffs.

1494
01:11:15,546 --> 01:11:17,646
People writing about their dogs.

1495
01:11:17,648 --> 01:11:23,051
Manuscript, and it has nothing
to do with vampires or dogs-

1496
01:11:23,053 --> 01:11:26,121
doctor xiroman, I
can't believe you're here.

1497
01:11:26,123 --> 01:11:28,623
How lovely to see you again.

1498
01:11:28,625 --> 01:11:30,691
Were you just in
the neighborhood?

1499
01:11:30,693 --> 01:11:32,793
He has taken a vow of silence.

1500
01:11:32,795 --> 01:11:34,261
Please, please come
in for a second.

1501
01:11:34,263 --> 01:11:36,630
My family talks about
you all the time.

1502
01:11:36,632 --> 01:11:38,966
You were so helpful
to my sister.

1503
01:11:44,941 --> 01:11:46,841
But...

1504
01:11:49,110 --> 01:11:51,177
Oh shit.

1505
01:11:51,179 --> 01:11:53,012
Can you believe this?

1506
01:11:53,014 --> 01:11:54,981
Look at my desk, Dr. xiroman.

1507
01:11:54,983 --> 01:11:56,316
Look at it.

1508
01:11:56,318 --> 01:11:57,750
It's all crap.

1509
01:11:57,752 --> 01:11:59,719
Crap. Crap. Crap.

1510
01:11:59,721 --> 01:12:01,120
I hate my job.

1511
01:12:03,324 --> 01:12:05,258
I hate my life.

1512
01:12:05,260 --> 01:12:08,828
I envy you, Dr. xiroman.
I mean look at your life.

1513
01:12:08,830 --> 01:12:10,063
Your work.

1514
01:12:10,065 --> 01:12:11,930
You've really helped my sister.

1515
01:12:11,932 --> 01:12:13,599
You've helped so many people.

1516
01:12:13,601 --> 01:12:16,802
You just have such a positive
message to share.

1517
01:12:16,804 --> 01:12:18,203
He does.

1518
01:12:18,205 --> 01:12:19,805
Wait a minute.

1519
01:12:19,807 --> 01:12:21,773
Positive message to share.

1520
01:12:21,775 --> 01:12:22,875
Helping people.

1521
01:12:22,876 --> 01:12:23,843
That's it!

1522
01:12:23,844 --> 01:12:26,578
Dr. xiroman, you
should write a book.

1523
01:12:26,580 --> 01:12:28,680
What?

1524
01:12:29,682 --> 01:12:31,816
My novel will have to
wait a while longer.

1525
01:12:31,818 --> 01:12:34,285
Niet, Colette, not yet.

1526
01:12:34,820 --> 01:12:36,187
But I'll be a co-author.

1527
01:12:36,189 --> 01:12:39,156
Well actually I'll be listed
as junior author.

1528
01:12:39,158 --> 01:12:41,292
It's not exactly what I
wanted, but at least now I

1529
01:12:41,294 --> 01:12:44,896
finally have an agent
and book deal.

1530
01:12:46,632 --> 01:12:48,566
Thank you.

1531
01:13:06,817 --> 01:13:09,019
You're late pizza boy.

1532
01:13:09,021 --> 01:13:10,086
Sorry.

1533
01:13:11,289 --> 01:13:13,088
Hey, what's this?

1534
01:13:13,090 --> 01:13:15,124
Oh don't worry about them.

1535
01:13:15,126 --> 01:13:17,259
They're with me, so...

1536
01:13:18,728 --> 01:13:21,697
Your total is $19.65, sir.

1537
01:13:21,998 --> 01:13:23,532
There you go.

1538
01:13:25,535 --> 01:13:27,836
Hey babe, you got a
single for pizza boy?

1539
01:13:27,838 --> 01:13:29,071
Coming.

1540
01:13:30,807 --> 01:13:32,541
Thanks.

1541
01:13:35,778 --> 01:13:37,078
Thank you.

1542
01:13:39,648 --> 01:13:41,849
No distractions.

1543
01:13:43,652 --> 01:13:47,055
Writing comes first.

1544
01:13:48,157 --> 01:13:50,692
Henry, I...

1545
01:13:51,962 --> 01:13:54,628
He is making me a
much better writer.

1546
01:13:54,630 --> 01:13:56,763
I'll bet he his.

1547
01:13:56,765 --> 01:13:59,866
And how much better of a writer
could he be making you, Hannah?

1548
01:13:59,868 --> 01:14:02,936
Why don't you show us?

1549
01:14:02,938 --> 01:14:05,605
Who wrote<i> slaughter house five</i>?

1550
01:14:05,607 --> 01:14:06,840
Please don't do this.

1551
01:14:06,842 --> 01:14:10,210
This could be educational
for all of us.

1552
01:14:10,212 --> 01:14:12,713
How about <i>the native
son,</i> or <i>catch 22.</i>

1553
01:14:12,715 --> 01:14:14,981
Why isn't enough
that I'm your friend?

1554
01:14:14,983 --> 01:14:16,115
<i>Lord of the flies.</i>

1555
01:14:16,117 --> 01:14:17,950
<i>Portnoy's complaint.</i>

1556
01:14:17,952 --> 01:14:19,552
Ooh, <i>Harry Potter.</i>

1557
01:14:19,554 --> 01:14:21,721
I'll bet you know <i>Harry Potter.</i>

1558
01:14:21,723 --> 01:14:24,557
Why isn't it enough that
I believe in your writing?

1559
01:14:24,559 --> 01:14:26,158
<i>Sophie's choice.</i>

1560
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:27,193
Who wrote that?

1561
01:14:27,195 --> 01:14:30,696
Published in the
English language.

1562
01:14:30,698 --> 01:14:32,698
It's just not enough that I've
always believed in you.

1563
01:14:32,700 --> 01:14:35,200
You never even read
<i>gatsby.</i> Did you?

1564
01:14:35,202 --> 01:14:37,535
Didn't even crack
the book, I bet.

1565
01:14:37,537 --> 01:14:39,304
Well...

1566
01:14:41,607 --> 01:14:44,809
At least I'm not delivering
pizzas for a living.

1567
01:14:46,145 --> 01:14:50,548
So you've read all
these fancy novels.

1568
01:14:50,550 --> 01:14:53,118
My book's being published.

1569
01:14:54,020 --> 01:14:55,986
Is yours?

1570
01:15:25,750 --> 01:15:27,550
Sorry I'm late.

1571
01:15:31,655 --> 01:15:32,855
What have you got there?

1572
01:15:32,857 --> 01:15:34,924
New pages.

1573
01:15:34,926 --> 01:15:37,526
I am ready to read.

1574
01:15:37,528 --> 01:15:40,028
Way to go Henry.

1575
01:15:40,030 --> 01:15:41,897
Have a seat right here.
Hello everyone.

1576
01:15:41,899 --> 01:15:43,932
Who is this guy?

1577
01:15:43,934 --> 01:15:48,003
I have invited my spiritual
advisor, Dr. xiroman,

1578
01:15:48,005 --> 01:15:49,171
to join our writing group.

1579
01:15:49,173 --> 01:15:50,772
You must be joking, Colette.

1580
01:15:50,774 --> 01:15:53,308
No I'm not joking, Alan.

1581
01:15:53,310 --> 01:15:56,977
The doctor and I will
soon be published authors.

1582
01:15:56,979 --> 01:15:59,547
We have signed with
the Lois pepper agency.

1583
01:15:59,815 --> 01:16:01,582
Yay!

1584
01:16:03,952 --> 01:16:05,719
No, you can't do this.

1585
01:16:05,721 --> 01:16:07,888
But why not?

1586
01:16:07,890 --> 01:16:09,924
Because.. Since William is gone
there is an open space.

1587
01:16:09,926 --> 01:16:12,560
We all have to agree
on new members.

1588
01:16:12,562 --> 01:16:14,028
I don't care about
your silly rules.

1589
01:16:14,030 --> 01:16:15,229
I am the leader of the group.

1590
01:16:15,231 --> 01:16:16,297
Please.

1591
01:16:16,299 --> 01:16:18,231
I am the leader of the group!

1592
01:16:18,233 --> 01:16:23,069
And Dr. xiroman is my co-author
and he is joining the group.

1593
01:16:23,070 --> 01:16:24,038
He is not.

1594
01:16:24,039 --> 01:16:25,071
Yes he is.

1595
01:16:25,073 --> 01:16:26,606
Is not.
Is too.

1596
01:16:26,608 --> 01:16:28,575
Is not!
Is too!

1597
01:16:28,577 --> 01:16:30,243
Stop! Stop!

1598
01:16:31,745 --> 01:16:33,146
Sorry.

1599
01:16:33,148 --> 01:16:36,549
Um, I just... I have
something I need to say.

1600
01:16:39,085 --> 01:16:40,686
Um, I'm leaving this group.

1601
01:16:40,688 --> 01:16:41,987
No you can't leave.

1602
01:16:41,989 --> 01:16:43,956
Hannah, come on, all for one.

1603
01:16:43,958 --> 01:16:46,825
I know, Alan, I'm sorry.

1604
01:16:46,827 --> 01:16:48,594
Um...

1605
01:16:48,596 --> 01:16:52,164
Richard is going to be
mentoring me now, so...

1606
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:57,102
And today is the twenty second,
so, you know, two and two

1607
01:16:57,104 --> 01:17:00,171
equals four and you know four is
one of my luckier numbers...

1608
01:17:00,173 --> 01:17:01,572
Oh gosh.

1609
01:17:01,574 --> 01:17:03,040
I'm quitting this.

1610
01:17:03,042 --> 01:17:05,776
I'm sorry, Alan.

1611
01:17:05,778 --> 01:17:08,546
You're just doing this to
upstage the fact that

1612
01:17:08,548 --> 01:17:09,981
we've landed an agency.

1613
01:17:09,983 --> 01:17:13,017
Yes, this is what it's
all about, isn't it?

1614
01:17:13,019 --> 01:17:15,987
The spotlight's always on
little miss sunshine over here.

1615
01:17:15,989 --> 01:17:18,222
With her agent and her book
deal and her movie deal,

1616
01:17:18,224 --> 01:17:21,158
and her new iPad.
Didn't miss that!

1617
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:22,959
I got a news flash
for all of you.

1618
01:17:22,961 --> 01:17:26,530
John k butzin is
saying sayonara.

1619
01:17:26,532 --> 01:17:32,903
This group has done
nothing but stifle the

1620
01:17:32,905 --> 01:17:35,172
creativity of a certain writer.

1621
01:17:36,608 --> 01:17:38,275
What's going on with you two?

1622
01:17:38,277 --> 01:17:39,775
He thinks your writing's crap.

1623
01:17:39,776 --> 01:17:40,744
Oh really?

1624
01:17:40,745 --> 01:17:45,181
Oh who cares what this phony
balogna whatever he is says

1625
01:17:45,183 --> 01:17:47,316
about anything, alright?

1626
01:17:47,318 --> 01:17:52,288
Because there is a certain
Mr. Clint Eastwood.

1627
01:17:52,290 --> 01:17:54,523
He's gonna see my writing.

1628
01:17:54,525 --> 01:18:00,562
He's gonna see my writing
when I go on the-the tour.

1629
01:18:00,564 --> 01:18:03,164
You know what, I'm
done with all of you.

1630
01:18:03,166 --> 01:18:06,167
As far as I'm concerned,
you're all a bunch of pussies.

1631
01:18:06,169 --> 01:18:10,138
Pussy, pussy, pussy,
pussy, pussies.

1632
01:18:19,714 --> 01:18:21,114
Get out.

1633
01:18:21,616 --> 01:18:23,083
Now.

1634
01:18:23,085 --> 01:18:25,586
As the leader of this group,
I've determined your actions are

1635
01:18:25,588 --> 01:18:27,754
contrary to our stated purpose.

1636
01:18:27,756 --> 01:18:28,822
Get out.

1637
01:18:28,824 --> 01:18:30,224
You can not throw me out, Alan.

1638
01:18:30,226 --> 01:18:33,227
Then go to your room
and take him with you.

1639
01:18:33,229 --> 01:18:37,631
Won't be the first guy.

1640
01:18:37,633 --> 01:18:39,967
Well we certainly will
have a lot to talk about

1641
01:18:39,969 --> 01:18:42,301
You go by yourself. I am done.

1642
01:18:42,303 --> 01:18:44,303
It's just like Alan
to finish first.

1643
01:18:47,708 --> 01:18:50,943
I told you it was simply
research, poodles.

1644
01:18:50,945 --> 01:18:54,780
I don't understand how all
this could happen. Just...

1645
01:19:09,795 --> 01:19:11,763
Idea for novel.

1646
01:19:17,603 --> 01:19:19,771
Here, take it.

1647
01:19:20,973 --> 01:19:23,173
Maybe you can use some of
my ideas in your novel.

1648
01:19:34,019 --> 01:19:35,286
Henry.

1649
01:19:37,522 --> 01:19:39,023
Henry, wait.

1650
01:19:39,758 --> 01:19:42,725
Henry, I-I wanna read that.

1651
01:19:43,961 --> 01:19:46,963
Henry, do you think we could
talk for just a second?

1652
01:19:46,965 --> 01:19:48,665
Henry, wait!
Henry, Henry.

1653
01:19:48,667 --> 01:19:50,767
I'm sorry.

1654
01:20:02,945 --> 01:20:05,213
Strudel shipped out.

1655
01:20:07,917 --> 01:20:11,520
She wanted to stay, but uh...

1656
01:20:11,522 --> 01:20:13,555
I just didn't have time
for a relationship...

1657
01:20:13,557 --> 01:20:16,224
Especially not now, you know?

1658
01:20:16,226 --> 01:20:19,594
With the way my book
is selling, you know?

1659
01:20:20,630 --> 01:20:24,298
She uh...

1660
01:20:24,300 --> 01:20:28,903
Well she was collateral damage.

1661
01:20:31,039 --> 01:20:33,274
Hated it.

1662
01:20:33,276 --> 01:20:34,875
Just hated it.

1663
01:20:38,547 --> 01:20:40,581
What a dame.

1664
01:20:41,249 --> 01:20:42,650
Sigrid.

1665
01:20:45,152 --> 01:20:51,157
She had the smarts of my first
wife, the body of my second,

1666
01:20:51,159 --> 01:20:57,897
and thank God she wasn't
anything like my third wife.

1667
01:20:57,899 --> 01:20:59,265
Yeah.

1668
01:21:01,302 --> 01:21:03,535
Yeah, I did the right thing.

1669
01:21:04,704 --> 01:21:07,206
Yeah I did.

1670
01:21:08,007 --> 01:21:13,011
But now, all that matters is
that the <i>roaring lion</i>

1671
01:21:13,013 --> 01:21:16,882
book tour is about to begin.

1672
01:21:16,884 --> 01:21:22,221
And I can't wait to hit the
road, and meet the good people

1673
01:21:22,223 --> 01:21:25,289
of this great nation.

1674
01:21:25,291 --> 01:21:28,259
Good American people.

1675
01:21:45,877 --> 01:21:48,011
Isn't it exciting? Wah!

1676
01:21:48,013 --> 01:21:49,146
I'm so nervous.

1677
01:21:49,148 --> 01:21:50,814
It's crazy.

1678
01:21:51,783 --> 01:21:53,517
I don't really actually
know half the people here.

1679
01:21:53,519 --> 01:21:55,519
Most of them are
Richard's friends.

1680
01:21:57,622 --> 01:21:58,655
There he is.

1681
01:21:58,657 --> 01:21:59,956
Over there.

1682
01:22:03,194 --> 01:22:05,761
Nobody's shown up from
my old writing group.

1683
01:22:05,763 --> 01:22:07,163
Not one.

1684
01:22:07,697 --> 01:22:09,698
I guess I shouldn't
really be surprised.

1685
01:22:09,700 --> 01:22:11,767
I haven't heard from
anyone in months.

1686
01:22:12,103 --> 01:22:17,139
Ha. Well you just keep asking
me that, don't ya?

1687
01:22:17,141 --> 01:22:20,709
That's funny.
Um...

1688
01:22:22,145 --> 01:22:25,747
Yeah, no I still
can't think of one.

1689
01:22:27,183 --> 01:22:29,584
I'm going to go over there.

1690
01:22:31,554 --> 01:22:32,954
Hey you.

1691
01:22:33,255 --> 01:22:34,589
Thank you so much for coming.

1692
01:22:34,591 --> 01:22:35,990
Thank you.

1693
01:22:37,226 --> 01:22:39,661
Ok, hi, how are you?

1694
01:22:40,029 --> 01:22:41,729
Thank you so much for coming.

1695
01:22:41,731 --> 01:22:44,199
So sweet. Thank you.

1696
01:22:44,667 --> 01:22:45,999
Thank you, thank you.

1697
01:22:46,901 --> 01:22:48,235
Hey.

1698
01:22:48,237 --> 01:22:49,770
Oh my God.

1699
01:22:51,139 --> 01:22:52,172
Hi.

1700
01:22:52,174 --> 01:22:53,507
Henry!

1701
01:22:53,509 --> 01:22:54,942
Oh gosh, thank you.

1702
01:22:55,577 --> 01:22:56,577
I can't believe you came.

1703
01:22:56,579 --> 01:22:58,512
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

1704
01:22:58,514 --> 01:23:00,080
Hi.

1705
01:23:00,082 --> 01:23:01,548
You're the only one who
came from the group.

1706
01:23:01,550 --> 01:23:04,852
I just can't believe
you came to my signing.

1707
01:23:04,854 --> 01:23:07,253
Well it was hard to miss.
With that article

1708
01:23:07,255 --> 01:23:11,824
about you in people magazine.

1709
01:23:13,126 --> 01:23:17,530
I just wanted to come by and,
you know, see you and

1710
01:23:17,532 --> 01:23:19,665
tell you congratulations.

1711
01:23:20,033 --> 01:23:22,101
I'm really happy for you.

1712
01:23:24,104 --> 01:23:25,638
Thank you.

1713
01:23:27,039 --> 01:23:28,139
Henry.

1714
01:23:28,141 --> 01:23:30,108
Hello, how are you?

1715
01:23:30,110 --> 01:23:31,176
Hannah, please come back.

1716
01:23:31,177 --> 01:23:32,078
Your public.

1717
01:23:32,079 --> 01:23:33,278
Ok.

1718
01:23:34,714 --> 01:23:36,715
So, I'll let you get
back to it, huh?

1719
01:23:36,717 --> 01:23:38,216
Please stay.

1720
01:23:38,218 --> 01:23:41,686
No, Hannah, I can't.

1721
01:23:41,688 --> 01:23:45,991
I got a date...

1722
01:23:45,993 --> 01:23:48,592
With a flight attendant, so I
shouldn't keep her waiting.

1723
01:23:48,594 --> 01:23:52,863
Ok, well I guess you can't stay.

1724
01:23:52,865 --> 01:23:54,865
I'm sorry.

1725
01:23:54,867 --> 01:23:55,933
Just wait here for one second.

1726
01:23:55,935 --> 01:23:57,234
Hold on.

1727
01:24:09,214 --> 01:24:10,214
Oh Hannah.

1728
01:24:10,215 --> 01:24:11,514
I want you to have this.

1729
01:24:11,516 --> 01:24:13,850
Please take it.

1730
01:24:14,518 --> 01:24:16,052
Thanks.

1731
01:24:16,787 --> 01:24:19,222
Do you want to say
hello to Richard?

1732
01:24:19,224 --> 01:24:21,257
No.
No.

1733
01:24:21,259 --> 01:24:23,760
Come on Hannah.

1734
01:24:24,194 --> 01:24:26,629
Well your public awaits.

1735
01:24:26,631 --> 01:24:27,830
You better go greet them?

1736
01:24:27,831 --> 01:24:28,298
Ok.

1737
01:24:28,299 --> 01:24:29,932
Come here.

1738
01:24:30,567 --> 01:24:31,733
You look beautiful you know.

1739
01:24:31,735 --> 01:24:32,868
Hannah, we really do need you.

1740
01:24:33,804 --> 01:24:34,771
Woah!

1741
01:24:34,772 --> 01:24:35,772
Oh gosh.

1742
01:24:35,773 --> 01:24:37,673
Richard, Henry. Henry, Richard.

1743
01:24:37,675 --> 01:24:38,840
Big fan.

1744
01:24:40,944 --> 01:24:42,911
Well I did it.

1745
01:24:42,913 --> 01:24:48,783
I went to Hannah's book signing
and I congratulated her.

1746
01:24:48,785 --> 01:24:49,917
And supported her.

1747
01:24:49,919 --> 01:24:51,586
Writer to writer.

1748
01:24:51,588 --> 01:24:53,688
She dedicated her
book to me just like

1749
01:24:53,690 --> 01:24:55,823
she said she was gonna.

1750
01:24:56,725 --> 01:24:58,292
To Henry obert.

1751
01:24:58,294 --> 01:25:00,828
My forever friend.

1752
01:25:00,830 --> 01:25:02,296
Love Hannah.

1753
01:25:08,604 --> 01:25:10,103
It's nice.

1754
01:25:12,239 --> 01:25:13,940
This is why I love LA.

1755
01:25:13,942 --> 01:25:15,809
True story.

1756
01:25:15,811 --> 01:25:18,845
A guy delivers a pizza
to my house one night.

1757
01:25:18,847 --> 01:25:22,582
The very next week my wife has
someone in to clean the carpets.

1758
01:25:22,583 --> 01:25:23,551
Guess what.

1759
01:25:23,552 --> 01:25:24,618
Same guy.

1760
01:25:24,619 --> 01:25:25,519
Hmm.

1761
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,654
Small world, isn't it?

1762
01:25:27,656 --> 01:25:29,189
So we get to talking.

1763
01:25:29,191 --> 01:25:31,624
He tells me his name's
Henry, the writer, who

1764
01:25:31,626 --> 01:25:33,626
just finished a manuscript.

1765
01:25:33,628 --> 01:25:37,262
Offers a discount on the
carpets if I'll read ten pages.

1766
01:25:37,264 --> 01:25:39,098
Now I liked his thinking.

1767
01:25:39,100 --> 01:25:41,700
So I read ten pages.

1768
01:25:41,702 --> 01:25:43,002
Wow.

1769
01:25:43,004 --> 01:25:45,638
Now I want to read ten more.

1770
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,073
Before I knew it, I'd
finished the entire book.

1771
01:25:48,075 --> 01:25:52,744
Fresh voice, interesting
characters, and that ending.

1772
01:25:52,746 --> 01:25:56,247
The washed up impotent
novelist gunned down by the

1773
01:25:56,249 --> 01:25:59,784
jealous underemployed
pizza delivery man.

1774
01:25:59,786 --> 01:26:01,519
I mean this kid nailed it.

1775
01:26:01,521 --> 01:26:05,089
It is on the page.
You know what I mean?

1776
01:26:05,091 --> 01:26:08,159
So I want to sign
Mr. Henry obert.

1777
01:26:08,161 --> 01:26:10,528
Get <i>pizza to go</i> out there.

1778
01:26:12,797 --> 01:26:14,097
I predict a best seller.

1779
01:26:14,099 --> 01:26:16,867
Probably a movie too.

1780
01:26:16,869 --> 01:26:19,970
I'll call him with
the good news.

1781
01:26:19,972 --> 01:26:22,572
Or maybe I'll just
order a pizza.

1782
01:26:24,043 --> 01:26:25,043
Oh thank you very much.

1783
01:26:25,044 --> 01:26:25,977
You're welcome.

1784
01:26:25,978 --> 01:26:27,244
F Scott Fitzgerald.

1785
01:26:27,246 --> 01:26:29,246
Love, love, love his stuff.

1786
01:26:29,248 --> 01:26:31,547
Yeah. You know Fitzgerald?

1787
01:26:31,549 --> 01:26:33,716
"Gatsby believed in
the green light.

1788
01:26:33,718 --> 01:26:37,987
The orgiastic future that year
by year recedes before us.

1789
01:26:37,989 --> 01:26:40,056
It alluded us then,
but that's no matter.

1790
01:26:40,058 --> 01:26:43,125
Tomorrow we will run faster.

1791
01:26:43,127 --> 01:26:46,796
Stretch out our arms further."

1792
01:26:46,798 --> 01:26:48,064
I love that.

1793
01:26:48,066 --> 01:26:49,265
Yeah.

1794
01:26:49,267 --> 01:26:50,499
He died here, you know?

1795
01:26:50,501 --> 01:26:52,967
December 21st, 1940.

1796
01:26:52,969 --> 01:26:54,569
I go by there sometimes.

1797
01:26:54,571 --> 01:26:55,904
The place on Hayworth?

1798
01:26:55,906 --> 01:26:58,673
Is that weird that I do that?

1799
01:26:58,675 --> 01:26:59,774
I don't know,
people think I'm weird.

1800
01:26:59,775 --> 01:27:00,643
No.

1801
01:27:00,644 --> 01:27:01,610
Do you write?

1802
01:27:01,611 --> 01:27:06,648
I'm actually thinking of
joining a writing group.

1803
01:27:06,650 --> 01:27:10,018
Imagine that. We
both like Fitzgerald.

1804
01:27:10,020 --> 01:27:13,654
So, what is this? Some sort of
reality show or something?

1805
01:27:13,656 --> 01:27:16,890
Oh um, it's a documentary.

1806
01:27:16,891 --> 01:27:17,859
Yeah?

1807
01:27:17,860 --> 01:27:18,693
Yeah.

1808
01:27:18,694 --> 01:27:20,794
Wow, that's interesting.

1809
01:27:20,796 --> 01:27:22,696
What's it about?

1810
01:27:22,698 --> 01:27:24,698
It's about...

1811
01:27:41,615 --> 01:27:43,116
Excuse me. Wait, wait, wait!

1812
01:27:43,118 --> 01:27:45,084
Hi. One more thing.

1813
01:27:45,086 --> 01:27:47,019
Remember that question you were
asking me about my favorite

1814
01:27:47,021 --> 01:27:49,789
writer, and I never
had an answer.

1815
01:27:49,791 --> 01:27:52,625
Well it turns out
that I do have one.

1816
01:27:52,627 --> 01:27:54,993
Henry obert.

1817
01:27:54,995 --> 01:27:56,261
He is a great writer.

1818
01:27:56,263 --> 01:27:58,597
In fact.

1819
01:27:58,599 --> 01:28:01,066
He's a best selling author.

1820
01:28:03,236 --> 01:28:05,604
I knew him when.

1820
01:28:06,305 --> 01:28:12,826
