00:37:30,898 --> 00:37:32,900
So get your shit together.
718
00:37:32,967 --> 00:37:34,401
Please.
719
00:37:37,103 --> 00:37:38,472
Thanks.
720
00:37:39,673 --> 00:37:40,774
Thank you.
721
00:37:43,978 --> 00:37:45,244
What about talk shows?
722
00:37:45,311 --> 00:37:47,715
He's too unpredictable
for network TV.
723
00:37:47,781 --> 00:37:50,249
But the booker at Fallon
said maybe,
724
00:37:50,316 --> 00:37:52,353
if there's a cancelation.
725
00:37:52,419 --> 00:37:53,754
Yes, wake up!
726
00:37:53,821 --> 00:37:54,788
Then cancel someone.
727
00:37:54,855 --> 00:37:56,155
What do you mean,
cancel someone?
728
00:37:56,222 --> 00:37:57,858
I don't know,
put out a hit.
729
00:37:57,925 --> 00:37:59,460
Put some ether on a rag
or something.
730
00:37:59,526 --> 00:38:01,895
I don't care how you do it,
just do it!
731
00:38:03,162 --> 00:38:05,099
Oh, no, no, no.
He's sleeping.
732
00:38:05,164 --> 00:38:07,001
He's alive.
He's sleeping.
733
00:38:07,067 --> 00:38:08,702
He's an old man.
734
00:38:08,769 --> 00:38:10,704
He's Harris Shaw,
the famous author.
735
00:38:10,771 --> 00:38:11,872
Let's go.
736
00:38:11,939 --> 00:38:13,641
Do you want to buy a book?
737
00:38:13,707 --> 00:38:15,342
I have...
738
00:38:15,409 --> 00:38:17,044
- Wake up!
- Lucy?
739
00:38:17,111 --> 00:38:18,612
Harris, come on!
740
00:38:18,679 --> 00:38:23,517
Why doesn't anyone
want to buy your fucking book?
741
00:38:23,584 --> 00:38:26,185
- Has Jack called?
- Repeatedly. He won't stop.
742
00:38:26,252 --> 00:38:27,621
And?
743
00:38:27,688 --> 00:38:29,255
And...
744
00:38:29,322 --> 00:38:30,691
you told me not to answer.
745
00:38:30,758 --> 00:38:33,259
Okay, well, maybe next time
you should.
746
00:38:33,326 --> 00:38:34,662
Look, Harris is already
a legend.
747
00:38:34,728 --> 00:38:36,730
But he's also
a brilliant writer.
748
00:38:36,797 --> 00:38:38,766
Now, get him to read
from the book.
749
00:38:38,832 --> 00:38:39,967
[laughs]
750
00:38:40,034 --> 00:38:41,167
That's...
751
00:38:41,234 --> 00:38:42,703
God, you're funny, Rachel.
752
00:38:42,770 --> 00:38:44,972
- I'm being serious.
- I'm serious.
753
00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:47,240
I'm nothing to Harris.
754
00:38:47,306 --> 00:38:48,776
I can't get him to do anything.
755
00:38:48,842 --> 00:38:51,310
All I am to him
is is fucking driver
756
00:38:51,378 --> 00:38:53,447
and his scotch Sherpa, okay?
757
00:38:53,514 --> 00:38:55,382
You're Lucy Stanbridge.
758
00:38:55,449 --> 00:38:58,085
You're also his editor
and his publisher.
759
00:38:58,152 --> 00:39:01,488
Right, two things he does not
want me to be, believe me.
760
00:39:01,555 --> 00:39:02,890
It's not happening.
761
00:39:02,956 --> 00:39:05,059
- [phone chimes]
- Did you order something
762
00:39:05,125 --> 00:39:06,927
from Logo & Go apparel?
763
00:39:06,994 --> 00:39:09,262
I think they're T-shirts
or something.
764
00:39:09,329 --> 00:39:10,864
Uh...
765
00:39:10,931 --> 00:39:12,766
What? I can't hear you.
766
00:39:12,833 --> 00:39:14,300
You're breaking up.
767
00:39:16,670 --> 00:39:17,938
[sighs]
768
00:39:20,507 --> 00:39:21,975
[pounding on door]
769
00:39:22,042 --> 00:39:23,177
Bugger off.
770
00:39:23,242 --> 00:39:25,311
It's your alcohol!
771
00:39:26,980 --> 00:39:28,382
They're 20 each.
772
00:39:28,449 --> 00:39:30,551
Two for 35.
773
00:39:30,617 --> 00:39:32,653
I'll throw in the book.
774
00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:35,221
I'll throw in
two books.
775
00:39:35,288 --> 00:39:37,458
Give you a little discount.
776
00:39:37,524 --> 00:39:41,294
You don't even have to buy it
if you just wear it.
777
00:39:48,402 --> 00:39:50,236
Dive bars and T-shirts.
778
00:39:50,303 --> 00:39:52,339
It's impressive.
779
00:39:53,306 --> 00:39:54,742
[scoffs]
780
00:39:54,808 --> 00:39:56,309
It's... It's...
781
00:39:56,376 --> 00:39:57,678
It's part of the new
782
00:39:57,745 --> 00:40:01,081
Harris Shaw lifestyle
brand approach.
783
00:40:01,148 --> 00:40:03,717
What's that, the Martha
Stewart of hard living?
784
00:40:03,784 --> 00:40:05,119
Mm-hmm.
785
00:40:05,185 --> 00:40:07,921
Kale is out.
Scotch is in.
786
00:40:07,988 --> 00:40:09,322
Right.
787
00:40:11,458 --> 00:40:12,659
What are you doing here?
788
00:40:12,726 --> 00:40:14,027
Well, I've been
following your tour
789
00:40:14,094 --> 00:40:15,863
and, you know, I wanted
to come check in on you.
790
00:40:15,929 --> 00:40:17,865
You got time for a drink?
I'm buying.
791
00:40:20,834 --> 00:40:22,503
[sighs]
792
00:40:30,844 --> 00:40:32,146
Okay, I just...
793
00:40:32,212 --> 00:40:33,547
I just want to say,
794
00:40:33,614 --> 00:40:35,314
just because I'm giving up
795
00:40:35,382 --> 00:40:39,219
does not mean that I'm going
to let you fuck me on this deal.
796
00:40:39,285 --> 00:40:40,454
I don't...
797
00:40:40,521 --> 00:40:41,855
I don't want
to play any games.
798
00:40:41,922 --> 00:40:44,191
No more games.
I don't want to play games.
799
00:40:44,258 --> 00:40:45,659
No more games.
800
00:40:47,861 --> 00:40:50,998
I just feel like I have
something that you want.
801
00:40:51,064 --> 00:40:52,332
- Yeah.
- And so,
802
00:40:52,399 --> 00:40:53,700
I'm going to take
full advantage of it.
803
00:40:53,767 --> 00:40:55,736
- Okay.
- So we'll just...
804
00:40:55,803 --> 00:40:58,472
We'll just call Phil
in the morning, right?
805
00:40:58,539 --> 00:41:00,474
- It's already taken care of.
- Okay.
806
00:41:03,076 --> 00:41:04,545
- Wait.
- What?
807
00:41:04,611 --> 00:41:06,113
- What did you say?
- It's already taken care of.
808
00:41:06,180 --> 00:41:09,016
- It's done, it's good.
- Wait, wait a minute.
809
00:41:09,082 --> 00:41:10,384
How could you...
810
00:41:10,450 --> 00:41:11,852
How could you two
negotiate without me?
811
00:41:11,919 --> 00:41:14,054
- It's my company.
- Don't worry.
812
00:41:14,121 --> 00:41:16,056
It's a fair number.
813
00:41:17,758 --> 00:41:19,927
It's a lower number,
isn't it?
814
00:41:25,032 --> 00:41:26,400
Isn't it?
815
00:41:29,269 --> 00:41:30,437
What?
816
00:41:30,504 --> 00:41:32,005
Oh, Jesus.
817
00:41:32,072 --> 00:41:33,974
Unbelievable.
818
00:41:34,041 --> 00:41:35,175
Un-fucking-believable.
819
00:41:35,242 --> 00:41:36,443
[exhales]
820
00:41:36,510 --> 00:41:37,978
Of course it's a lower number.
821
00:41:38,045 --> 00:41:40,080
- You're further in the hole now.
- Oh, my God.
822
00:41:40,147 --> 00:41:41,949
The book still adds value.
823
00:41:42,015 --> 00:41:43,684
No one's interested
in the book.
824
00:41:43,750 --> 00:41:45,319
They're interested
in this freak show...
825
00:41:45,385 --> 00:41:47,387
We haven't hit
critical mass, okay?
826
00:41:47,454 --> 00:41:49,723
We're not there yet.
But we will be.
827
00:41:49,790 --> 00:41:51,592
You're dragging the man's
legacy through the mud.
828
00:41:51,658 --> 00:41:53,460
Oh, whatever.
His...
829
00:41:53,527 --> 00:41:54,828
Harris's legacy
is on him, okay?
830
00:41:54,895 --> 00:41:56,730
I'm talking about
your father's.
831
00:42:01,336 --> 00:42:02,669
Get out.
832
00:42:13,146 --> 00:42:15,983
Oh, and when you talk
to Phil in the morning,
833
00:42:16,049 --> 00:42:19,519
please tell him
that he's fucking fired.
834
00:42:30,464 --> 00:42:31,932
[car engine starts]
835
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,134
[screams]
836
00:42:34,201 --> 00:42:36,703
The book needed a more
cohesive shape.
837
00:42:36,770 --> 00:42:38,772
A greater unifying thing.
838
00:42:38,839 --> 00:42:40,474
A great editor strains
839
00:42:40,540 --> 00:42:42,276
the metaphorical dregs
from the wine,
840
00:42:42,343 --> 00:42:45,045
and it's clear Mr. Shaw
needs a great editor,
841
00:42:45,112 --> 00:42:48,181
as this new vintage
will not age well, I'm afraid.
842
00:42:48,248 --> 00:42:50,918
Succinctly put,
as usual, Mr. Nolan.
843
00:42:50,984 --> 00:42:54,621
But do you think fans of Shaw's
seminal novel, "Atomic Autumn,"
844
00:42:54,688 --> 00:42:57,491
might still appreciate
"The Future Is X-Rated"?
845
00:42:57,557 --> 00:42:59,626
Mr. Shaw and I
have our differences,
846
00:42:59,693 --> 00:43:01,261
- but this isn't personal.
- [coughing]
847
00:43:01,329 --> 00:43:05,032
The book is determined
to offend every ideology
848
00:43:05,098 --> 00:43:07,901
that apparently brought on
its so-called event.
849
00:43:07,968 --> 00:43:09,569
It's a laundry list
of grievances
850
00:43:09,636 --> 00:43:11,872
rather than a thoughtful
examination
851
00:43:11,939 --> 00:43:13,341
of how this world came to be.
852
00:43:13,408 --> 00:43:16,276
So, what do you make
of this so-called tour?
853
00:43:16,344 --> 00:43:18,211
Well, while the book
is far from perfect,
854
00:43:18,278 --> 00:43:21,748
I think it deserves better
than its author's urine.
855
00:43:21,815 --> 00:43:24,818
If it's legitimacy
the publisher's looking for,
856
00:43:24,885 --> 00:43:27,888
a circus isn't the best way
to achieve it.
857
00:43:27,955 --> 00:43:29,323
To quote from the book itself,
858
00:43:29,390 --> 00:43:31,792
"Art is not propaganda.
859
00:43:31,858 --> 00:43:34,194
It's an expression
of the truth."
860
00:43:43,303 --> 00:43:44,905
"Art is not propaganda.
861
00:43:44,972 --> 00:43:48,141
It is an expression
of the truth."
862
00:43:48,208 --> 00:43:49,910
Your words.
863
00:43:49,977 --> 00:43:53,847
I want you to read
from the book.
864
00:43:55,182 --> 00:43:57,250
Go and get me
another bloody bottle.
865
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,154
There will be no edits
or revisions
866
00:44:01,221 --> 00:44:02,923
to the draft submitted
by the author.
867
00:44:02,990 --> 00:44:05,959
In exchange, the author
must promote the book
868
00:44:06,026 --> 00:44:08,261
in accordance with
the publisher's request.
869
00:44:08,329 --> 00:44:09,663
I am the publisher,
870
00:44:09,730 --> 00:44:13,567
and my request is that you read
from the book.
871
00:44:14,668 --> 00:44:16,069
It is not selling, okay?
872
00:44:16,136 --> 00:44:17,871
No one is buying it.
873
00:44:17,938 --> 00:44:21,708
You're not very good at your
job, are you, silver spoon?
874
00:44:21,775 --> 00:44:23,243
That is not fair.
875
00:44:23,310 --> 00:44:25,746
You didn't even give me
a chance to edit it.
876
00:44:25,812 --> 00:44:29,484
This book needed
a more cohesive shape.
877
00:44:29,549 --> 00:44:31,018
A great unifying theme.
878
00:44:31,084 --> 00:44:33,320
That's a quote
from public radio.
879
00:44:33,388 --> 00:44:36,823
We're not exactly
Susan-bloody-Sontag, are we?
880
00:44:36,890 --> 00:44:38,692
- No, I'm...
- [chuckles]
881
00:44:38,759 --> 00:44:41,728
From the root
to the fruit.
882
00:44:41,795 --> 00:44:43,263
What does that even mean?
883
00:44:43,331 --> 00:44:46,401
It means that you don't have
the fucking freedom
884
00:44:46,467 --> 00:44:48,802
to tell me what to do.
885
00:44:48,869 --> 00:44:50,037
If your words
are so fucking perfect,
886
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:51,805
then why didn't you
read from it?
887
00:44:51,872 --> 00:44:53,940
Why don't you go and get me
another fucking bottle.
888
00:44:54,007 --> 00:44:56,176
Fine, drink yourself to death.
889
00:44:56,243 --> 00:44:59,112
Meanwhile, I'm going to edit
your fucking stupid book.
890
00:44:59,179 --> 00:45:03,717
Look, this is me
editing your book.
891
00:45:03,784 --> 00:45:05,185
And I'm doing such a great job.
You know why?
892
00:45:05,252 --> 00:45:07,921

What have you been up to
all this time?
1073
00:54:08,127 --> 00:54:10,631
I've been drinking.
1074
00:54:10,698 --> 00:54:11,832
Cheers.
1075
00:54:13,601 --> 00:54:16,604
You can't drink
on television, Harris.
1076
00:54:16,670 --> 00:54:18,439
This is going
to happen tomorrow.
1077
00:54:18,505 --> 00:54:20,641
- Oh.
- I'm going to ask you again.
1078
00:54:20,708 --> 00:54:23,043
Harris, it's been
a really long time
1079
00:54:23,109 --> 00:54:24,745
since anyone's seen you.
1080
00:54:24,812 --> 00:54:26,647
What have you been up to
all this time?
1081
00:54:28,082 --> 00:54:30,116
- Drinking.
- Goddamn it.
1082
00:54:30,985 --> 00:54:32,553
But why publish now? Huh?
1083
00:54:32,620 --> 00:54:35,656
What was the inspiration
for this new book?
1084
00:54:35,723 --> 00:54:37,190
Money.
1085
00:54:39,125 --> 00:54:40,427
Money?
1086
00:54:40,494 --> 00:54:43,330
Well, I didn't have
a lot else to do anyway,
1087
00:54:43,397 --> 00:54:44,999
so, you know...
1088
00:54:45,065 --> 00:54:46,299
- Money and boredom.
- Yeah.
1089
00:54:46,367 --> 00:54:48,167
If you're really bored
you start writing.
1090
00:54:48,234 --> 00:54:50,437
So you might as well
make some money.
1091
00:54:50,504 --> 00:54:52,606
See, people have
switched the channel by now.
1092
00:54:52,673 --> 00:54:54,975
You wrote your new book
because of money.
1093
00:54:55,042 --> 00:54:56,677
- Yeah, money.
- You know,
1094
00:54:56,744 --> 00:54:59,380
- despite your mantra...
- I need the money.
1095
00:54:59,446 --> 00:55:02,449
...the very popular
hashtag "bull..." bleep
1096
00:55:02,516 --> 00:55:05,786
is sweeping the nation.
1097
00:55:05,853 --> 00:55:07,054
But I read the book,
1098
00:55:07,121 --> 00:55:09,757
and I happen to think that...
1099
00:55:09,823 --> 00:55:13,761
there's an element of truth
behind those words.
1100
00:55:14,862 --> 00:55:16,063
That's right.
1101
00:55:16,130 --> 00:55:19,298
A profound, deeper meaning
that you're getting at.
1102
00:55:19,366 --> 00:55:21,035
Toughy-nosed git.
1103
00:55:21,101 --> 00:55:22,268
[scoffs]
1104
00:55:22,336 --> 00:55:25,039
You can't call the host names.
1105
00:55:25,105 --> 00:55:27,074
I'm not talking
to the host.
1106
00:55:27,141 --> 00:55:28,409
[sighs]
1107
00:55:28,475 --> 00:55:31,011
Go ahead,
give me an example
1108
00:55:31,078 --> 00:55:34,448
of the truth in my book.
1109
00:55:34,515 --> 00:55:36,950
You want to know
what I think?
1110
00:55:37,017 --> 00:55:38,452
Yeah.
1111
00:55:38,519 --> 00:55:41,320
Well, you said you knew
about the truth.
1112
00:55:41,388 --> 00:55:44,391
Tell me the bloody truth.
1113
00:55:46,727 --> 00:55:51,932
Mary and the baby die
during childbirth, right?
1114
00:55:51,999 --> 00:55:55,234
And Arthur says that he's going
to bury himself alive
1115
00:55:55,301 --> 00:55:57,203
along with them.
1116
00:55:57,270 --> 00:55:58,706
But he doesn't do it.
1117
00:55:58,772 --> 00:55:59,807
He can't do it.
1118
00:55:59,873 --> 00:56:03,309
And your words imply
that he's a coward
1119
00:56:03,377 --> 00:56:04,845
because of that.
1120
00:56:04,912 --> 00:56:06,447
But I don't...
1121
00:56:06,513 --> 00:56:09,349
I don't think that's true.
1122
00:56:10,951 --> 00:56:15,055
Because the wealthiest place
on earth is not, as you write,
1123
00:56:15,122 --> 00:56:16,724
the graveyard.
1124
00:56:16,790 --> 00:56:18,792
It's being alive.
1125
00:56:20,226 --> 00:56:22,963
Even if you're left
completely alone.
1126
00:56:23,030 --> 00:56:26,433
What you don't realize is that
you have completely failed
1127
00:56:26,500 --> 00:56:29,970
to rob the last man
on earth of hope.
1128
00:56:30,037 --> 00:56:31,338
Hope.
1129
00:56:33,272 --> 00:56:34,908
That's the truth
that I found.
1130
00:56:36,810 --> 00:56:39,179
Oh, my God.
1131
00:56:39,245 --> 00:56:40,814
[chuckles]
1132
00:56:42,315 --> 00:56:44,651
Did you write all this down?
1133
00:56:46,386 --> 00:56:49,356
Yeah, it all on the manuscript
in the car.
1134
00:56:50,190 --> 00:56:52,258
Go and get the manuscript.
1135
00:56:52,325 --> 00:56:54,828
- Really?
- Please.
1136
00:56:57,664 --> 00:57:00,067
[door opens and closes]
1137
00:57:00,134 --> 00:57:01,568
Bloody hell.
1138
00:57:03,137 --> 00:57:05,072
[keys rattle]
1139
00:57:05,139 --> 00:57:07,441
[cell phone rings]
1140
00:57:07,508 --> 00:57:09,209
- Hey.
- Just so you know,
1141
00:57:09,275 --> 00:57:11,445
agents are calling.
1142
00:57:11,512 --> 00:57:14,414
They want to send us
manuscripts.
1143
00:57:14,481 --> 00:57:15,649
What are you talking about?
1144
00:57:15,716 --> 00:57:17,351
The call I just got
1145
00:57:17,417 --> 00:57:20,286
from Drew Davis's agent
was particularly interesting.
1146
00:57:20,354 --> 00:57:21,822
Rachel, do not play with me.
1147
00:57:21,889 --> 00:57:23,791
She wants to meet
with you.
1148
00:57:23,857 --> 00:57:27,694
She's very intrigued by your
commitment to Harris Shaw.
1149
00:57:27,761 --> 00:57:29,797
Oh, my God.
Harris Shaw.
1150
00:57:29,863 --> 00:57:32,232
Fucking I knew it.
1151
00:57:32,298 --> 00:57:34,168
[sighs]
I knew it.
1152
00:57:34,234 --> 00:57:35,903
- How's he doing?
- You know what?
1153
00:57:35,969 --> 00:57:38,071
I think he's starting
to respect me.
1154
00:57:38,138 --> 00:57:40,073
I think he wants
to see my edits.
1155
00:57:41,875 --> 00:57:43,043
You made edits?
1156
00:57:43,110 --> 00:57:46,146
I'm sure they're great.
1157
00:57:46,213 --> 00:57:47,714
But don't show it to him.
1158
00:57:47,781 --> 00:57:49,449
Well, he asked to see them.
1159
00:57:49,516 --> 00:57:51,552
Lucy, why rock the boat
1160
00:57:51,618 --> 00:57:53,319
when you're this close
to shore?
1161
00:57:55,455 --> 00:57:57,257
Yeah, no. Yeah.
1162
00:57:57,323 --> 00:57:59,493
You know what I mean, right?
1163
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,195
Yeah. Okay.
1164
00:58:01,261 --> 00:58:02,696
Have a good night.
1165
00:58:02,763 --> 00:58:03,964
Bye.
1166
00:58:21,648 --> 00:58:24,852
Unity of effect?
1167
00:58:24,918 --> 00:58:26,086
Unity of effect.
1168
00:58:26,153 --> 00:58:29,189
It's the effect of the book
on the reader
1169
00:58:29,256 --> 00:58:30,557
is the purpose of the piece.
1170
00:58:30,624 --> 00:58:33,594
- Oh, yeah? Ah.
- It's the unity of effect?
1171
00:58:33,660 --> 00:58:37,364
You mean that your
Papa Stanbridge,
1172
00:58:37,431 --> 00:58:41,602
he donated a wing
to your school
1173
00:58:41,668 --> 00:58:45,873
so that you could understand
this bloody phrase.
1174
00:58:47,140 --> 00:58:48,876
Just forget about it.
Just... You know what?
1175
00:58:48,942 --> 00:58:51,778
Just forget...
Forget this ever happened, okay?
1176
00:58:51,845 --> 00:58:53,747
I don't fucking forget
easily.
1177
00:58:53,814 --> 00:58:55,115
You want to know something?
1178
00:58:55,182 --> 00:58:58,785
You are trying to accomplish
two things at once,
1179
00:58:58,852 --> 00:59:01,188
when you only need
to accomplish one.
1180
00:59:01,255 --> 00:59:02,589
Yeah?
1181
00:59:02,656 --> 00:59:03,957
Can you remember that?
1182
00:59:04,024 --> 00:59:07,461
Sometimes a man
1183
00:59:07,527 --> 00:59:10,898
has to dare
to be ambitious.
1184
00:59:10,964 --> 00:59:13,267
For instance,
1185
00:59:13,334 --> 00:59:14,768
I'm about to smoke...
1186
00:59:17,571 --> 00:59:19,439
and piss...
1187
00:59:20,407 --> 00:59:21,575
at the same time.
1188
00:59:21,642 --> 00:59:23,744
- Ugh.
- Yes.
1189
00:59:23,810 --> 00:59:29,283
And I think you should stick
to your young adult bullshite
1190
00:59:29,350 --> 00:59:31,518
that you keep
churning out.
1191
00:59:32,586 --> 00:59:35,589
[clears throat and coughs]
1192
00:59:41,628 --> 00:59:42,963
You like what I...
1193
00:59:43,030 --> 00:59:44,765
You like what I had
to say earlier.
1194
00:59:44,831 --> 00:59:46,733
You asked to see my edits.
1195
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,602
You said you wanted
to see them.
1196
00:59:48,669 --> 00:59:50,704
Fucking fraud.
1197
00:59:52,539 --> 00:59:55,042
You fucking fraud.
1198
01:00:02,649 --> 01:00:03,984
[whimpers]
1199
01:00:07,187 --> 01:00:08,356
[gasps]
1200
01:00:08,423 --> 01:00:09,656
[sniffles]
1201
01:00:09,723 --> 01:00:12,292
I don't care what you think,
okay?
1202
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,161
I don't fucking care.
1203
01:00:14,227 --> 01:00:15,729
- Yeah?
- [retching]
1204
01:00:15,796 --> 01:00:17,798
Well, it doesn't look like it
from here.
1205
01:00:18,665 --> 01:00:20,033
[coughing]
1206
01:00:21,268 --> 01:00:22,602
You know how much I care
1207
01:00:22,669 --> 01:00:25,906
about you and your famous
stupid book?
1208
01:00:25,973 --> 01:00:28,909
I've never even read
"Atomic Autumn."
1209
01:00:28,976 --> 01:00:29,910
I've nev...
1210
01:00:29,977 --> 01:00:32,112
- [retching]
- Okay, okay.
1211
01:00:32,179 --> 01:00:33,647
Wait. Hold on.
1212
01:00:36,750 --> 01:00:38,218
Heave away.
1213
01:00:39,786 --> 01:00:41,456
I've got you,
all right?
1214
01:00:41,521 --> 01:00:43,623
- You're done. You're done.
- [spits]
1215
01:00:43,690 --> 01:00:46,159
Okay, give me
your hand.
1216
01:00:46,226 --> 01:00:48,095
Give me your hand.
1217
01:00:54,735 --> 01:00:56,404
You know,
my dad told me
1218
01:00:56,471 --> 01:00:58,105
that the greatest day
of his life
1219
01:00:58,171 --> 01:01:00,140
was when he published
your book.
1220
01:01:02,576 --> 01:01:05,812
If he chose the book
over you...
1221
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:08,015
he chose wrong.
1222
01:01:11,651 --> 01:01:14,087
I always wanted to be
just like him.
1223
01:01:15,589 --> 01:01:18,859
The great Joseph Stanbridge.
1224
01:01:20,193 --> 01:01:24,865
"You're the best, kiddo.
You're the best."
1225
01:01:26,501 --> 01:01:29,302
That's what he used to say to
me after I'd read to him.
1226
01:01:32,773 --> 01:01:36,176
So we beat on...
1227
01:01:37,844 --> 01:01:39,112
boats against the current,
1228
01:01:39,179 --> 01:01:44,317
borne back ceaselessly
into the past.
1229
01:01:44,385 --> 01:01:45,552
The past.
1230
01:01:45,619 --> 01:01:47,087
[chuckles]
1231
01:01:47,154 --> 01:01:48,588
Gatsby.
1232
01:01:48,655 --> 01:01:50,857
Oh, well,
is that a fact?
1233
01:01:52,692 --> 01:01:56,063
It was Elizabeth's
favorite book.
1234
01:01:56,129 --> 01:01:57,764
Hmm.
1235
01:02:01,868 --> 01:02:03,270
What was she like?
1236
01:02:04,405 --> 01:02:05,972
Huh?
1237
01:02:06,039 --> 01:02:10,243
You ever hear people talk about
the one that got away?
1238
01:02:10,310 --> 01:02:11,611
Yeah.
1239
01:02:11,678 --> 01:02:15,816
Well, I was the one
who married her.
1240
01:02:18,852 --> 01:02:19,986
Well, if she was so special,
1241
01:02:20,053 --> 01:02:21,389
why the hell
would she marry you?
1242
01:02:21,456 --> 01:02:23,056
[chuckles]
1243
01:02:24,791 --> 01:02:29,830
Well, even the worst of us
get lucky.
1244
01:02:35,168 --> 01:02:37,037
Hey, I'll show you
something.
1245
01:02:37,104 --> 01:02:40,307
This is a picture
of us when...
1246
01:02:41,641 --> 01:02:44,945
we were at this book award.
1247
01:02:47,881 --> 01:02:50,518
Look the hell up.
You see? See there?
1248
