00:00:38.464 --> 00:00:42.252
J a worried man
with a worried mind

00:00:42.260 --> 00:00:45.502
j no one in front of
me and nothin' behind

00:00:45.513 --> 00:00:49.802
ji there's a woman on my lap
and she's drinkin' champagne

00:00:53.646 --> 00:00:57.514
j got white skin
got assassin's eyes

00:00:57.525 --> 00:01:00.562
j' I'm looking up into
the sapphire-tinted skies

00:01:00.570 --> 00:01:05.485
j I'm well dressed
waitin' on the last train

00:01:08.661 --> 00:01:12.654
j standin' on the gallows
with my head in the noose

00:01:15.877 --> 00:01:20.667
j any minute now I'm expecting
all hell to break loose

00:01:23.634 --> 00:01:27.297
j people are crazy
and times are strange

00:01:27.305 --> 00:01:31.139
j I'm locked in tight
I'm out of range

00:01:31.142 --> 00:01:35.806
j' I used to care but
things have changed j

00:02:06.344 --> 00:02:09.882
Man: "The young girl sat
perfectly still in the confessional,

00:02:09.889 --> 00:02:12.596
"listening to her father's
boots scrape like chalk

00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:14.932
"on the ancient
steps of the church,

00:02:14.936 --> 00:02:18.929
“then grow faint,
then disappear altogether.

00:02:18.940 --> 00:02:21.147
"She could sense the
priest beyond the grate..."

00:02:21.150 --> 00:02:24.984
On that particular Friday
afternoon last February,

00:02:24.987 --> 00:02:27.899
I was reading a story to my
advanced writer's workshop

00:02:27.907 --> 00:02:31.240
by one James leer,
junior lit major

00:02:31.243 --> 00:02:34.326
and sole inhabitant of
his own gloomy gulag.

00:02:34.330 --> 00:02:36.446
"She bit the flesh of her lip,

00:02:36.457 --> 00:02:38.914
"closed her eyes, mute."

00:02:44.548 --> 00:02:48.257
James' stories were about
as sunny as his disposition.

00:02:48.260 --> 00:02:50.376
I was distracted.

00:02:50.388 --> 00:02:54.006
Maybe it had something to do with the fact
that my wife had left me that morning.

00:02:54.016 --> 00:02:55.881
So, anyone?

00:02:55.893 --> 00:02:58.179
Maybe not.
Wives had left me before.

00:02:58.187 --> 00:02:59.927
Carrie.

00:02:59.939 --> 00:03:02.430
As usual, James' classmates,

00:03:02.441 --> 00:03:05.433
aware of a writer's
inherent vulnerability,

00:03:05.444 --> 00:03:08.607
offered their sensitive,
gentle opinions.

00:03:08.614 --> 00:03:11.651
I mean, Jesus,
what is it with you catholics?

00:03:11.659 --> 00:03:14.651
All right. All right.

00:03:14.662 --> 00:03:16.698
Let's try to be constructive
here, shall we?

00:03:19.458 --> 00:03:21.039
Howard, what about you?

00:03:21.043 --> 00:03:22.954
I hated it.

00:03:22.962 --> 00:03:24.827
His stories make me
want to kill myself.

00:03:27.174 --> 00:03:29.614
That's not exactly what I meant
by being constructive, Howard.

00:03:34.265 --> 00:03:36.381
Yes, Hannah?

00:03:36.392 --> 00:03:38.098
I think maybe we're
missing the point.

00:03:38.102 --> 00:03:40.058
Grady: Hannah green.

00:03:40.062 --> 00:03:42.724
A talented writer who
rented a room in my house.

00:03:42.732 --> 00:03:45.644
I knew her to be
insightful, kind

00:03:45.651 --> 00:03:48.893
and compulsively clad
in red cowboy boots.

00:03:48.904 --> 00:03:51.646
I had, in fact,
never once seen her without them.

00:03:51.657 --> 00:03:54.820
He respects us enough to forget
us, and that takes courage.

00:03:56.495 --> 00:04:00.283
Well put, Hannah.
And a good note to end on, I think.

00:04:00.291 --> 00:04:03.783
Oh, don't forget about
wordfest this weekend.

00:04:03.794 --> 00:04:07.127
And those of you who are driving vips
to the cocktail party this evening

00:04:07.131 --> 00:04:10.419
should have them at the chancellor's
house no later than 5:30.

00:04:13.637 --> 00:04:16.003
Thank you for that.
Is he all right?

00:04:19.977 --> 00:04:22.514
I think so. How about you?

00:04:22.521 --> 00:04:24.011
Me? Yeah. Why?

00:04:26.108 --> 00:04:27.814
Just checking.

00:04:32.656 --> 00:04:34.612
James: Turn off the
light, please.

00:04:43.876 --> 00:04:46.367
It felt good to be in the car.

00:04:46.378 --> 00:04:48.710
Alone.
Where I could clear my head.

00:04:53.886 --> 00:04:56.673
Tonight was the
opening of wordfest,

00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:01.094
the university's annual three-day
"gabathon" for writers and wanna-bes.

00:05:01.102 --> 00:05:05.061
My editor, Terry crabtree,
was flying in for the event.

00:05:05.064 --> 00:05:09.103
He alone had championed my last
novel, arsonist's daughter,

00:05:09.110 --> 00:05:11.692
and its critical success
had put us both on the map.

00:05:11.695 --> 00:05:14.027
But that was seven years ago,

00:05:14.031 --> 00:05:17.148
and I still hadn't
finished my follow-up.

00:05:17.159 --> 00:05:19.821
I knew Terry didn't give a
rat's ass about wordfest.

00:05:19.829 --> 00:05:22.536
He was coming to town to get a
look at my long-overdue book.

00:05:24.208 --> 00:05:25.948
I had to keep him at bay.

00:05:30.005 --> 00:05:31.290
Ah, Tripp.

00:05:31.298 --> 00:05:33.380
Crabtree, how are
you, my friend?

00:05:33.384 --> 00:05:35.295
It's good to see you, Tripp.

00:05:35.302 --> 00:05:36.508
Let me help you with this.

00:05:36.512 --> 00:05:38.719
Say hello to my new friend.

00:05:38.722 --> 00:05:40.758
Miss antonia... sloviak.

00:05:41.809 --> 00:05:44.300
Nice to meet you. This way.

00:05:44.311 --> 00:05:46.597
I took the Liberty of inviting
antonia to tonight's festivities.

00:05:46.605 --> 00:05:48.470
The more the merrier.

00:05:48.482 --> 00:05:50.643
Terry was telling me
about you on the plane.

00:05:50.651 --> 00:05:52.391
It was all so interesting.

00:05:52.403 --> 00:05:55.145
I was just explaining how a
book comes to be published,

00:05:55.156 --> 00:05:57.112
what you do as a writer,
what I do as an editor.

00:05:57.116 --> 00:06:00.734
I sweat blood for five years,
and he corrects my spelling.

00:06:00.744 --> 00:06:02.359
That's exactly what he said.

00:06:02.371 --> 00:06:04.327
We know each other pretty well.

00:06:04.331 --> 00:06:05.821
And actually, it's seven years.

00:06:07.960 --> 00:06:10.747
You know how many times I've
boarded an airplane just praying

00:06:10.754 --> 00:06:13.496
that some gal like her would
be sitting down beside me?

00:06:13.507 --> 00:06:15.714
She's a transvestite.
You're stoned.

00:06:15.718 --> 00:06:16.798
She's still a transvestite.

00:06:17.469 --> 00:06:19.255
So, how's the book?

00:06:19.263 --> 00:06:22.926
Uh, it's fine. It's done.

00:06:22.933 --> 00:06:26.471
Basically. I got a little
tinkering I've still got to do.

00:06:26.478 --> 00:06:30.437
Great! I was hoping I could get a
look at it sometime over the weekend.

00:06:30.441 --> 00:06:32.807
It's gonna be a little tough.
I'm at a critical juncture right now.

00:06:32.818 --> 00:06:34.138
I thought you were
just tinkering.

00:06:35.446 --> 00:06:39.030
Well, I am, but I have little
details I've got to work on.

00:06:39.033 --> 00:06:41.024
I'm not gonna pressure you.
I just got off the plane.

00:06:41.035 --> 00:06:42.900
I mean, I get pressure.
You know? I get...

00:06:44.580 --> 00:06:47.037
Know what I mean?

00:06:47.041 --> 00:06:50.533
What the hell in the hootenanny
do you suppose that would be?

00:06:50.544 --> 00:06:52.785
Grady: That would be a tuba.

00:06:57.551 --> 00:07:00.008
Terry: You didn't actually
purchase this car, did you?

00:07:00.012 --> 00:07:03.470
No, I got it from Jerry Nathan.
He owed me some money.

00:07:03.474 --> 00:07:08.309
Ah! He owes god money. Including my
commission on that faux novel of his.

00:07:08.312 --> 00:07:11.666
That perfume you're wearing, antonia, that
wouldn't happen to be cristalle, would it?

00:07:11.690 --> 00:07:14.056
Um, uh, yes, it is.

00:07:14.068 --> 00:07:15.433
How did you know?

00:07:15.444 --> 00:07:16.479
Lucky guess.

00:07:18.239 --> 00:07:20.195
Grady: The wordfest
kick-off party

00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.191
was always held at Sara
and Walter gaskell's house.

00:07:23.202 --> 00:07:27.195
She was the chancellor,
which meant she oversaw the university.

00:07:27.206 --> 00:07:28.946
Her husband, Dr. gaskell,

00:07:28.958 --> 00:07:30.994
was the chairman of
the english department,

00:07:31.001 --> 00:07:33.162
which meant he oversaw me.

00:07:37.549 --> 00:07:39.756
Isn't that a nice greenhouse?

00:07:39.760 --> 00:07:42.547
It's Mrs. gaskell's.
It's her hobby.

00:07:42.554 --> 00:07:44.215
I thought you were Mrs.
Gaskell's hobby.

00:07:44.223 --> 00:07:47.841
Piss off, will you, crabs?
I lost a wife today.

00:07:47.851 --> 00:07:52.185
You'll find another. She'll be
young, beautiful. They always are.

00:07:56.902 --> 00:08:00.065
Oh, hello, everyone.
Terry, good to see you again.

00:08:00.072 --> 00:08:02.859
Chancellor.
Don't you look ravishing.

00:08:04.910 --> 00:08:08.619
Oh, oh. Easy.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:08:08.622 --> 00:08:11.434
It's these goddamn shoes. I don't know
how anyone can walk in these things.

00:08:11.458 --> 00:08:12.538
Practice.

00:08:14.545 --> 00:08:16.251
I don't believe we've met.

00:08:16.255 --> 00:08:17.540
Antonia sloviak.

00:08:18.841 --> 00:08:20.547
Poe.

00:08:20.551 --> 00:08:22.212
Poe! Poe!

00:08:23.137 --> 00:08:25.298
Poe, stop! Poe!

00:08:25.306 --> 00:08:26.546
That wouldn't be Walter's dog, would it?

00:08:26.557 --> 00:08:27.842
Poel

00:08:28.726 --> 00:08:30.557
who's he barking at now?

00:08:30.561 --> 00:08:32.176
He's still barking at me.
He's blind.

00:08:33.439 --> 00:08:34.679
Stop this.

00:08:35.524 --> 00:08:37.480
Honestly.

00:08:37.484 --> 00:08:39.224
Excuse me, I need to talk to
you for a second, chancellor.

00:08:39.236 --> 00:08:41.602
I need to talk to you, too.

00:08:41.613 --> 00:08:44.650
Maybe you could help me take these coats to
the upstairs guest room, professor Tripp.

00:08:44.658 --> 00:08:47.195
I'd be happy to if I knew where
the upstairs guest room was.

00:08:48.078 --> 00:08:49.078
I could show you.

00:08:50.414 --> 00:08:52.279
Terry.

00:08:52.291 --> 00:08:54.657
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
We'll make ourselves at home.

00:08:54.668 --> 00:08:56.204
We'll let poe show us around.
Thanks.

00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.419
That's new, isn't it?

00:09:07.431 --> 00:09:09.231
Yeah, Walter just got
it back from the framer.

00:09:12.311 --> 00:09:13.642
You first.

00:09:16.732 --> 00:09:17.938
This morning... I'm pregnant.

00:09:24.490 --> 00:09:25.730
I'm sure.

00:09:32.831 --> 00:09:35.288
Well, that's...
That's very surprising.

00:09:38.796 --> 00:09:40.081
Does Walter know that, uh...

00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.336
I think Walter would find this
a little more than surprising.

00:09:54.895 --> 00:09:56.180
Emily left me this morning.

00:09:57.856 --> 00:10:00.222
She's left before.

00:10:00.234 --> 00:10:02.771
She's left the room before,
but she's always come back.

00:10:07.366 --> 00:10:08.366
So...

00:10:11.703 --> 00:10:14.991
I guess we just divorce our spouses,
marry each other and have this baby, right?

00:10:16.542 --> 00:10:17.702
Simple.

00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:20.705
Yeah, right. Simple.

00:10:27.261 --> 00:10:28.751
Is that cristalle?

00:10:29.596 --> 00:10:30.961
Mmm-hmm. Oh, god.

00:10:32.266 --> 00:10:34.382
I wear the same scent
as a transvestite.

00:10:36.019 --> 00:10:38.226
She is a transvestite,
isn't she?

00:10:38.230 --> 00:10:41.313
If she's not now, Terry'll make sure
she is by the end of the evening.

00:10:42.776 --> 00:10:44.357
Has he asked you
about the book yet?

00:10:45.362 --> 00:10:46.362
Yes.

00:10:47.322 --> 00:10:48.322
And?

00:10:50.742 --> 00:10:52.323
Are you gonna tell him?

00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.036
Maybe.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.

00:10:58.750 --> 00:11:00.035
Me either.

00:11:03.088 --> 00:11:05.420
Walter: DiMaggio's record
for hits in consecutive games

00:11:05.424 --> 00:11:08.211
is probably the most impressive
feat in all of sports,

00:11:08.218 --> 00:11:10.254
and in my opinion,
will never be broken.

00:11:10.262 --> 00:11:11.718
Come here, big guy.

00:11:11.722 --> 00:11:13.258
Antonia: His condition's so sad.

00:11:13.265 --> 00:11:14.905
Yes, but even blind,
he still gets around.

00:11:15.851 --> 00:11:19.218
Grady: I don't drink normally,

00:11:19.229 --> 00:11:23.097
but this was turning out
to be one fucked-up day.

00:11:23.108 --> 00:11:26.066
And now [I found myself in close
proximity to Sara's husband

00:11:26.778 --> 00:11:29.235
and his dog, poe.

00:11:29.239 --> 00:11:30.524
Walter,
I see you've met my friend.

00:11:30.532 --> 00:11:32.113
Oh, yes. She's charming.

00:11:32.117 --> 00:11:35.450
Despite his much-vaunted
Harvard education,

00:11:35.454 --> 00:11:38.537
Dr. Walter gaskell didn't have
a clue about his wife and me.

00:11:38.540 --> 00:11:41.623
Simply put, DiMaggio represented,
metaphorically speaking, of course,

00:11:41.627 --> 00:11:43.413
the husband as slugger.

00:11:43.420 --> 00:11:45.661
Poe had been on to
me since day one.

00:11:45.672 --> 00:11:48.414
Walter: In
fact, I personally believe

00:11:48.425 --> 00:11:52.213
that every woman in some way
desires to be Marilyn Monroe.

00:11:52.930 --> 00:11:56.172
Oh, I couldn't agree more.

00:11:56.183 --> 00:11:58.174
Man: I've had a lot of
successes over the years.

00:11:59.311 --> 00:12:01.302
Qq. Q was rich.

00:12:04.816 --> 00:12:06.772
Q completed a novel
every 18 months.

00:12:07.778 --> 00:12:09.234
I hated him.

00:12:09.238 --> 00:12:11.650
Finest work vanished
in less than five.

00:12:11.657 --> 00:12:14.774
So I find myself conflicted.

00:12:14.785 --> 00:12:18.118
Ask him if he's conflicted
about his house in the Hamptons.

00:12:18.121 --> 00:12:21.329
Grady. Well, professor.

00:12:21.333 --> 00:12:25.167
Q, for your information,
Hannah already has two stories published

00:12:25.170 --> 00:12:27.610
in the Paris review,
so you better dust off your "a" material.

00:12:28.382 --> 00:12:29.997
You didn't tell me
you were a writer.

00:12:32.177 --> 00:12:33.792
You didn't ask.

00:12:33.804 --> 00:12:35.465
How did you feel
about the adaptation?

00:12:35.472 --> 00:12:36.882
I thought it was more
literary than cinematic.

00:12:36.890 --> 00:12:38.096
Man: Grady.

00:12:38.976 --> 00:12:41.683
Douglas triddley, Amherst.

00:12:41.687 --> 00:12:45.305
I've had arsonist's daughter on my
graduate-studies syllabus three years running.

00:12:45.315 --> 00:12:47.271
No wonder it's still in print.

00:12:49.861 --> 00:12:51.541
Woman: Long time since
arsonist's daughter.

00:13:10.674 --> 00:13:12.380
Walter: There you are.

00:13:12.384 --> 00:13:16.377
I could have sworn I had a bottle
of 1975 lafite rothschild for q.

00:13:18.015 --> 00:13:21.007
Given that he's going to be addressing
500 people in less than an hour...

00:13:21.018 --> 00:13:22.508
You want to keep q happy.

00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:23.884
If he's happy, I'm happy.

00:13:44.916 --> 00:13:46.031
James?

00:13:51.548 --> 00:13:54.540
It's fake. It was my mother's.

00:13:54.551 --> 00:13:58.510
She won it in a penny arcade in Baltimore
when she went to catholic school.

00:14:00.223 --> 00:14:03.090
Well, that's very convincing.

00:14:03.101 --> 00:14:05.012
I used to shoot these
little paper caps,

00:14:06.229 --> 00:14:08.766
but they don't make them
anymore, the caps.

00:14:08.774 --> 00:14:09.889
It's just for good
luck, you know?

00:14:09.900 --> 00:14:11.561
Some people carry rabbit's feet.

00:14:12.736 --> 00:14:14.192
You carry firearms.

00:14:17.366 --> 00:14:20.324
No, thank you. I don't like to
lose control of my emotions.

00:14:22.621 --> 00:14:25.613
I'm not supposed to be here,
in case you're wondering.

00:14:25.624 --> 00:14:28.661
But the other night I was out
with Hannah at the movies,

00:14:28.669 --> 00:14:31.456
and she asked me since she was
coming, so, I ended up coming, too.

00:14:33.048 --> 00:14:35.130
You and, uh, Hannah,
you're seeing each other?

00:14:35.133 --> 00:14:36.794
No! What gave you that idea?

00:14:36.802 --> 00:14:37.802
James, relax.

00:14:38.845 --> 00:14:41.211
I'm not her father.
I just rent her a room.

00:14:41.223 --> 00:14:43.430
She likes old movies like I
do, that's all.

00:14:43.433 --> 00:14:45.424
What's the movie you guys saw?

00:14:45.435 --> 00:14:48.177
Son of fury with Tyrone
power and Frances farmer.

00:14:49.898 --> 00:14:52.389
She went crazy, Frances farmer.

00:14:52.401 --> 00:14:54.312
So did gene Tierney.
She's in it, too.

00:14:56.154 --> 00:14:57.394
Sounds like a good one.

00:14:57.406 --> 00:14:58.406
It wasn't bad.

00:15:02.160 --> 00:15:04.651
You're not like my other
teachers, professor Tripp.

00:15:04.663 --> 00:15:06.949
You're not like my other
students, James.

00:15:08.583 --> 00:15:10.289
Look, James,

00:15:10.293 --> 00:15:13.706
about this afternoon in
workshop, I'm sorry.

00:15:13.714 --> 00:15:16.456
I think I let things get
a little out of hand.

00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:23.261
Well... doesn't matter.
It only took me an hour to write.

00:15:24.307 --> 00:15:26.423
Really? That's remarkable.

00:15:27.644 --> 00:15:30.386
I have trouble sleeping.

00:15:30.397 --> 00:15:33.355
While I'm lying in bed,
I figure them out, the stories.

00:15:36.153 --> 00:15:37.518
You cold, James?

00:15:37.529 --> 00:15:38.689
Oh, a little.

00:15:39.865 --> 00:15:41.480
Why don't we go inside?

00:15:42.701 --> 00:15:44.441
It's colder in there.

00:15:44.453 --> 00:15:45.733
I guess you're right.

00:15:47.706 --> 00:15:50.539
Actually, I saw the greenhouse.

00:15:50.542 --> 00:15:53.342
I thought I'd come outside and take
a look at it. It looks like heaven.

00:15:56.047 --> 00:15:57.082
Looks like heaven?

00:15:57.090 --> 00:15:59.081
I saw a movie once.

00:15:59.092 --> 00:16:01.549
Part of it took place in heaven.
Everyone wore white.

00:16:02.429 --> 00:16:04.135
Lived in crystal
houses like that.

00:16:06.808 --> 00:16:07.808
I really should be going.

00:16:11.229 --> 00:16:12.560
Goodbye, professor Tripp.

00:16:12.564 --> 00:16:13.564
Hey, James.

00:16:14.566 --> 00:16:16.102
James, don't go. No.

00:16:17.402 --> 00:16:18.802
There's something
I want you to see.

00:16:20.614 --> 00:16:21.729
I'll miss my bus.

00:16:22.741 --> 00:16:23.776
It's worth it.

00:16:25.076 --> 00:16:26.191
Trust me.

00:16:31.291 --> 00:16:32.622
Hannah: Let me
help you with that.

00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:35.325
Thank you, dear. Thank you.

00:16:36.671 --> 00:16:37.671
Come on.

00:16:41.426 --> 00:16:45.135
Hey, you two.
James, are you riding with me?

00:16:45.138 --> 00:16:47.345
No, I'm going home...
No, he's going with me.

00:16:48.475 --> 00:16:51.387
Why don't you take crabtree
and his friend? All right?

00:16:52.229 --> 00:16:53.509
All right.
Where are they anyway?

00:16:53.772 --> 00:16:55.103
Here we are.

00:16:56.691 --> 00:17:00.058
Hmm. Well, hello there.

00:17:01.738 --> 00:17:05.447
James, this is my
editor, Terry crabtree.

00:17:05.450 --> 00:17:07.410
James. Hannah: James'll
know about George Sanders.

00:17:07.786 --> 00:17:09.026
George Sanders?

00:17:09.037 --> 00:17:10.743
Mr. crabtree was saying

00:17:10.747 --> 00:17:13.614
how George Sanders killed himself,
only he couldn't remember how.

00:17:13.625 --> 00:17:18.335
Pills. April 25,
1972 in a costa brava hotel room.

00:17:18.338 --> 00:17:20.829
How comprehensive of you.
Hannah: James is amazing.

00:17:20.841 --> 00:17:23.878
He knows all the movie suicides.
Go ahead, James. Tell him.

00:17:23.885 --> 00:17:25.845
There are so many.
Well, just a few, the big ones.

00:17:27.430 --> 00:17:31.264
Pier angeli, 1971 or
'72, also pills.

00:17:31.268 --> 00:17:33.475
Donald "red" Barry,
shot himself in 1980.

00:17:33.478 --> 00:17:36.390
Charles boyer,
1978, pills again.

00:17:36.398 --> 00:17:40.812
Charles butterworth, 1946, I think.
In a car.

00:17:40.819 --> 00:17:44.403
Supposedly, it was an accident,
but, you know, he was distraught.

00:17:44.406 --> 00:17:46.772
Dorothy dandridge, pills, 1965.

00:17:46.783 --> 00:17:49.320
Albert dekker, 1968.
He hung himself.

00:17:49.327 --> 00:17:51.659
He wrote his suicide note
in lipstick on his stomach.

00:17:51.663 --> 00:17:54.245
William inge,
carbon monoxide, 1973.

00:17:54.249 --> 00:17:56.490
Carole landis, pills again.
I forget when.

00:17:56.501 --> 00:17:59.664
George Reeves, Superman on
TV, shot himself.

00:17:59.671 --> 00:18:02.629
Jean seberg, pills,
of course, 1979.

00:18:02.632 --> 00:18:05.795
Everett Sloane, he was good.
Pills.

00:18:05.802 --> 00:18:09.090
Margaret sullavan, pills.
Lupe velez, a lot of pills.

00:18:09.097 --> 00:18:13.466
Gig young, he shot himself and his
wife in 1978. There are tons more.

00:18:13.476 --> 00:18:14.841
I haven't heard of half of them.

00:18:14.853 --> 00:18:16.684
You did them alphabetically.

00:18:16.688 --> 00:18:19.395
It's just how my brain work, I guess.
Terry: Fascinating.

00:18:19.399 --> 00:18:21.560
Say, come out with
us after the lecture.

00:18:21.568 --> 00:18:23.809
There's this place I always
get Tripp to take me.

00:18:23.820 --> 00:18:26.186
Actually, I just want to go home.
Don't be silly.

00:18:26.197 --> 00:18:28.233
No one your age just
wants to go home.

00:18:28.241 --> 00:18:30.761
Besides, faculty will be present.
Just consider it a field trip.

00:18:54.392 --> 00:18:55.598
James: Is that really it?

00:18:57.312 --> 00:18:58.347
That's really it.

00:18:59.981 --> 00:19:01.846
The one she wore
on her wedding day.

00:19:02.233 --> 00:19:03.564
So I'm told.

00:19:06.446 --> 00:19:08.778
Go ahead. Really?

00:19:09.950 --> 00:19:11.190
Really.

00:19:24.923 --> 00:19:26.208
She was small.

00:19:27.384 --> 00:19:29.340
Most people don't know that.

00:19:31.304 --> 00:19:32.794
The shoulders are so small.

00:19:36.893 --> 00:19:38.474
It looks so perfect.

00:19:41.147 --> 00:19:43.183
I bet it's the only
time she wore it.

00:19:44.776 --> 00:19:45.811
That day.

00:19:47.112 --> 00:19:49.899
She must have felt so happy.

00:19:54.202 --> 00:19:56.284
Must've cost Dr. gaskell a lot.

00:19:56.913 --> 00:19:59.325
I guess.

00:19:59.332 --> 00:20:02.824
Walter never tells Sara the truth about
how much he pays for these things.

00:20:04.295 --> 00:20:06.707
You're really good friends with
the chancellor, aren't you?

00:20:10.093 --> 00:20:11.378
Pretty good.

00:20:12.721 --> 00:20:14.882
I'm friends with her
husband, too.

00:20:16.725 --> 00:20:20.058
I guess you must be if you know
the combination to his closet,

00:20:20.061 --> 00:20:22.347
and he doesn't mind you being
in here in their bedroom.

00:20:24.733 --> 00:20:25.733
Right.

00:20:37.871 --> 00:20:41.489
Drive carefully. Stick close to
me in case it gets slippery, okay?

00:20:41.499 --> 00:20:43.785
We better skedaddle. James...

00:20:53.845 --> 00:20:54.925
You all right, James?

00:20:57.182 --> 00:21:00.845
Oh. I'm sorry, professor Tripp.

00:21:03.021 --> 00:21:04.386
Maybe it's

00:21:06.566 --> 00:21:08.807
seeing that jacket
that belonged to her.

00:21:11.571 --> 00:21:13.653
It just looks really lonely

00:21:15.700 --> 00:21:17.440
hanging there in a closet.

00:21:21.289 --> 00:21:22.995
Maybe I'm just a
little sad tonight.

00:21:25.543 --> 00:21:27.033
I'm a little sad
tonight, too, James.

00:21:29.506 --> 00:21:32.748
You mean,
with your wife leaving you and all?

00:21:38.306 --> 00:21:40.638
Hannah mentioned
something about it.

00:21:43.728 --> 00:21:46.344
Yeah, well,
it's complicated, James.

00:21:47.732 --> 00:21:49.768
I think we should go now.

00:22:23.184 --> 00:22:26.051
Easy, easy.

00:22:26.062 --> 00:22:28.849
He's a good boy, poe.
Poe's a good boy. Easy, poe.

00:22:29.524 --> 00:22:30.889
Easy. Good dog.

00:22:36.614 --> 00:22:38.400
Jesus Christ! Get off!

00:22:57.844 --> 00:22:58.959
Shit, James.

00:23:00.013 --> 00:23:01.753
You shot Dr. gaskell's dog.

00:23:05.101 --> 00:23:07.433
But I... I had to, didn't I?

00:23:07.437 --> 00:23:09.302
You could've pulled him off me.

00:23:09.314 --> 00:23:12.806
No, the dog was crazy, professor Tripp.
He was attacking you!

00:23:12.817 --> 00:23:15.149
The dog was attacking you...
All right, calm down, James.

00:23:15.153 --> 00:23:16.643
Calm down.
Don't freak out, all right?

00:23:19.991 --> 00:23:22.949
Okay. All right.
Do you have a mirror?

00:23:24.162 --> 00:23:26.949
It's the best way to see if
someone's still breathing.

00:23:26.956 --> 00:23:29.823
The dog is dead, James.
Believe me.

00:23:29.834 --> 00:23:31.620
I know a dead dog
when I see one.

00:23:34.339 --> 00:23:35.670
Oh, shit.

00:23:36.633 --> 00:23:38.043
What are we supposed to do now?

00:23:41.638 --> 00:23:45.130
First, you're gonna give me
that little cap gun of yours.

00:23:46.267 --> 00:23:47.427
Come on.

00:23:51.814 --> 00:23:54.100
Professor Tripp,
what are we gonna do with

00:23:56.027 --> 00:23:57.027
it?

00:23:59.822 --> 00:24:02.234
I don't know.
I'm still trying to figure out

00:24:02.242 --> 00:24:04.642
how to tell the chancellor that
I murdered her husband's dog.

00:24:05.245 --> 00:24:07.236
You? Trust me, James.

00:24:07.247 --> 00:24:10.705
When the family pet's been assassinated,
the owner does not want to hear

00:24:10.708 --> 00:24:13.290
that one of her students
was the triggerman.

00:24:13.294 --> 00:24:15.501
Does she wanna hear it
was one of her professors?

00:24:19.926 --> 00:24:20.926
I've got tenure.

00:24:23.513 --> 00:24:24.923
Hang on.

00:24:33.398 --> 00:24:34.854
It's still warm.

00:24:35.608 --> 00:24:36.688
Let's try feet first.

00:24:48.454 --> 00:24:50.866
Yuck! That is a big trunk.

00:24:52.417 --> 00:24:57.252
It holds a tuba, a suitcase, a dead
dog and a garment bag almost perfectly.

00:24:57.255 --> 00:25:00.088
Yep. That's just what they
used to say in the ads.

00:25:00.091 --> 00:25:01.797
Come on, crabtree.
I know you're holding.

00:25:01.801 --> 00:25:03.416
Whose tuba is that anyway?

00:25:03.428 --> 00:25:06.170
Miss sloviak's.
Can I ask you something about her?

00:25:06.180 --> 00:25:07.636
Yes, she is.

00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.596
So is your friend crabtree...

00:25:09.600 --> 00:25:11.431
Is he... is he gay?

00:25:11.436 --> 00:25:13.893
Most of the time he is, James.
Some of the time he isn't.

00:25:14.647 --> 00:25:16.183
What do we have here?

00:25:18.318 --> 00:25:19.398
This looks like...

00:25:20.945 --> 00:25:23.732
That's our old
friend, Mr. codeine.

00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:26.180
That should take the old pinch
out of the ankle. You want one?

00:25:27.660 --> 00:25:28.991
No thanks.
I'm fine without them.

00:25:29.620 --> 00:25:31.235
Right.

00:25:31.247 --> 00:25:32.783
That's why you were standing
in the chancellor's backyard

00:25:32.790 --> 00:25:34.451
spinning that cap gun of yours.

00:25:34.459 --> 00:25:37.576
You're fine. Yeah,
you're just as fit as a fucking fiddle.

00:25:50.308 --> 00:25:53.141
I'm sorry, James.
I'm sorry I said that.

00:26:12.705 --> 00:26:14.195
How about we try that again?

00:26:19.295 --> 00:26:21.331
Walter:/t is a great
pleasure to introduce

00:26:21.339 --> 00:26:23.830
best-selling author
Quentin morewood,

00:26:23.841 --> 00:26:26.002
known to his
friends simply as q.

00:26:46.239 --> 00:26:49.276
I am a writer.

00:26:53.704 --> 00:26:56.662
As a writer, you learn that
everyone you meet has a story.

00:26:56.666 --> 00:26:59.373
Every bartender,
every taxi driver

00:26:59.377 --> 00:27:02.244
has an idea that would
make a great book.

00:27:03.256 --> 00:27:05.372
Presumably each of
you has an idea.

00:27:05.383 --> 00:27:08.591
But how do you get
from there to here?

00:27:08.594 --> 00:27:11.836
What is the bridge from the
water's edge of inspiration

00:27:11.848 --> 00:27:13.930
to the far shore
of accomplishment?

00:27:27.363 --> 00:27:28.363
Faith.

00:27:29.991 --> 00:27:32.778
Faith that your story
is worth the telling.

00:27:35.163 --> 00:27:38.155
Faith that you have the
wherewithal to tell it.

00:27:38.166 --> 00:27:42.079
And faith that the carefully
woven structure that you create

00:27:42.086 --> 00:27:44.042
won't collapse beneath you.

00:27:45.590 --> 00:27:49.048
And faith that when you
get to the other side,

00:27:49.051 --> 00:27:50.632
there will be someone waiting

00:27:50.636 --> 00:27:52.877
who gives a damn about
the tale you have to tell.

00:27:52.889 --> 00:27:54.595
I'll be back in a minute.

00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:58.012
Ilke Whitman, I admit I worship
at the shrine of formal construction.

00:27:58.019 --> 00:28:02.103
But like Conrad, I confess that I
have a secret sharer in my work.

00:28:02.857 --> 00:28:05.644
My double, my other self.

00:28:05.651 --> 00:28:09.439
I am haunted by this malignant,
remorseless shadow...

00:28:30.801 --> 00:28:32.166
Grady.

00:28:36.098 --> 00:28:37.098
Grady.

00:28:41.687 --> 00:28:43.268
You had another one
again, didn't you?

00:28:45.316 --> 00:28:46.476
Is the thing...

00:28:49.737 --> 00:28:51.022
Is it over?

00:28:51.656 --> 00:28:53.521
Almost. Wanna sit up?

00:28:59.163 --> 00:29:00.278
What's wrong?

00:29:01.666 --> 00:29:03.782
Nothing, I just twisted...

00:29:07.338 --> 00:29:09.374
Sara, there's something
I've gotta tell you.

00:29:10.383 --> 00:29:11.793
Something hard.

00:29:15.763 --> 00:29:18.300
Stand up, then. I'm too old for all
this rolling around on the floor.

00:29:18.307 --> 00:29:19.467
Give me a hand?

00:29:31.904 --> 00:29:33.314
Well, this evening... don't.

00:29:34.824 --> 00:29:36.405
I know what you're gonna say.

00:29:36.409 --> 00:29:38.695
I don't think you do know
what I'm gonna say, Sara.

00:29:38.703 --> 00:29:41.945
You love Emily. Of course you love Emily.
She's young, she's beautiful.

00:29:41.956 --> 00:29:44.242
She's your wife.
You have to stay with her.

00:29:44.250 --> 00:29:46.290
But I don't have a choice.
Emily left me.

00:29:47.503 --> 00:29:50.461
She'll come back.
That's why I'm going to...

00:29:52.216 --> 00:29:53.547
To not have this baby.

00:29:58.639 --> 00:29:59.845
You're not gonna have it?

00:30:02.351 --> 00:30:06.185
No, there's no way.
I mean, don't you think there's no way?

00:30:13.529 --> 00:30:17.568
Well, I don't see any,
but I know what it means to you.

00:30:17.575 --> 00:30:19.236
No, you don't.
And fuck you for saying you do,

00:30:19.243 --> 00:30:21.734
and fuck you for saying
that there's no way.

00:30:21.746 --> 00:30:23.452
Because there could be a
way, Grady.

00:30:27.335 --> 00:30:29.041
They must be finishing.
We should go.

00:30:36.552 --> 00:30:37.552
Whose gun is that?

00:30:40.181 --> 00:30:42.718
A souvenir from Baltimore.

00:30:42.725 --> 00:30:44.306
It's heavy. Smells like

00:30:45.061 --> 00:30:46.301
gunpowder. Caps.

00:30:58.532 --> 00:30:59.532
Pow.

00:31:04.789 --> 00:31:05.995
You got me.

00:31:09.001 --> 00:31:10.366
I love you, Grady.

00:31:18.302 --> 00:31:20.884
Oh!
The doors made so much noise.

00:31:22.264 --> 00:31:25.131
It was so embarrassing.
They had to carry him out.

00:31:25.142 --> 00:31:27.133
Is he all right? He's fine.
He's narrating.

00:31:27.144 --> 00:31:29.305
They were going
to the men's room,

00:31:29.313 --> 00:31:31.395
but would they make it in time?

00:31:32.316 --> 00:31:35.479
Terry crabtree and James leer.

00:31:35.486 --> 00:31:38.319
Leave it to you to make that mistake.
Wait here.

00:31:46.497 --> 00:31:47.737
I need a ride.

00:31:47.748 --> 00:31:48.748
I'm your man.

00:31:59.969 --> 00:32:02.551
There's an explanation.

00:32:02.555 --> 00:32:04.675
Couldn't he have just thrown
a shoe at the poor thing?

00:32:06.475 --> 00:32:07.635
Antonia, listen...

00:32:07.643 --> 00:32:09.383
Tony. Now that I'm home.

00:32:10.730 --> 00:32:11.730
Tony,

00:32:13.399 --> 00:32:16.482
I'm sorry tonight didn't work out
the way you'd hoped to with Terry.

00:32:16.485 --> 00:32:19.101
Forget it.
Your friend is just, I don't know,

00:32:20.322 --> 00:32:21.653
into collecting weird tricks.

00:32:23.033 --> 00:32:25.866
I think he'd call it a habit.

00:32:25.870 --> 00:32:28.532
I do get the feeling he's going
through the motions a little bit.

00:32:28.539 --> 00:32:30.339
You mean because his
career is ruined and all?

00:32:31.292 --> 00:32:33.408
Jesus, is that what he told you?

00:32:33.419 --> 00:32:36.707
He said he hasn't had a
success in over five years, and

00:32:36.714 --> 00:32:39.956
everyone in New York thinks
he's kind of a loser.

00:32:41.552 --> 00:32:44.840
But he said he's sure
your book's so good that

00:32:44.847 --> 00:32:46.963
he'll be able to keep his job.

00:32:50.060 --> 00:32:51.500
Freezes up and never
has another one.

00:32:53.898 --> 00:32:55.388
You can turn here.

00:33:03.407 --> 00:33:06.820
Gotta go. I think I may
have to rescue James leer.

00:33:06.827 --> 00:33:08.818
You know, Grady, maybe

00:33:08.829 --> 00:33:11.320
you should think
about going home.

00:33:11.332 --> 00:33:13.292
You look like you need a
little rescuing yourself.

00:33:20.090 --> 00:33:21.921
Man: Hey, Grady. How are you?

00:33:39.944 --> 00:33:42.981
Can I get a double dickel on the
rocks, please? I'm right over here.

00:33:42.988 --> 00:33:43.988
Double dickel.

00:33:47.076 --> 00:33:48.486
Is that just beer?

00:33:48.494 --> 00:33:50.610
Primarily.

00:33:50.621 --> 00:33:52.452
Although I gather that the two
of you staged a little raid

00:33:52.456 --> 00:33:54.196
on the crabtree pharmacopoeia.

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:56.581
Grady: So where is everybody?

00:33:56.585 --> 00:33:58.746
Well, Sara and Walter declined.
I guess they just wanted

00:33:58.754 --> 00:34:00.514
to go home and curl up
on the couch with poe.

00:34:06.595 --> 00:34:08.506
Jesus, he's out. He has a book.

00:34:09.765 --> 00:34:11.972
I know.
He started it in fall semester.

00:34:11.976 --> 00:34:13.307
Finished it winter break.

00:34:17.106 --> 00:34:18.596
So is he any good?

00:34:19.859 --> 00:34:21.224
No, not yet he isn't.

00:34:21.235 --> 00:34:23.521
Well, I'm gonna read it anyway.

00:34:23.529 --> 00:34:26.692
Oh, crabs, come on, will ya? He's one
of my students, for Christ's sakes.

00:34:26.699 --> 00:34:28.155
Besides, I'm not sure if
he's, uh...

00:34:28.158 --> 00:34:29.819
He is.

00:34:29.827 --> 00:34:32.159
I'm sure. Take my word for it.
I see myself in him.

00:34:32.162 --> 00:34:36.030
Oh, I'm sure you do, but it's a
little more complicated than that.

00:34:36.041 --> 00:34:38.032
Besides,
he's a little scattered right now.

00:34:38.043 --> 00:34:40.659
He almost did something
really stupid tonight.

00:34:40.671 --> 00:34:43.458
I don't think he needs sexual confusion
to mix up the stew a little more.

00:34:43.465 --> 00:34:45.080
On the contrary,
I think it might be just the ticket.

00:34:45.092 --> 00:34:46.798
Double dickel on the rocks.

00:34:47.970 --> 00:34:49.176
"Oola"?

00:34:51.348 --> 00:34:52.348
Terry: Thanks, oola.

00:34:56.103 --> 00:34:57.138
Cheers.

00:34:57.146 --> 00:34:59.137
Cheers.

00:35:00.441 --> 00:35:02.306
Oh, my goodness.
Do you see what I see?

00:35:03.193 --> 00:35:05.479
Look there. Let's go. You first.

00:35:08.324 --> 00:35:10.485
President of the James
brown hair club for men.

00:35:11.368 --> 00:35:13.905
He's a boxer. A flyweight.

00:35:13.913 --> 00:35:16.950
No, no, he's a jockey.
His name is Curtis, Curtis hardapple.

00:35:16.957 --> 00:35:18.322
Not Curtis.

00:35:18.334 --> 00:35:20.074
Okay then, Vernon.
Vernon hardapple.

00:35:20.085 --> 00:35:23.873
The scars are from a horse.
He fell during a race. He got trampled.

00:35:23.881 --> 00:35:25.212
He's addicted to painkillers.

00:35:25.215 --> 00:35:26.295
Yeah, he can't even piss
standing up anymore.

00:35:26.300 --> 00:35:28.165
Lives with his mother.
That's right.

00:35:28.177 --> 00:35:30.839
And he's got a younger
brother who's a...

00:35:30.846 --> 00:35:33.679
Who's a groom named claudelle.
Yeah.

00:35:33.682 --> 00:35:35.513
And his mother blames Vernon
for claudelle's death.

00:35:35.517 --> 00:35:36.517
Great!

00:35:37.394 --> 00:35:39.225
Because... because...

00:35:39.229 --> 00:35:40.560
Because... because why?

00:35:43.150 --> 00:35:46.313
James: He was killed when a
gangster named Freddy nostrils

00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:47.856
tried to shoot his
favorite horse.

00:35:49.740 --> 00:35:51.526
Claudelle took the
bullet himself.

00:35:53.077 --> 00:35:55.739
Vernon, over there,

00:35:57.247 --> 00:35:58.908
was in on the hit.

00:36:01.710 --> 00:36:02.870
That was good.

00:36:03.712 --> 00:36:06.419
Yeah,
he heard everything we said.

00:36:06.423 --> 00:36:08.880
Come on, teach.
I want you to dance with me.

00:36:10.052 --> 00:36:11.292
No. Come on.

00:36:16.350 --> 00:36:18.261
So I've been rereading
arsonist's daughter.

00:36:20.437 --> 00:36:22.348
It's so beautiful, Grady.

00:36:23.816 --> 00:36:25.272
It's so natural.

00:36:26.443 --> 00:36:29.685
It's like all of your
sentences always existed,

00:36:29.697 --> 00:36:32.257
just waiting up there in style
heaven for you to fetch them down.

00:36:33.951 --> 00:36:35.361
I thank you.

00:36:35.369 --> 00:36:37.610
And I love the inscription
you wrote to me.

00:36:37.621 --> 00:36:39.907
Only I'm not quite the downy
innocent you think I am.

00:36:41.125 --> 00:36:42.740
I hope that's not true.

00:36:44.294 --> 00:36:46.410
We need all the downy
innocents we can get.

00:36:48.257 --> 00:36:50.543
J and it's time to go

00:36:51.593 --> 00:36:54.801
j I need your love so bad

00:36:56.515 --> 00:36:59.598
what this boy could use is a
nice, tall Coca-Cola.

00:37:01.353 --> 00:37:03.389
Let me help. No, we got him.
We got him.

00:37:03.397 --> 00:37:05.809
I'll meet you two at the car.
Oh, I see.

00:37:05.816 --> 00:37:08.398
All right.
Well, give me the keys to the trunk.

00:37:08.402 --> 00:37:10.609
I gotta get my
property out of there.

00:37:10.612 --> 00:37:12.728
The trunk's a little sticky, crabs.
I gotta do it.

00:37:13.699 --> 00:37:14.734
Whatever.

00:37:16.243 --> 00:37:19.406
Professor Tripp.

00:37:19.413 --> 00:37:21.870
Hannah, when you get James
back to his apartment,

00:37:21.874 --> 00:37:24.490
make sure he's all right
before you leave, okay?

00:37:24.501 --> 00:37:27.163
I would if I knew
where I was taking him.

00:37:27.171 --> 00:37:29.958
Hannah, are you telling me you
don't know where James leer lives?

00:37:29.965 --> 00:37:32.456
Some apartment somewhere.
I've never seen it.

00:37:32.468 --> 00:37:34.004
That strikes me as very odd.

00:37:34.011 --> 00:37:36.127
Well, James is odd.

00:37:36.138 --> 00:37:39.050
I know his aunt lives in sewickley heights.
I dropped him there once.

00:37:39.058 --> 00:37:40.673
Come to think of it,
it wasn't even his aunt's house.

00:37:40.684 --> 00:37:41.924
He said she worked
there or something.

00:37:41.935 --> 00:37:43.641
I don't remember.
I need my knapsack.

00:37:45.147 --> 00:37:47.729
What's he saying?

00:37:47.733 --> 00:37:51.191
His bag. You know that ugly green
thing he's always carrying around?

00:37:51.195 --> 00:37:52.355
He must've left it inside.

00:37:54.198 --> 00:37:57.235
Aw, shit. He left it at thaw.
The auditorium.

00:37:57.242 --> 00:37:58.482
Knapsack!

00:37:59.369 --> 00:38:01.280
All right.
Let him crash at my house.

00:38:01.288 --> 00:38:02.698
Hannah: Where should I put him?

00:38:02.706 --> 00:38:04.742
In the shape that he's in,
you could stand him up in the garage

00:38:04.750 --> 00:38:07.617
next to the snow shovels
and he'd be all right.

00:38:12.841 --> 00:38:14.832
Grady, if you wanna talk later,

00:38:14.843 --> 00:38:15.878
I'll be up.

00:38:24.520 --> 00:38:26.806
Hey, guy! Tripp, the trunk.
You're killing me.

00:38:26.814 --> 00:38:28.414
I'm gonna get it, all right”?
Killin' me!

00:38:35.572 --> 00:38:38.655
Man: You drivin' this car?
Excuse me?

00:38:38.659 --> 00:38:41.446
This 1966 maroon
Ford galaxy 500.

00:38:41.453 --> 00:38:43.614
You drivin' this car?
This is my car.

00:38:43.622 --> 00:38:45.613
Bullshit!
It's mine, motherfucker!

00:38:45.624 --> 00:38:47.205
I'm afraid you're mistaken.

00:38:47.209 --> 00:38:48.995
Bullshit! Terry: Who is that?

00:38:49.002 --> 00:38:50.867
Oh, Vernon, go home to your
mother, will you?

00:38:52.714 --> 00:38:53.920
What are you lookin' at?

00:38:53.924 --> 00:38:54.964
I'm lookin' at you, fella.

00:38:56.135 --> 00:38:58.672
Hit it, will you?
Come on, killjoy, go!

00:38:59.555 --> 00:39:01.011
Can we go now, den mother?

00:39:01.014 --> 00:39:02.629
What's with you?

00:39:02.641 --> 00:39:05.678
I wonder. Come on, crabs.
The kid was comatose.

00:39:05.686 --> 00:39:08.052
Who started that?
I was trying to calm him down.

00:39:08.063 --> 00:39:10.600
Oh, yeah, you calmed him
down, Dr. feelgood. Q: Grady!

00:39:10.607 --> 00:39:11.847
What? Hit the brakes!

00:39:14.194 --> 00:39:16.105
Stop! Hey!

00:39:16.113 --> 00:39:17.478
What's his problem?

00:39:17.489 --> 00:39:20.151
Back up!
Get out of the car! Hey!

00:39:21.702 --> 00:39:23.658
Terry: Go around, go around him.

00:39:23.662 --> 00:39:25.948
I'm stopping you!
I don't think so!

00:39:28.333 --> 00:39:29.869
Come back here!

00:39:31.003 --> 00:39:33.210
What's this?
Terry: It's a one-way, guy.

00:39:38.552 --> 00:39:40.383
Go, go, go! Whoo!

00:39:42.598 --> 00:39:44.429
Terry: Look out! He's back!

00:39:47.644 --> 00:39:49.244
Now what?
Terry: You owe him a book, too?

00:39:50.647 --> 00:39:51.927
You could always drive over him.

00:40:02.534 --> 00:40:03.774
What the hell was that?

00:40:05.787 --> 00:40:07.778
I just got my hood jumped on.

00:40:19.551 --> 00:40:21.132
Wait here. I'll be right back.

00:40:21.136 --> 00:40:22.136
Where would we go?

00:40:38.195 --> 00:40:39.651
Hold on a second.

00:40:45.577 --> 00:40:46.987
Professor Tripp.

00:40:50.457 --> 00:40:52.573
I guess you're here
for the backpack.

00:40:52.584 --> 00:40:54.620
It's traxler. Sam.

00:40:59.341 --> 00:41:02.048
I saw the manuscript inside,
so when you showed up I figured...

00:41:07.891 --> 00:41:11.054
Grady: The love parade.
So it was true.

00:41:11.061 --> 00:41:13.143
The little prick had
finished his book.

00:41:13.146 --> 00:41:15.728
Is it good? I don't know.
It might be.

00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:32.492
So there it was.
Somewhere in the night,

00:41:32.499 --> 00:41:35.536
a Manhattan book editor was
prowling the streets of Pittsburgh,

00:41:36.753 --> 00:41:38.038
best-selling author at his side,

00:41:39.089 --> 00:41:40.670
dead dog in his trunk.

00:41:42.259 --> 00:41:43.840
Say, professor Tripp.

00:41:43.844 --> 00:41:45.960
Is all that stuff true
about errol Flynn?

00:41:47.055 --> 00:41:49.717
How he used to put
paprika on his dick

00:41:51.184 --> 00:41:53.721
to make it, you know, like,

00:41:55.230 --> 00:41:57.562
more stimulating for the chick?

00:42:00.777 --> 00:42:03.189
Christ, traxler,
how the hell should I know?

00:42:03.196 --> 00:42:05.027
You're reading his
biography, aren't you?

00:42:07.451 --> 00:42:08.451
Oh.

00:42:11.788 --> 00:42:14.746
No, it's true. He used to rub
all sorts of things on it.

00:42:16.001 --> 00:42:19.334
Salad dressing, ground lamb.

00:42:22.341 --> 00:42:23.341
Sick.

00:42:26.845 --> 00:42:29.052
Grady: Whenever I wondered
what Sara saw in me,

00:42:30.432 --> 00:42:33.469
and I wondered more than once,

00:42:33.477 --> 00:42:36.014
I always came back to the
fact that she loved to read.

00:42:36.021 --> 00:42:38.854
She read everything,
every spare moment.

00:42:38.857 --> 00:42:40.939
She was a junkie for
the printed word.

00:42:41.902 --> 00:42:44.188
And lucky for me,

00:42:44.196 --> 00:42:46.187
I manufactured her
drug of choice.

00:42:47.657 --> 00:42:49.113
Traxler: Is that your wife?

00:42:50.243 --> 00:42:51.949
No, my wife's out of town.

00:42:56.124 --> 00:42:57.955
What exactly are we doing here,

00:42:58.502 --> 00:42:59.867
professor Tripp?

00:43:01.380 --> 00:43:02.380
Taking the long way home.

00:43:13.850 --> 00:43:15.340
Take it easy, professor Tripp.

00:43:15.352 --> 00:43:16.352
Thanks for the ride.

00:45:12.177 --> 00:45:15.715
Grady: I told myself I needed to
put everything aside for the moment.

00:45:15.722 --> 00:45:17.508
Emily, Sara,
the purloined jacket,

00:45:17.516 --> 00:45:20.929
and the dead dog,
and work on my book.

00:45:20.936 --> 00:45:22.767
It started out as a small book.

00:45:26.900 --> 00:45:30.939
Probably about,
oh, 250, 300 pages.

00:45:36.243 --> 00:45:38.279
It had gotten a little
larger in scope.

00:45:47.462 --> 00:45:50.499
And the ending,
it kept getting further away.

00:45:55.929 --> 00:45:58.011
But the ending was there.
I knew it.

00:45:59.683 --> 00:46:01.014
I could almost see it.

00:46:08.984 --> 00:46:11.817
James? I'm okay.

00:46:13.446 --> 00:46:15.027
I just lost my balance.

00:46:15.949 --> 00:46:17.405
I put you on the floor.

00:46:19.786 --> 00:46:22.368
Oh. Thank you.

00:46:22.372 --> 00:46:24.613
I thought you might swallow
your tongue or something.

00:46:27.877 --> 00:46:29.357
I guess you must really miss
her, huh?

00:46:29.879 --> 00:46:32.871
Hmm? Oh, this. No.

00:46:34.175 --> 00:46:37.542
No, I just write in this.
This wasn't Emily's.

00:46:37.554 --> 00:46:40.762
I guess there's probably
a story behind that.

00:46:40.765 --> 00:46:43.131
There is,
but it's not very interesting.

00:46:48.732 --> 00:46:52.020
Is all of that single spaced?

00:46:53.653 --> 00:46:55.860
I'm afraid so, yeah.

00:46:55.864 --> 00:46:58.401
That's a really big
book you're writing.

00:46:58.408 --> 00:47:01.195
Wow. Hannah always swore
you were working, but...

00:47:03.330 --> 00:47:05.537
But”? Nothing.

00:47:05.540 --> 00:47:09.032
It's just... it's been a while
since arsonist's daughter,

00:47:09.044 --> 00:47:11.456
and some people,
some of the kids in workshop thought

00:47:12.422 --> 00:47:14.504
maybe you were...

00:47:14.507 --> 00:47:15.507
Washed up?

00:47:16.384 --> 00:47:17.384
Blocked.

00:47:19.095 --> 00:47:20.655
Well, I don't believe
in writer's block.

00:47:22.682 --> 00:47:24.388
No kidding.

00:47:26.144 --> 00:47:27.475
You want me to get that?

00:47:27.479 --> 00:47:28.935
Please. Could you?

00:47:28.938 --> 00:47:30.098
Glasses.

00:47:30.565 --> 00:47:31.600
Thank you.

00:47:36.237 --> 00:47:37.443
Hello?

00:47:44.579 --> 00:47:45.579
He didn't give his name.

00:47:46.289 --> 00:47:47.904
Who? The guy on the phone.

00:47:49.626 --> 00:47:51.162
Well, what did he want?

00:47:51.169 --> 00:47:53.330
He wanted to know if a
Grady Tripp lived here

00:47:53.338 --> 00:47:56.922
and drove a dark maroon 1966 Ford
galaxy 500 with black interior.

00:47:57.592 --> 00:47:58.707
Well, what'd you tell him?

00:47:58.718 --> 00:47:59.718
Yes.

00:48:01.554 --> 00:48:03.510
Oh, good, James.

00:48:03.515 --> 00:48:05.115
Well, I just thought maybe...

00:48:05.934 --> 00:48:06.934
Good morning, boys.

00:48:10.772 --> 00:48:11.978
Good morning, James.

00:48:12.899 --> 00:48:13.899
Good morning.

00:48:14.818 --> 00:48:16.774
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.

00:48:16.778 --> 00:48:18.268
I'm gonna take a shower.

00:48:23.118 --> 00:48:24.483
Professor Tripp? Hmm?

00:48:25.912 --> 00:48:27.448
How did I get here last night?

00:48:27.455 --> 00:48:29.867
No one knows where you
live, James.

00:48:29.874 --> 00:48:31.284
Hannah thought
you'd like my couch.

00:48:33.086 --> 00:48:35.122
And before that,
did I do anything?

00:48:36.214 --> 00:48:38.250
I mean, did I do anything bad?

00:48:39.968 --> 00:48:43.256
Well, James, you did shoot the head
of the english department's dog

00:48:44.431 --> 00:48:46.513
and steal his most prized
piece of memorabilia.

00:49:15.378 --> 00:49:16.378
Aw, shit.

00:49:17.380 --> 00:49:19.211
Do yourself a favor. Hide.

00:49:25.180 --> 00:49:26.465
Good morning. Good morning.

00:49:31.895 --> 00:49:34.056
Professor Tripp? That's right.

00:49:34.063 --> 00:49:35.894
I understand you
attended an event

00:49:35.899 --> 00:49:39.232
at Sara and Walter
gaskell's house last night.

00:49:39.235 --> 00:49:40.896
Yeah, what's this all
about, anyway?

00:49:40.904 --> 00:49:44.021
Somebody pulled a b&e
on Dr. gaskell's closet,

00:49:44.032 --> 00:49:45.943
and the dog's missing.

00:49:45.950 --> 00:49:49.738
I was just wondering if you saw
someone who seemed suspicious maybe.

00:49:49.746 --> 00:49:53.614
I wouldn't say there was
anybody particularly suspicious.

00:49:53.625 --> 00:49:56.662
About this kid,
student of yours, leer?

00:49:56.669 --> 00:49:58.580
James leer?
You wouldn't happen to know

00:49:58.588 --> 00:50:00.499
how I could get in touch with
him, would you?

00:50:02.550 --> 00:50:04.586
I think I have his
number on campus.

00:50:05.553 --> 00:50:07.168
That's all right.
We'll find him.

00:50:07.889 --> 00:50:09.049
Morning.

00:50:09.057 --> 00:50:10.263
You have a good one.

00:50:16.105 --> 00:50:19.518
There you are.
I thought we were going to talk.

00:50:19.526 --> 00:50:21.446
Well, I was...
James: Professor Tripp?

00:50:22.362 --> 00:50:25.229
I heard what he said.

00:50:25.240 --> 00:50:27.231
Terry: Hey, Tripp!
What time's breakfast?

00:50:27.242 --> 00:50:30.234
What do we do now?
Just one minute. Hello?

00:50:30.245 --> 00:50:32.907
Sara: Grady? Sara.

00:50:32.914 --> 00:50:35.576
Thank god you're there.
You won't believe what's happened.

00:50:36.501 --> 00:50:38.412
Could you hold on just a
minute, honey?

00:50:47.720 --> 00:50:49.005
Sure, James.

00:50:49.013 --> 00:50:50.719
Where exactly are we going?

00:50:50.723 --> 00:50:54.136
Well, there's a few things
I've got to do today.

00:50:54.894 --> 00:50:55.974
See my wife...

00:50:55.979 --> 00:50:56.979
The one that left you?

00:50:58.064 --> 00:50:59.349
Yes, that's the one...

00:50:59.357 --> 00:51:03.441
Ow! Oh, shit!
Son of a bitch! Whoa.

00:51:03.444 --> 00:51:05.435
Ooh, you're bleeding,
professor Tripp.

00:51:06.781 --> 00:51:08.146
No shit, James.

00:51:14.372 --> 00:51:17.159
So where exactly do you
live, James?

00:51:17.166 --> 00:51:20.124
Apparently,
not even Hannah green has a clue

00:51:20.128 --> 00:51:22.164
as to the location
of your apartment.

00:51:23.006 --> 00:51:24.416
I got kicked out.

00:51:25.633 --> 00:51:28.420
Well, not exactly kicked out.
I was asked to leave.

00:51:29.637 --> 00:51:31.719
I guess there's
probably a story there.

00:51:31.723 --> 00:51:33.588
There is,
but it's not very interesting.

00:51:35.810 --> 00:51:37.266
So where are you staying?

00:51:37.937 --> 00:51:39.177
At the...

00:51:40.732 --> 00:51:42.347
The, uh, bus station.

00:51:45.361 --> 00:51:47.943
It's not so bad.
I know the night janitor,

00:51:47.947 --> 00:51:49.787
and there's a broken
locker I can put my stuff.

00:51:52.535 --> 00:51:57.029
Jesus, James.
I mean, uh, for how long?

00:51:57.040 --> 00:51:59.702
A couple of weeks. That's why...

00:51:59.709 --> 00:52:01.495
That's why I had the gun.
For protection.

00:52:03.338 --> 00:52:04.953
You should've told someone.

00:52:04.964 --> 00:52:06.329
Who?

00:52:06.341 --> 00:52:08.172
I don't know. Me?

00:52:13.806 --> 00:52:17.765
Grady: James' story was
the stuff of bad fiction,

00:52:17.769 --> 00:52:20.556
and under other circumstances,
I might've wondered

00:52:20.563 --> 00:52:23.646
where the page ended with
him and real life began.

00:52:23.650 --> 00:52:25.515
But I had other
things on my mind.

00:52:32.867 --> 00:52:35.074
The gaskell house
looked deserted,

00:52:35.078 --> 00:52:38.161
which figured since wordfest
was in full swing on campus.

00:52:38.164 --> 00:52:40.450
What are we... you ought to
ease off on that stuff, James.

00:52:40.458 --> 00:52:42.369
It's pretty acidic.

00:52:42.377 --> 00:52:45.084
I can't help myself.
I don't know what's the matter with me.

00:52:45.088 --> 00:52:47.545
James, you're hung over.

00:52:47.548 --> 00:52:49.108
What do you think's
the matter with you?

00:52:52.428 --> 00:52:53.713
I'll be right back.

00:53:00.979 --> 00:53:04.642
Grady: I knew I needed to have
a heart-to-heart with Sara.

00:53:04.649 --> 00:53:07.857
But until then,
I'd just make a little gesture.

00:53:13.491 --> 00:53:14.981
Feeling guilty?

00:53:17.453 --> 00:53:20.160
I can't believe you hung up on
me, you dick.

00:53:20.164 --> 00:53:21.950
Sara, I am so sorry
about this morning.

00:53:23.167 --> 00:53:24.452
There was a lot going on.

00:53:24.460 --> 00:53:26.621
Walter's a basket case.

00:53:26.629 --> 00:53:28.790
Someone stole Marilyn's
jacket last night.

00:53:29.757 --> 00:53:30.757
And poe's missing.

00:53:31.009 --> 00:53:32.294
Oh, I heard.

00:53:32.301 --> 00:53:34.041
You heard? How?

00:53:34.053 --> 00:53:38.217
I, uh... a 12-year-old policeman
came by my house this morning.

00:53:38.224 --> 00:53:40.624
Did you confess? Your fingerprints
were all over the bedroom.

00:53:41.477 --> 00:53:42.762
Really? That was fast.

00:53:43.813 --> 00:53:45.474
I'm joking. Hello!

00:53:45.481 --> 00:53:48.314
Oh, right, right, right.

00:53:48.317 --> 00:53:51.980
Look, about last night, there's
something I have to talk to you about.

00:53:52.697 --> 00:53:53.697
Okay.

00:53:57.910 --> 00:53:58.945
Uh... I...

00:53:59.954 --> 00:54:01.819
Well, I, um...

00:54:04.333 --> 00:54:07.450
I want to be with you.

00:54:09.756 --> 00:54:12.623
Gee, Grady,
that sounded so heartfelt.

00:54:12.633 --> 00:54:14.794
No, really, Sara, I do.
Honest. I...

00:54:14.802 --> 00:54:16.713
No, I believe you
want to be with me,

00:54:16.721 --> 00:54:19.633
but this is not good enough.

00:54:19.640 --> 00:54:21.130
I know that.
I mean, I know what's at stake here.

00:54:21.142 --> 00:54:23.758
No, I don't think you do.

00:54:23.770 --> 00:54:25.730
Besides, it doesn't matter.
I haven't decided yet.

00:54:26.355 --> 00:54:27.355
About the baby?

00:54:27.774 --> 00:54:29.730
That, and you.

00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:33.146
I'm not gonna draw you a
map, Grady.

00:54:33.154 --> 00:54:35.315
Times like these,
you have to do your own navigating.

00:54:42.997 --> 00:54:45.830
Why is your car over there?
And who's that sitting in it?

00:54:46.542 --> 00:54:47.998
James leer.

00:54:49.378 --> 00:54:50.993
What's he doing here?

00:54:51.005 --> 00:54:52.870
I'm sort of helping him
through some issues.

00:54:55.259 --> 00:54:56.749
Isn't he lucky?

00:55:07.313 --> 00:55:08.633
She seemed to take
it pretty well.

00:55:10.399 --> 00:55:13.516
Yeah, yeah, well,
the moment didn't actually present itself.

00:55:16.656 --> 00:55:18.317
You feel like taking a
ride, James?

00:55:18.324 --> 00:55:19.404
Yes.

00:55:23.496 --> 00:55:24.861
Humboldt county?

00:55:26.415 --> 00:55:27.450
Maybe.

00:55:28.417 --> 00:55:30.123
My father,
he gets it from his doctor.

00:55:31.212 --> 00:55:32.497
Glaucoma?

00:55:32.505 --> 00:55:33.585
Colon cancer.

00:55:34.882 --> 00:55:37.669
Jesus, James. Wow.

00:55:37.677 --> 00:55:40.669
It's a bit of a scandal.
My parents live in a small town.

00:55:40.680 --> 00:55:42.887
Where's that? Carvel.

00:55:42.890 --> 00:55:45.131
Carvel? Where's carvel?

00:55:45.143 --> 00:55:46.143
Outside Scranton.

00:55:47.019 --> 00:55:48.019
I've never heard of it.

00:55:50.398 --> 00:55:53.890
It's a hell hole.
Three motels and a mannequin factory.

00:55:53.901 --> 00:55:56.483
My dad worked
there for 35 years.

00:55:56.487 --> 00:55:58.047
Your father worked
in mannequin factory?

00:55:59.323 --> 00:56:02.611
Seitz plastics.
It's where he met my mom.

00:56:02.618 --> 00:56:04.779
She was a fry cook
in the cafeteria.

00:56:05.705 --> 00:56:07.445
Before that,
she'd been a dancer.

00:56:07.456 --> 00:56:09.037
What kind of dancer?

00:56:10.543 --> 00:56:13.535
Whatever kind they
wanted her to be.

00:56:13.546 --> 00:56:16.413
Didn't you say that your
mom went to catholic school?

00:56:18.843 --> 00:56:21.175
When we fall, we fall hard.

00:56:21.179 --> 00:56:23.966
J' I really love
to watch them roll

00:56:26.684 --> 00:56:30.302
j' no longer riding
on the merry-go-round

00:56:30.313 --> 00:56:33.313
I thought you were the guy that didn't
like to lose control of his emotions.

00:56:33.983 --> 00:56:36.520
Maybe I just needed the
moment to present itself.

00:56:36.527 --> 00:56:38.438
J I just had toletitgo j

00:56:41.240 --> 00:56:43.947
mmm. Mmm!

00:56:45.077 --> 00:56:46.692
Grady: I had come to
the childhood home

00:56:46.704 --> 00:56:50.242
of my soon-to-be ex-wife
to set things straight,

00:56:50.249 --> 00:56:52.706
to say something that would
end things on the right note,

00:56:52.710 --> 00:56:54.996
to make Emily feel
better about it all...

00:56:55.004 --> 00:56:57.040
Or maybe to make me feel better.

00:57:00.009 --> 00:57:02.625
Truthfully,
I wasn't really sure why I was there.

00:57:03.930 --> 00:57:05.610
Someone jumped on your
car with their butt.

00:57:06.015 --> 00:57:07.596
How can you tell?

00:57:07.600 --> 00:57:09.181
Well, you can see the
outline of a butt.

00:57:10.561 --> 00:57:13.678
You want one? They're incredible.
Incredible.

00:57:13.689 --> 00:57:15.350
Smoke the rest of that
joint, James,

00:57:15.358 --> 00:57:17.474
you can start
chewing on the box.

00:57:19.487 --> 00:57:20.977
Hey, maybe she didn't come here.

00:57:20.988 --> 00:57:21.988
She came here.

00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:25.235
We'll just wait.

00:57:25.243 --> 00:57:28.827
In the meantime, I'm gonna need
you to shimmy right through there.

00:57:31.457 --> 00:57:32.867
Relax, James.

00:57:32.875 --> 00:57:36.038
Emily hasn't used her keys
since she was 15 years old.

00:57:36.045 --> 00:57:38.787
Besides, your hips aren't
much bigger than hers.

00:57:38.798 --> 00:57:42.006
It's not that.
Just reminded me of what's in the car.

00:57:46.514 --> 00:57:47.720
In the trunk?

00:57:50.726 --> 00:57:52.182
Oh, right, right.

00:57:53.562 --> 00:57:55.268
Let's try not to think about
that, okay?

00:58:17.461 --> 00:58:18.871
Thank you. Mmm-hmm.

00:58:21.549 --> 00:58:23.164
Feels really good in here.

00:58:23.551 --> 00:58:25.507
Yeah, I know.

00:58:27.305 --> 00:58:30.843
It's the kind of house you like to
wake up in on Christmas morning.

00:58:35.229 --> 00:58:37.936
I'll be right back.
Uh, make yourself at home.

00:58:38.941 --> 00:58:40.852
I'm gonna make a phone call.

00:58:47.325 --> 00:58:48.325
Ah.

00:58:53.080 --> 00:58:54.080
Mmm.

00:59:05.092 --> 00:59:07.799
Man on TV: There's no such thing
as a good influence, Mr. gray.

00:59:07.803 --> 00:59:09.339
All influence is immoral.

00:59:09.347 --> 00:59:10.962
Man: Why?

00:59:10.973 --> 00:59:13.055
Because the aim of life
is self-development,

00:59:13.059 --> 00:59:15.641
to realize one's
nature perfectly.

00:59:15.644 --> 00:59:17.475
That's what we're here for.

00:59:17.480 --> 00:59:20.222
A man should live out his
life fully and completely,

00:59:20.232 --> 00:59:22.939
give form to every feeling,
reality to every dream.

00:59:24.236 --> 00:59:26.568
Grady: Sitting there
among her things,

00:59:26.572 --> 00:59:30.986
I was reminded I didn't
really know Emily at all.

00:59:30.993 --> 00:59:33.484
Even though we had lived
together as man and wife,

00:59:33.496 --> 00:59:36.909
it was when I left the house,
when I was with Sara...

00:59:36.916 --> 00:59:38.872
That I felt like I was home.

00:59:38.876 --> 00:59:41.458
Woman: University.
Chancellor, please.

00:59:41.462 --> 00:59:43.453
Man on TV: There's only one
way to get rid of a temptation,

00:59:43.464 --> 00:59:45.250
and that's to yield to it.

00:59:45.257 --> 00:59:48.841
Resist it and the soul
grows sick with longing

00:59:48.844 --> 00:59:50.484
for the things it has
forbidden to itself.

00:59:51.055 --> 00:59:52.335
Thank you.

01:00:09.365 --> 01:00:11.731
Sara on phone: Hello?
Sara? Hi, it's Grady.

01:00:11.742 --> 01:00:14.404
Where are you?

01:00:14.412 --> 01:00:17.199
Kinship. Listen, Sara, there's
something I gotta talk to you about.

01:00:17.206 --> 01:00:18.821
You're in kinship.

01:00:18.833 --> 01:00:20.369
Yes, but that's not
why I'm calling you.

01:00:20.376 --> 01:00:22.788
You're with Emily. What?

01:00:22.795 --> 01:00:25.411
No, no, no. There's no one here.
I'm just, uh...

01:00:25.423 --> 01:00:27.789
Doing a little dusting?

01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:29.882
Woman on TV: J good mornin'

01:00:29.885 --> 01:00:31.625
j we've danced the
whole night through

01:00:31.637 --> 01:00:34.720
j& good mornin'
good mornin' to you

01:00:34.723 --> 01:00:38.807
j good mornin' good mornin'

01:00:38.811 --> 01:00:41.723
j it's great to stay
up late good mornin'

01:00:41.730 --> 01:00:46.895
Sara, I am not here...
I'm not here to, uh, reconcile with Emily.

01:00:46.902 --> 01:00:49.018
It doesn't matter.

01:00:49.029 --> 01:00:52.066
How you choose to live your
own life is your business.

01:00:52.074 --> 01:00:54.907
J to say good night
so good mornin'

01:00:54.910 --> 01:00:58.027
j good mornin' sunbeams
will soon smile through j

01:00:58.956 --> 01:01:00.912
Sara, you don't understand.

01:01:00.916 --> 01:01:04.500
Probably not,
but I have something to say.

01:01:04.503 --> 01:01:06.960
And I want you to listen
carefully, Grady.

01:01:08.048 --> 01:01:09.754
Yes.

01:01:09.758 --> 01:01:12.625
I can't wait for
you because if I do,

01:01:12.636 --> 01:01:15.503
I could end up waiting
forever, so...

01:01:15.514 --> 01:01:18.005
I'm going to make this
decision on my own.

01:01:19.560 --> 01:01:21.175
Good-bye, Grady.

01:01:22.897 --> 01:01:24.933
Mickey Rooney on TV:
Makin' a comeback.

01:01:24.940 --> 01:01:27.602
Gee, it must be terrible
to be a has-been.

01:01:27.610 --> 01:01:30.101
Judy garland: Don't talk like that.
It scares me.

01:01:31.447 --> 01:01:33.483
We golta work harder.
Make a lotta dough...

01:01:36.452 --> 01:01:38.943
Hello. Hi.

01:01:40.331 --> 01:01:41.787
Ow.

01:01:41.790 --> 01:01:43.655
It's infected.
I can clean it up.

01:01:43.667 --> 01:01:46.579
But then you need to see someone
who knows what he's doing.

01:01:46.587 --> 01:01:51.081
How would you like some hot chocolate
and fresh cookies to go with it?

01:01:51.091 --> 01:01:53.047
That sounds nice. Thank you.
You're welcome.

01:01:56.889 --> 01:01:59.847
This is really
good hot chocolate.

01:01:59.850 --> 01:02:01.490
Hank: He's one of your
students, this boy?

01:02:03.062 --> 01:02:04.472
Grady: Yeah, he's a good kid.

01:02:04.480 --> 01:02:07.472
He's just a little messed up.

01:02:07.483 --> 01:02:10.225
Oh, then I'm sure he'll be
fine with the proper guidance.

01:02:10.236 --> 01:02:12.693
Woman: So, you're at the
university in Pittsburgh?

01:02:12.696 --> 01:02:15.938
James: I'm working in a steel mill
while I finish my first novel.

01:02:15.950 --> 01:02:17.360
So where's Emily, Hank?

01:02:19.328 --> 01:02:22.820
I don't know if I should
tell you that, Grady.

01:02:22.831 --> 01:02:24.867
I don't wanna stalk her.
I just wanna...

01:02:24.875 --> 01:02:26.991
I wanna tell her that I'm sorry.

01:02:27.002 --> 01:02:28.993
I'm not trying to get her back.

01:02:29.004 --> 01:02:32.417
Things haven't been right
with us for a while.

01:02:32.424 --> 01:02:35.336
Well, all I know is Emily felt
you weren't there for her,

01:02:36.387 --> 01:02:40.300
and she's felt that for a long
time, Grady.

01:02:40.307 --> 01:02:43.799
Right now, she's, uh... she's in
Philadelphia visiting Linda ashby.

01:02:46.522 --> 01:02:49.309
For Christ's sakes,
they went to Wellesley together.

01:02:50.234 --> 01:02:52.099
Linda spent a week
at your house.

01:02:52.111 --> 01:02:54.067
Oh, Linda! Oh, oh. Yes.

01:02:57.408 --> 01:02:59.148
I haven't been sleeping
a whole lot lately,

01:02:59.159 --> 01:03:00.865
and I got my editor in town.

01:03:00.869 --> 01:03:02.734
I'm trying to finish my book.

01:03:02.746 --> 01:03:05.078
Ah, right. The book.

01:03:09.128 --> 01:03:10.959
I hope it's really good, Grady.

01:03:18.387 --> 01:03:20.799
I'm having a really good
time, professor Tripp.

01:03:22.099 --> 01:03:24.340
I'm really happy for you, James.

01:03:28.397 --> 01:03:30.353
Do me a favor. Lay off my dope.

01:03:32.151 --> 01:03:33.351
That stuff's not for amateurs.

01:03:35.779 --> 01:03:38.236
You're mad at me, aren't you?

01:03:38.240 --> 01:03:41.573
You're mad because I shot
your girlfriend's dog.

01:03:41.577 --> 01:03:43.442
It wasn't her dog.
It was her husband's.

01:03:44.913 --> 01:03:46.353
Who said anything
about a girlfriend?

01:03:48.542 --> 01:03:52.251
Okay, James, I wish you hadn't
shot my girlfriend's dog,

01:03:52.254 --> 01:03:55.371
even though poe and I were not
exactly what you call simpatico,

01:03:55.382 --> 01:03:57.464
that's no reason he should've
taken two in the chest.

01:03:59.470 --> 01:04:01.381
I don't know.

01:04:01.388 --> 01:04:04.596
You just keep acting like a
goddamn spook all the time, James.

01:04:05.809 --> 01:04:06.969
Well, I guess that explains

01:04:06.977 --> 01:04:08.888
why all the kids in
workshop hate me.

01:04:09.938 --> 01:04:12.099
All the kids in
workshop hate you

01:04:12.107 --> 01:04:14.348
because right now you're
ten times the writer

01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:15.566
any one of them will ever be.

01:04:16.654 --> 01:04:18.394
My stuff stinks.

01:04:18.405 --> 01:04:21.897
You said so yourself last
night to your friend crabtree.

01:04:21.909 --> 01:04:23.570
I didn't mean it like that.

01:04:24.787 --> 01:04:26.778
And what does it
matter what I think?

01:04:26.789 --> 01:04:28.950
I mean, what does it
matter what anybody thinks?

01:04:28.957 --> 01:04:31.790
Most people don't think, James.

01:04:31.794 --> 01:04:33.455
And if they do,
it's not about writing.

01:04:35.214 --> 01:04:37.375
Books. They don't mean anything.

01:04:38.884 --> 01:04:40.215
Not to anybody.

01:04:41.970 --> 01:04:43.210
Not anymore.

01:04:44.556 --> 01:04:46.672
Arsonist"s daughter
meant something.

01:04:48.894 --> 01:04:50.054
It meant something to me.

01:04:51.480 --> 01:04:53.812
It's the reason I
came to school here.

01:04:53.816 --> 01:04:55.397
To be taught by you.

01:04:58.487 --> 01:05:01.274
It's one of the reasons I
wanted to become a writer.

01:05:03.867 --> 01:05:07.359
Well, for that, James,
if nothing else,

01:05:09.164 --> 01:05:10.620
I'm really sorry.

01:05:19.007 --> 01:05:20.372
What are we doing?

01:05:20.384 --> 01:05:22.670
I'm gonna get you a nice meal,

01:05:22.678 --> 01:05:25.260
a couple of cups of coffee,
then I'm taking you home.

01:05:25.848 --> 01:05:27.384
Take me now.

01:05:27.391 --> 01:05:28.676
What?

01:05:28.684 --> 01:05:31.221
I'm not hungry.
James, you've gotta eat.

01:05:31.228 --> 01:05:33.640
I'll get something out
of the vending machine.

01:05:33.647 --> 01:05:35.683
Vending machine?
What are you talking about?

01:05:35.691 --> 01:05:38.933
At the bus station,
they have these cheese sandwiches.

01:05:38.944 --> 01:05:41.310
They're pretty good.
It's better if you take me now.

01:05:41.321 --> 01:05:42.601
That way,
Carl won't get my spot.

01:05:44.992 --> 01:05:46.152
Carl?

01:05:47.411 --> 01:05:48.867
Never mind.

01:05:48.871 --> 01:05:51.487
James, go get us a
table, will ya?

01:05:51.498 --> 01:05:54.114
I'm not letting the most
talented writer in my class

01:05:54.126 --> 01:05:56.412
eat some week-old cheese
sandwich, okay?

01:05:58.464 --> 01:06:00.750
I'm not letting him sleep on
some bench in a bus station.

01:06:00.758 --> 01:06:03.545
So go on inside. I'll...
I'll be there in a minute.

01:06:05.846 --> 01:06:08.053
Grady: C-a-r-v-e-l.

01:06:09.266 --> 01:06:12.008
Yes, I'm sure, ma'am.
It's outside of Scranton.

01:06:13.937 --> 01:06:15.473
You have no listing.

01:06:16.732 --> 01:06:18.063
Okay, well...

01:06:19.735 --> 01:06:24.695
Lady, as we speak, I am looking at
a resident of carvel, Pennsylvania.

01:06:24.698 --> 01:06:26.529
I'm sure he'd be pretty
interested to learn

01:06:26.533 --> 01:06:28.319
that the good people
at bell Atlantic

01:06:28.327 --> 01:06:31.034
have misplaced his
entire hometown.

01:06:31.038 --> 01:06:33.450
It's not like I'm making
this up as we go...

01:06:35.834 --> 01:06:37.540
Never mind. It's my mistake.

01:07:03.737 --> 01:07:05.898
James: You want a bite?
No, thanks.

01:07:05.906 --> 01:07:08.397
That's why you're having
them, your spells.

01:07:08.867 --> 01:07:10.073
Spells?

01:07:11.245 --> 01:07:12.576
Jesus, James,
you make it sound like

01:07:12.579 --> 01:07:14.069
we're in a Tennessee
Williams play.

01:07:14.081 --> 01:07:15.116
I don't get spells.

01:07:16.959 --> 01:07:18.574
What would you call them, then?

01:07:18.585 --> 01:07:21.327
I don't know. Um... episodes.

01:07:22.422 --> 01:07:25.038
Uh-huh. I just worry about
you, that's all.

01:07:31.598 --> 01:07:33.714
You just worry about
yourself, okay?

01:07:35.936 --> 01:07:37.426
Where you going? Nowhere.

01:07:37.437 --> 01:07:40.144
You just stay here and eat.
I'll be right back.

01:07:47.781 --> 01:07:49.146
Good evening.

01:07:49.157 --> 01:07:50.772
Professor Tripp. Grady.

01:07:51.618 --> 01:07:54.655
Fred leer.
This is my wife Amanda.

01:07:54.663 --> 01:07:57.621
Well, looks like I dashed
a wonderful evening here.

01:07:57.624 --> 01:08:00.081
We were on our way to a benefit,
but as luck would have it,

01:08:00.085 --> 01:08:02.645
the club was on the way,
so we were able to put in an appearance.

01:08:04.131 --> 01:08:05.541
I just thought it
would be good for James

01:08:05.549 --> 01:08:07.414
to be with his
family this weekend.

01:08:08.844 --> 01:08:11.631
Oh, well,
of course we can understand that.

01:08:14.516 --> 01:08:18.304
Right. Okay, I guess,
uh, I'll go get James.

01:08:22.608 --> 01:08:24.098
Um...

01:08:24.109 --> 01:08:26.521
I hope you don't find this
forward, Amanda,

01:08:26.528 --> 01:08:27.859
but I wonder if I might ask.

01:08:27.863 --> 01:08:29.223
Did you ever go to
catholic school?

01:08:32.784 --> 01:08:33.819
Excuse me?

01:08:35.412 --> 01:08:36.902
I'm not going with them.

01:08:36.914 --> 01:08:39.781
Things are a little weird
for me right now, James.

01:08:39.791 --> 01:08:41.656
Things are a little weird
for me right now, too.

01:08:41.668 --> 01:08:44.205
I know, but I got my editor in
town, I gotta finish my book,

01:08:44.212 --> 01:08:46.043
and there's some extenuating
circumstances... I won't bother you.

01:08:46.048 --> 01:08:47.504
I won't even talk to you.

01:08:47.507 --> 01:08:49.987
James, like it or not,
those people out there are your parents.

01:08:50.969 --> 01:08:52.505
They're not my parents. What?

01:08:53.805 --> 01:08:55.565
They're my grandparents.
My parents are dead.

01:08:59.019 --> 01:09:01.761
James, the man is obviously your father.
You look just like him.

01:09:03.982 --> 01:09:05.643
There's a reason for that.

01:09:07.361 --> 01:09:09.147
Oh, get out of here.

01:09:09.154 --> 01:09:10.644
No. That's why she hates me.

01:09:10.656 --> 01:09:12.738
That's why she makes me
sleep in the basement.

01:09:12.741 --> 01:09:15.904
Crawl space. With the rats and
the cask of amontillado, right?

01:09:15.911 --> 01:09:17.242
Well, it's true!
They treat me like a freak!

01:09:17.245 --> 01:09:19.281
Well, you are a freak, James.

01:09:19.289 --> 01:09:20.699
All right? Welcome to the club.

01:09:20.707 --> 01:09:23.073
You don't understand.
You don't know what it's like.

01:09:23.085 --> 01:09:24.825
You're right, I don't.

01:09:24.836 --> 01:09:26.542
Don't expect me to feel sorry for
you, all right?

01:09:26.546 --> 01:09:28.582
Because I don't
know who you are.

01:09:30.217 --> 01:09:32.549
Let me ask you something, James.

01:09:32.552 --> 01:09:36.170
In the past 36 hours,
have you told me one thing that's true?

01:09:36.181 --> 01:09:37.381
One thing that comes from you?

01:09:40.352 --> 01:09:43.560
I just wanted to stay with you
for a little while, that's all.

01:09:50.779 --> 01:09:53.566
I'm a teacher, James.
I'm not a holiday inn.

01:10:01.039 --> 01:10:02.119
Thank you, professor Tripp.

01:10:20.976 --> 01:10:24.218
J old man look at my life

01:10:24.229 --> 01:10:27.687
j I'm a lot like you were

01:10:29.651 --> 01:10:32.563

j I'm a lot like you were

01:10:34.990 --> 01:10:36.446
hey!

01:10:38.160 --> 01:10:39.275
Hey.

01:10:48.295 --> 01:10:51.708
J old man look at my life

01:10:51.715 --> 01:10:55.128
j& twenty-four and
there's so much more

01:10:55.135 --> 01:10:57.797
j live alone in a paradise

01:10:57.804 --> 01:11:00.466
I that makes me think of two

01:11:01.850 --> 01:11:05.513
j love lost such a cost

01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:08.853
j give me things
that don't get lost

01:11:08.857 --> 01:11:11.644

01:11:11.651 --> 01:11:13.767
j rolling home to you j

01:11:31.838 --> 01:11:34.170
Crabtree. Jesus.

01:11:49.481 --> 01:11:50.937
Do you mind?

01:11:54.903 --> 01:11:55.983
Grady! Hey.

01:11:57.239 --> 01:11:59.776
Uh, I know I shouldn't have,

01:11:59.783 --> 01:12:03.150
but there it was just in the
open, and I couldn't resist.

01:12:03.161 --> 01:12:06.073
No, no. I just can't believe
that I left it out like this.

01:12:06.081 --> 01:12:07.241
Terry: Tripp, where are you?

01:12:07.249 --> 01:12:09.581
Has crabtree been in here?
Has he been snooping around?

01:12:09.584 --> 01:12:11.245
I don't know. Maybe.
I don't think so.

01:12:11.253 --> 01:12:13.244
Let's put this away.

01:12:13.255 --> 01:12:14.335
Terry: Tripp!

01:12:15.006 --> 01:12:16.371
Oh, shit.

01:12:16.383 --> 01:12:17.793
No. Um...

01:12:19.553 --> 01:12:22.966
Don't go. I've been
waiting all night for you.

01:12:22.973 --> 01:12:24.973
I'm really flattered, honey,
but this just isn't...

01:12:26.226 --> 01:12:30.094
I'm sorry. Am I interrupting
a teacher-student conference?

01:12:30.105 --> 01:12:32.141
No offense, Tripp. You're not
exactly the most attentive host.

01:12:32.149 --> 01:12:34.310
Well, you've been taking good
care of that, huh, crabs?

01:12:34.317 --> 01:12:36.854
Sometimes we have to improvise.

01:12:36.862 --> 01:12:38.648
Where the hell have
you been anyway?

01:12:38.655 --> 01:12:40.611
I took a drive with James leer.

01:12:41.992 --> 01:12:43.107
He popped the chancellor's
dog, didn't he?

01:12:43.118 --> 01:12:44.608
What?

01:12:44.619 --> 01:12:46.405
Yeah. First the police
thought he just ran away,

01:12:46.413 --> 01:12:48.779
but this afternoon, Dr. gaskell
found blood spots on the carpet.

01:12:48.790 --> 01:12:50.075
Oh, Jesus.

01:12:50.083 --> 01:12:51.869
Most everyone figured
it was an intruder,

01:12:51.877 --> 01:12:55.745
but right off Terry said it sounded like
something James would be messed up in.

01:12:55.755 --> 01:12:58.087
Has anybody else come up with
this brilliant deduction?

01:12:58.091 --> 01:13:00.252
Well, not yet, but they will.
It's just a matter of time.

01:13:00.260 --> 01:13:02.140
Come on. Ou don't even know James.
You don't k j

01:13:02.179 --> 01:13:03.294
who does?

01:13:03.305 --> 01:13:05.796
I do. I do now.

01:13:06.808 --> 01:13:08.639
I spent some time with him,

01:13:09.519 --> 01:13:11.305
and I read something of his.

01:13:11.313 --> 01:13:13.850
His book?
You read his book? Yes.

01:13:13.857 --> 01:13:15.722
Is it good? It's good.
It's very, very good.

01:13:16.234 --> 01:13:19.567
It's... it's true.

01:13:20.822 --> 01:13:22.733
I knew it. So where is he now?

01:13:23.825 --> 01:13:25.486
I sent him home
with his parents.

01:13:25.493 --> 01:13:27.529
What? What? His parents?

01:13:27.954 --> 01:13:29.319
Mmm-hmm.

01:13:29.331 --> 01:13:30.787
Why? Why did you do that for?

01:13:30.790 --> 01:13:32.701
Because under the circumstances,

01:13:32.709 --> 01:13:35.121
I thought it was the best
thing for him, but...

01:13:36.671 --> 01:13:39.754
I'm beginning to think maybe
it was the best thing for me.

01:13:42.677 --> 01:13:45.419
I just, uh...
I wasn't there for him.

01:13:46.056 --> 01:13:47.056
Imagine that.

01:13:49.851 --> 01:13:52.638
Hannah, don't you remember
where you took James that day?

01:13:52.646 --> 01:13:54.352
Was it his aunt's?

01:13:54.356 --> 01:13:55.766
Yes.

01:13:55.774 --> 01:13:57.560
I told you, sewickley heights.

01:13:57.567 --> 01:13:59.307
What was the address? Mmm-hmm.

01:13:59.319 --> 01:14:01.401
I don't know.
He had me drop him on a corner.

01:14:01.404 --> 01:14:03.110
Call the university.
I'm sure they know where the guy lives.

01:14:03.114 --> 01:14:04.854
Little late to call admissions.

01:14:07.869 --> 01:14:09.905
I don't know. Maybe. Hmm?

01:14:09.913 --> 01:14:12.154
God, you really have just made an
awful, stinky little mess

01:14:12.165 --> 01:14:13.871
of everything, haven't you?

01:14:17.212 --> 01:14:19.203
Is that it?

01:14:19.214 --> 01:14:20.704
Do not even think about it.

01:14:20.715 --> 01:14:22.205
Don't go near it. No, no, no.

01:14:22.217 --> 01:14:23.457
Never without your permission,

01:14:23.468 --> 01:14:25.459
but that is a lot of book.
262 Baxter drive.

01:14:27.555 --> 01:14:29.170
They're in the book.

01:14:29.182 --> 01:14:30.182
I'll drive. I'll drive.

01:14:31.351 --> 01:14:32.557
Terry: "The love parade.”

01:14:32.560 --> 01:14:34.425
I got a feeling about this.

01:14:34.437 --> 01:14:35.552
Look,
I feel this kid in my bones.

01:14:35.563 --> 01:14:37.099
Only in your bones.

01:14:40.402 --> 01:14:41.642
I've had this feeling before.

01:14:42.404 --> 01:14:43.564
Remember?

01:14:46.199 --> 01:14:47.939
It's been a long time, but...

01:14:49.911 --> 01:14:52.197
How bad is it for you, crabs?

01:14:52.205 --> 01:14:54.161
It's pretty bad.

01:14:54.165 --> 01:14:55.905
They've had enough of me.

01:14:55.917 --> 01:14:58.704
They look at me like I
don't work there anymore.

01:15:00.213 --> 01:15:03.000
I guess I just don't fit
the new corporate profile.

01:15:04.175 --> 01:15:05.756
Which is? Uh, gosh...

01:15:06.928 --> 01:15:07.963
Competence.

01:15:09.806 --> 01:15:11.592
J down on the highway

01:15:12.350 --> 01:15:13.931
j is a byway

01:15:15.228 --> 01:15:16.718
j all alone j

01:15:16.730 --> 01:15:18.186
Grady: This is it.

01:15:21.609 --> 01:15:22.940
Grady: I had no business

01:15:22.944 --> 01:15:24.980
trudging up to James
leer's parents' house

01:15:24.988 --> 01:15:26.603
in the middle of the night,

01:15:26.614 --> 01:15:28.070
not when all that
really mattered

01:15:28.074 --> 01:15:30.235
was frying to make
things right with Sara.

01:15:30.243 --> 01:15:33.610
But we had decided
to rescue James leer.

01:15:33.621 --> 01:15:35.157
I wasn't quite sure from what

01:15:35.165 --> 01:15:37.030
because I was pretty
much convinced

01:15:37.042 --> 01:15:40.705
that everything that came out of
James' mouth was basically horseshit.

01:15:40.712 --> 01:15:43.579
Yikes.
Must be two dozen windows.

01:15:43.590 --> 01:15:45.421
How are we supposed to find his?

01:15:45.425 --> 01:15:48.258
I told you. They keep him
chained in the basement.

01:15:50.805 --> 01:15:52.636
Grady: But maybe that
didn't really matter.

01:15:52.640 --> 01:15:55.803
Sometimes people just
need to be rescued.

01:15:55.810 --> 01:15:59.644
J more than glad to be unhappy

01:16:01.983 --> 01:16:04.941
j unrequited love's a bore j

01:16:07.530 --> 01:16:09.521
Rodgers and hart? Yeah.

01:16:09.532 --> 01:16:10.942
James leer. James leer.

01:16:35.517 --> 01:16:37.473
Hey.
What are you guys doing here?

01:16:37.477 --> 01:16:39.968
Shh. We're springin' you, Jimmy.
Put on some clothes.

01:16:44.234 --> 01:16:48.102
Whoa. Well, I...
I love what you've done with the place.

01:16:48.113 --> 01:16:50.024
When's captain Nemo moving in?

01:16:50.031 --> 01:16:53.899
I cannot believe that you
made fun of my bathrobe.

01:16:53.910 --> 01:16:56.071
The candelabras were
my great grandmother's.

01:16:56.079 --> 01:16:58.035
Please. Don't start with the
family history, all right?

01:16:58.039 --> 01:17:00.155
I'll leave you right here.

01:17:00.166 --> 01:17:01.952
I just want you to know I
heard everything, all right?

01:17:01.960 --> 01:17:03.075
The parents and grandparents

01:17:03.086 --> 01:17:04.997
and the whole Chinatown thing.

01:17:05.004 --> 01:17:07.290
I believe you. That's why we're here.
Now go get dressed.

01:17:09.634 --> 01:17:11.920
I mean, do you mind if I wear this
again, professor Tripp?

01:17:11.928 --> 01:17:13.793
Wear whatever you want to.

01:17:17.058 --> 01:17:19.891
He's so modest.
He's so sensitive.

01:17:19.894 --> 01:17:22.385
Tripp, why don't you
cut the kid some slack?

01:17:22.397 --> 01:17:25.560
These are all overdue library
books, every one of them.

01:17:25.567 --> 01:17:29.230
Then it looks like our Mr. leer
is facing some monster late fees.

01:17:29.237 --> 01:17:31.569
I just can't believe
all the shit he spins.

01:17:31.573 --> 01:17:34.293
Just once I'd like to know if the
little bastard's telling the truth.

01:17:34.534 --> 01:17:35.865
Hey.

01:17:36.870 --> 01:17:38.986
Check this out.

01:17:38.997 --> 01:17:41.784
"Finally, the door opened.
It was a shock to see him

01:17:41.791 --> 01:17:45.409
"shuffling into the room like an
aging prizefighter, limping, beaten."

01:17:47.046 --> 01:17:48.406
Does that sound
ike anyone we know?

01:17:52.719 --> 01:17:54.630
"But it was later when
the great man squinted

01:17:54.637 --> 01:17:57.174
"into the bitter
glow of twilight..."

01:17:57.182 --> 01:17:59.548
"Twilight." this kid
definitely needs an editor.

01:17:59.559 --> 01:18:01.424
"And muttered simply,
'it means nothing.

01:18:02.896 --> 01:18:05.433
"All of it.
Nothing.' That the true shock came.

01:18:06.858 --> 01:18:09.224
"It was then that
the boy understood

01:18:09.235 --> 01:18:12.227
"that his hero's true injuries
lay in a darker place.

01:18:12.238 --> 01:18:13.353
"His heart..."

01:18:16.367 --> 01:18:17.732
His heart what?

01:18:20.872 --> 01:18:23.830
"His heart, once capable of
inspiring others so completely,

01:18:23.833 --> 01:18:25.513
"could no longer inspire
so much as itself.

01:18:26.794 --> 01:18:28.409
"It beat now only out of habit.

01:18:28.963 --> 01:18:30.248
"It beat now only...

01:18:32.842 --> 01:18:34.048
"Because it could.”

01:18:37.931 --> 01:18:39.387
James: I'm ready.

01:18:42.018 --> 01:18:43.883
You all right, professor Tripp?

01:18:43.895 --> 01:18:45.726
He's fine, James. Now, can we go

01:18:45.730 --> 01:18:46.845
before granny comes down here

01:18:46.856 --> 01:18:48.216
and boils your
bones for breakfast?

01:18:48.566 --> 01:18:49.897
That could be a problem.

01:18:49.901 --> 01:18:52.813
She's been coming down here every
half-hour or so to check up on me,

01:18:52.820 --> 01:18:55.402
and if I'm not here,
she might call the police or something.

01:18:55.823 --> 01:18:57.233
Okay. Decoy.

01:18:57.242 --> 01:18:58.607
We'll put couple of your pillows

01:18:58.618 --> 01:18:59.824
and a little Teddy
bear under the spread.

01:18:59.827 --> 01:19:00.862
She won't know the difference.

01:19:00.870 --> 01:19:02.110
Like in against all flags,

01:19:02.121 --> 01:19:03.721
only they used a couple
of gigantic hams.

01:19:04.415 --> 01:19:06.952
No, no, no, no.
I got a better idea.

01:19:15.134 --> 01:19:16.465
Good night, sweet prince.

01:19:40.451 --> 01:19:41.987
Js shadows are fallin'

01:19:44.038 --> 01:19:45.903
j and I've been here all day

01:19:50.169 --> 01:19:51.169
Terry: Let's go upstairs.

01:19:52.380 --> 01:19:55.213
Bad vibes down here.

01:19:55.216 --> 01:19:59.459
Things must've picked up after we
left, huh, Grady?

01:19:59.470 --> 01:20:03.588
J feel like my soul
has turned into steel

01:20:09.230 --> 01:20:14.020
J I've still got the scars
that the sun didn't heal

01:20:18.906 --> 01:20:21.739
j there's not even room enough

01:20:21.743 --> 01:20:23.779
j to be anywhere

01:20:27.790 --> 01:20:29.746
j it's not dark yet

01:20:29.751 --> 01:20:31.082
good night, bro.

01:20:31.085 --> 01:20:33.371
J but it's gettin' there j

01:21:31.729 --> 01:21:34.141
Sara on machine: You've reached the
home of Sara and Walter gaskell.

01:21:34.148 --> 01:21:35.548
Neither Walter or
I can take your...

01:21:38.152 --> 01:21:40.518
Walter on phone: Hello. Walter?

01:21:40.530 --> 01:21:44.648
Grady? Oh, Christ, Grady,
do you know what time it is?

01:21:44.659 --> 01:21:47.150
Yeah. I got, uh, 8:15.

01:21:48.079 --> 01:21:49.535
I don't think that's
right, though.

01:21:49.539 --> 01:21:51.530
It's 3:30, Grady.

01:21:51.541 --> 01:21:53.406
Well, this is important, Walter.

01:21:53.418 --> 01:21:54.418
Oh?

01:21:56.003 --> 01:21:59.495
I, um... I...

01:22:00.049 --> 01:22:01.539
What is it, Grady?

01:22:03.052 --> 01:22:04.667
I'm in love with your wife.

01:22:07.432 --> 01:22:08.547
Excuse me?

01:22:09.809 --> 01:22:11.549
Sara. I'm in love with her.

01:22:13.771 --> 01:22:16.228
Are you drinking,
professor Tripp, right now?

01:22:16.232 --> 01:22:17.232
No.

01:22:19.026 --> 01:22:22.314
Nevertheless, I'd like to see
you in my office Monday morning.

01:22:29.620 --> 01:22:30.655
Oh, boy.

01:23:00.610 --> 01:23:03.693
Sara, what...
I tried to call, but...

01:23:03.696 --> 01:23:07.689
It seems there's something
wrong with your phone.

01:23:10.745 --> 01:23:14.078
It appears one of our
students is missing,

01:23:14.081 --> 01:23:16.618
and his parents found
a dead dog in his bed.

01:23:18.085 --> 01:23:20.246
It's my fault. I'm sorry.

01:23:20.254 --> 01:23:21.369
I've been trying to tell you...

01:23:21.380 --> 01:23:24.543
I'm not feeling very
happy with you right now.

01:23:26.385 --> 01:23:28.341
And more importantly,
Walter isn't very happy.

01:23:28.346 --> 01:23:30.428
He's gotten the police involved.

01:23:30.431 --> 01:23:33.594
They seem to think James leer is
somehow responsible for all this.

01:23:35.561 --> 01:23:39.179
You wouldn't happen to know
where James leer is, would you?

01:23:39.982 --> 01:23:41.267
He's inside.

01:23:41.943 --> 01:23:43.353
And Marilyn's jacket?

01:23:46.906 --> 01:23:48.396
Oh, it's in my car.

01:23:54.372 --> 01:23:56.954
Somebody stole my car. Oh, man!

01:23:56.958 --> 01:23:58.949
Honestly! Somebody stole my car!

01:23:58.960 --> 01:24:00.621
I parked it right
there last night!

01:24:00.628 --> 01:24:01.788
Are you sure it was
parked right there?

01:24:01.796 --> 01:24:03.411
Of course I'm sure! It was...

01:24:03.422 --> 01:24:06.755
Oh, Christ.
Here comes the puberty police now.

01:24:06.759 --> 01:24:09.501
Okay, okay, I'll deal with this.
You go dig up James.

01:24:19.897 --> 01:24:21.979
Is he awake?

01:24:21.983 --> 01:24:24.565
There's a police officer on the
porch, and he's not going away.

01:24:25.236 --> 01:24:27.352
That same guy? Same one.

01:24:29.073 --> 01:24:32.657
No offense, professor Tripp,
but you look sort of crappy.

01:24:32.660 --> 01:24:34.260
He's right.
I mean, you do look horrible.

01:24:35.705 --> 01:24:37.195
It's the chancellor.

01:24:39.166 --> 01:24:40.656
We're fine. We're just fine.

01:24:40.668 --> 01:24:41.668
James: Fine, right.

01:24:42.503 --> 01:24:44.118
Fit as a fuckin' fiddle.

01:24:44.130 --> 01:24:45.495
James, come on.

01:24:49.051 --> 01:24:50.757
Uh, James, this book of yours?

01:24:52.388 --> 01:24:55.596
It's not bad.
It's not bad at all.

01:24:57.810 --> 01:24:59.300
Thank you. You're welcome.

01:25:04.942 --> 01:25:06.262
I wanna publish this.

01:25:07.153 --> 01:25:09.610
I think with the proper
editorial guidance,

01:25:10.197 --> 01:25:11.778
this could be brilliant.

01:25:13.034 --> 01:25:14.365
Aw, that's great. That's great.

01:25:14.368 --> 01:25:16.575
Between officer pupcik and you,

01:25:16.579 --> 01:25:19.241
he can be the next Jean genet.

01:25:19.248 --> 01:25:21.808
Been a long time since somebody
wrote a really good book in jail.

01:25:23.586 --> 01:25:26.749
Don't you worry, James.
We're gonna figure something out.

01:25:26.756 --> 01:25:29.623
I'm not worried. You're not
worried, are you, professor Tripp?

01:25:31.218 --> 01:25:33.675
I'm a little worried, James.

01:25:33.679 --> 01:25:36.421
Don't be.
I don't care if they expel me.

01:25:37.558 --> 01:25:39.719
I probably should be expelled.

01:25:39.727 --> 01:25:41.327
Well, let's hope it
doesn't come to that.

01:25:45.191 --> 01:25:46.191
Professor Tripp...

01:25:46.692 --> 01:25:48.182
Yes, James”?

01:25:48.194 --> 01:25:50.901
Even if I end up going to jail,

01:25:50.905 --> 01:25:52.520
you're still the best
teacher I ever had.

01:26:00.247 --> 01:26:02.738
I wonder if this is what
the university has in mind

01:26:02.750 --> 01:26:05.207
when it promises a
liberal education.

01:26:07.296 --> 01:26:09.036
Walter wouldn't really press
charges, would he?

01:26:09.048 --> 01:26:10.913
We'll know soon enough.

01:26:10.925 --> 01:26:12.665
In a couple of hours,
he's gonna sit down with the police

01:26:12.677 --> 01:26:13.962
and James' parents,

01:26:13.970 --> 01:26:16.507
and he was a wee bit
prickly this morning.

01:26:20.935 --> 01:26:23.135
You didn't happen to call our
house last night, did you?

01:26:24.397 --> 01:26:26.262
I think I might have, yes.

01:26:28.234 --> 01:26:29.714
What do you think
you might have said?

01:26:30.653 --> 01:26:32.769
I think I might have said
I was in love with you.

01:26:36.158 --> 01:26:37.398
He told you.

01:26:37.910 --> 01:26:38.910
He told me.

01:26:39.996 --> 01:26:41.827
And what did you say?

01:26:41.831 --> 01:26:43.696
I said it didn't sound like you.

01:26:58.764 --> 01:27:01.597
Terry: Hey, Tripp!

01:27:05.146 --> 01:27:06.146
So, what do we do now?

01:27:09.066 --> 01:27:10.066
Find the jacket!

01:27:11.444 --> 01:27:12.650
Exactly how do we do that?

01:27:12.653 --> 01:27:14.359
I've got an idea where it is.

01:27:15.990 --> 01:27:18.902
We could ask Hannah if
we could borrow her car.

01:27:18.909 --> 01:27:23.027
Sure. Keys are on the
desk, next to your book.

01:27:27.668 --> 01:27:29.374
I didn't finish it. Fell asleep.

01:27:29.378 --> 01:27:31.414
Oh, it's that good, huh?

01:27:32.465 --> 01:27:34.080
It's not that. It's just...

01:27:34.091 --> 01:27:37.254
It's just what?

01:27:49.356 --> 01:27:52.676
Grady, you know how in class how you're
always telling us that writers make choices?

01:27:53.194 --> 01:27:54.194
Yeah.

01:27:55.780 --> 01:27:57.691
And even though your
book is really beautiful,

01:27:57.698 --> 01:27:59.859
I mean, amazingly
beautiful, it's...

01:28:01.702 --> 01:28:05.320
It's, at times,
it's very detailed.

01:28:06.290 --> 01:28:08.372
Uh...

01:28:08.375 --> 01:28:11.708
You know, with the genealogies
of everyone's horses

01:28:11.712 --> 01:28:15.330
and the dental records
and so on and...

01:28:15.341 --> 01:28:19.584
And I could be wrong, but it just,
it sort of reads in places like...

01:28:21.430 --> 01:28:22.790
You didn't really
make any choices.

01:28:26.393 --> 01:28:27.599
At all.

01:28:30.064 --> 01:28:33.397
And I was just wondering if it
might not be different if...

01:28:33.400 --> 01:28:35.641
If when you wrote,
you weren't always

01:28:37.113 --> 01:28:38.694
under the influence.

01:28:47.248 --> 01:28:48.454
Well...

01:28:49.875 --> 01:28:53.459
Well, uh,
thank you for the thought.

01:28:54.839 --> 01:28:57.581
But shocking as it may sound,

01:28:57.591 --> 01:29:01.300
I am not the first writer
to sip a little weed.

01:29:01.303 --> 01:29:03.168
Furthermore,
it might surprise you to know

01:29:03.180 --> 01:29:05.922
that one book I wrote, as you
say, "under the influence"

01:29:05.933 --> 01:29:09.096
just happened to win a little
something called the pen award,

01:29:09.103 --> 01:29:12.311
which, by the way,
I accepted under the influence.

01:29:23.784 --> 01:29:25.775
Hey, let me help you with that.

01:29:27.371 --> 01:29:29.077
Don't touch it.
Okay. I'll drive.

01:29:34.336 --> 01:29:35.451
Let me get this straight.

01:29:35.462 --> 01:29:37.874
Jerry Nathan owes you money,

01:29:37.882 --> 01:29:40.089
so as collateral,
he gives you his car.

01:29:40.092 --> 01:29:41.957
Only I'm beginning to
think that the car...

01:29:41.969 --> 01:29:44.255
Wasn't exactly Jerry's to give.

01:29:44.263 --> 01:29:46.094
Ah, so whose car was it?

01:29:46.098 --> 01:29:47.929
My guess? Vernon hardapple.

01:29:47.933 --> 01:29:49.844
The hood jumper?

01:29:49.852 --> 01:29:52.810
He said a few things that lead me
to believe that the car was his.

01:29:52.813 --> 01:29:54.223
Such as?

01:29:54.231 --> 01:29:55.437
"That's my car, motherfucker."

01:29:58.694 --> 01:30:01.310
All right, so we find
Vernon, we find the car.

01:30:01.322 --> 01:30:02.937
We find the car...
We find the jacket.

01:30:13.334 --> 01:30:16.542
Wow. Christ!
How'd you know, Tripp?

01:30:18.923 --> 01:30:22.461
Oh, I don't know.
Let's just call it a hunch.

01:30:22.468 --> 01:30:23.799
I call it genius.

01:30:23.802 --> 01:30:25.884
Good to know I'm still
talented at something.

01:30:27.848 --> 01:30:28.848
Careful.

01:30:31.185 --> 01:30:32.800
Keep that motor running.

01:31:30.160 --> 01:31:31.275
I know you.

01:31:33.789 --> 01:31:35.245
Double dickel on the rocks.

01:31:38.419 --> 01:31:39.829
Oola.

01:31:40.546 --> 01:31:42.161
I never forget a drink.

01:31:46.468 --> 01:31:48.675
I never forget an oola.

01:31:50.723 --> 01:31:51.963
Vernon: Forget me?

01:31:53.100 --> 01:31:54.431
Vernon?

01:31:54.435 --> 01:31:55.891
Go inside, cupcake.
He's got a gun.

01:31:56.770 --> 01:31:57.976
Grady: Who's got a gun?

01:31:57.980 --> 01:31:59.186
You've got a gun! Drop it!

01:32:00.357 --> 01:32:01.972
Uh-oh. Vernon, relax.

01:32:01.984 --> 01:32:03.645
Why is he calling you Vernon?

01:32:03.652 --> 01:32:05.483
Why is he sitting in my car?

01:32:05.487 --> 01:32:09.071
He's crazy, that's why!
He probably calls everybody Vernon.

01:32:09.074 --> 01:32:11.406
Now drop that gun! Oh, dear.

01:32:11.410 --> 01:32:13.366
It's a souvenir.
They don't even have caps for this thing.

01:32:13.370 --> 01:32:15.406
It's a souvenir. Bullshit!

01:32:15.414 --> 01:32:16.950
I know a gun when I see one!

01:32:16.957 --> 01:32:18.237
And that's a gun!
No! No, really.

01:32:19.460 --> 01:32:20.950
Terry: Oh, god! Oh!

01:32:20.961 --> 01:32:24.169
Give me that gun! Are you crazy?

01:32:24.173 --> 01:32:26.414
Can't you see the
condition my girl's in?

01:32:26.425 --> 01:32:28.416
Get out! Get out!

01:32:28.427 --> 01:32:30.713
Hey! Stop!

01:32:32.348 --> 01:32:33.713
Cupcake, you okay?

01:32:33.724 --> 01:32:35.965
Tripp, run!

01:32:37.353 --> 01:32:39.393
Vernon: Who in the hell is that?

01:32:39.646 --> 01:32:41.182
Oh, shit!

01:32:41.190 --> 01:32:43.932
Vernon, don't...
No! Don't shoot!

01:32:43.942 --> 01:32:46.479
Oh, no! Don't! Don't shoot!

01:32:46.487 --> 01:32:48.648
Come on, Tripp! Jump in! Run!

01:32:48.655 --> 01:32:49.940
He's a crazy man.

01:33:04.129 --> 01:33:05.129
Oh, my god.

01:33:19.686 --> 01:33:21.176
Grady: I take it back.

01:33:22.189 --> 01:33:23.269
Shoot him.

01:33:28.862 --> 01:33:30.818
Naturally, you have copies.

01:33:32.408 --> 01:33:36.526
I have an alternate version
of the first chapter.

01:33:36.537 --> 01:33:39.995
You'll be all right, then. Look at...
Look at Carlyle when he lost his luggage.

01:33:39.998 --> 01:33:41.738
That was macaulay. Oh.

01:33:43.460 --> 01:33:46.668
Well, what about Hemingway when
Hadley lost all those stories?

01:33:46.672 --> 01:33:49.379
He was never able
to reproduce them.

01:33:49.383 --> 01:33:52.671
Look, Tripp, I don't wanna
depreciate the loss here.

01:33:52.678 --> 01:33:56.637
But maybe, you know, in a
sense, it's for the best.

01:33:56.640 --> 01:33:58.847
You suggesting it's
some kind of sign?

01:33:59.393 --> 01:34:00.929
In a sense.

01:34:00.936 --> 01:34:04.394
In my experience,
signs are usually a little more subtle.

01:34:04.398 --> 01:34:07.765
Let me get this straight.
All that paper that blew away back there,

01:34:07.776 --> 01:34:09.892
that was the only copy?

01:34:09.903 --> 01:34:11.609
I'm afraid so, yes.

01:34:11.613 --> 01:34:16.152
And you, you're saying that
it's some kind of a sign?

01:34:16.160 --> 01:34:18.071
Man, what in the fuck
the matter with you?

01:34:18.078 --> 01:34:20.114
Don't.

01:34:20.122 --> 01:34:24.161
All I'm saying is that
sometimes, subconsciously,

01:34:24.168 --> 01:34:26.534
a person will put
themselves in a situation,

01:34:26.545 --> 01:34:28.786
perhaps even create
that situation,

01:34:28.797 --> 01:34:32.540
in order to have an arena in which
to work out an unresolved issue.

01:34:32.551 --> 01:34:35.668
It's a covert way, if you
will, of addressing a problem.

01:34:35.679 --> 01:34:37.795
I'll tell you the problem.

01:34:37.806 --> 01:34:41.094
You behind the wheel,
there's your problem.

01:34:41.101 --> 01:34:43.638
Excuse me. Did you or did you
not have a gun to his head?

01:34:43.645 --> 01:34:45.636
Oola: Watch the road, please.
He was trying to steal my car.

01:34:45.647 --> 01:34:47.933
Let me ask you a question. Did you or
did you not have a gun to his head?

01:34:47.941 --> 01:34:48.771
Oola: Watch the road!

01:34:48.775 --> 01:34:50.640
All right! All right!

01:34:50.652 --> 01:34:52.768
That's enough! That is enough!

01:34:52.779 --> 01:34:55.361
What is done is done!
I don't wanna hear about it anymore, okay?

01:35:12.007 --> 01:35:14.749
So what was it about, your book?

01:35:17.554 --> 01:35:19.169
What was the story?

01:35:22.226 --> 01:35:23.386
I don't know.

01:35:24.895 --> 01:35:26.305
What he means is it's
difficult to distill

01:35:26.313 --> 01:35:27.769
the essence of a book sometimes

01:35:27.773 --> 01:35:29.434
because it lives in the mind.

01:35:29.441 --> 01:35:32.478
Vernon: But you got to know
what it was about, right?

01:35:32.486 --> 01:35:35.023
If you didn't know what it was
about, why were you writing it?

01:35:39.243 --> 01:35:40.779
I couldn't stop.

01:35:52.297 --> 01:35:53.912
Vernon,
can I ask you a question?

01:35:58.220 --> 01:35:59.380
Boy or girl?

01:36:06.061 --> 01:36:08.017
As long as it looks like her,

01:36:09.898 --> 01:36:11.513
I really don't care. You...

01:36:12.901 --> 01:36:13.981
You know what I'm saying?

01:36:15.362 --> 01:36:16.362
Yeah.

01:36:18.240 --> 01:36:19.980
Thanks for the ride, Vernon.
Anytime.

01:36:20.784 --> 01:36:22.490
And another thing. Yeah?

01:36:22.494 --> 01:36:23.825
Stop calling me Vernon.

01:36:23.829 --> 01:36:24.989
Okay.

01:36:26.206 --> 01:36:28.322
Jacket, Tripp. What?

01:36:29.001 --> 01:36:30.537
We need the jacket.

01:36:31.712 --> 01:36:32.997
Oh, right.

01:36:38.635 --> 01:36:39.675
Oola, about that jacket...

01:36:40.345 --> 01:36:41.345
Yeah.

01:36:42.222 --> 01:36:44.178
It used to belong
to Marilyn Monroe.

01:36:46.727 --> 01:36:48.183
Really? Mmm-hmm.

01:36:48.186 --> 01:36:50.017
She had small shoulders.

01:36:50.606 --> 01:36:52.016
Just like you.

01:36:53.775 --> 01:36:55.055
A lot of people don't know that.

01:36:57.904 --> 01:37:00.020
Thank you.

01:37:00.032 --> 01:37:03.524
Man, that book of yours must
have been one nutty ride.

01:37:03.535 --> 01:37:05.150
Come on, baby, let's go.

01:37:17.966 --> 01:37:19.922
Would you mind explaining
to me what you just did?

01:37:19.926 --> 01:37:22.463
Came to my senses.

01:37:22.471 --> 01:37:26.214
Oh. Congratulations.
Meanwhile, what's James supposed to do?

01:37:26.224 --> 01:37:28.055
Pray that Walter
gaskell comes to his?

01:37:28.060 --> 01:37:30.893
Walter gaskell doesn't wanna
send James leer to jail.

01:37:31.938 --> 01:37:33.394
He's up in his office right now.

01:37:33.398 --> 01:37:37.186
He's talking to his
parents, local police,

01:37:37.194 --> 01:37:38.855
trying to find a solution.

01:37:38.862 --> 01:37:41.228
Tripp, the least they're
gonna do is expel him.

01:37:41.239 --> 01:37:43.195
It doesn't matter.

01:37:45.118 --> 01:37:46.858
That's very
enlightening, professor.

01:37:46.870 --> 01:37:50.408
It's comforting to know that America's
children have you for a teacher.

01:37:50.415 --> 01:37:53.122
Nobody teaches a
writer anything.

01:37:53.126 --> 01:37:55.242
You tell 'em what you know.

01:37:55.253 --> 01:37:57.619
You tell 'em to find their
voice and stay with it.

01:37:57.631 --> 01:37:59.246
You tell the ones that
have it to keep at it.

01:37:59.257 --> 01:38:00.872
You tell the ones that don't
have it to keep at it, too,

01:38:00.884 --> 01:38:03.604
because that's the only way they're
gonna get to where they're going.

01:38:05.263 --> 01:38:08.426
Of course, it does help if
you know where you wanna go.

01:38:14.731 --> 01:38:17.097
That and Sara,

01:38:18.485 --> 01:38:21.101
that's what's made these
last years worthwhile.

01:38:24.825 --> 01:38:28.488
As for James, well,
he doesn't really need me anymore.

01:38:28.495 --> 01:38:29.655
He's got you.

01:38:31.998 --> 01:38:33.113
Me?

01:38:35.502 --> 01:38:36.502
What can I do?

01:38:36.962 --> 01:38:38.748
Oh, I don't know, crabs.

01:38:38.755 --> 01:38:40.746
Improvise.

01:38:40.757 --> 01:38:42.418
You're pretty good at that.

01:38:48.765 --> 01:38:49.971
Tripp.

01:38:54.521 --> 01:38:55.636
I'm sorry.

01:39:09.035 --> 01:39:11.367
Improvise.

01:39:11.371 --> 01:39:14.238
Grady: As for me,
I was through improvising.

01:39:15.333 --> 01:39:17.699
I knew what I had to do.
I had to find Sara.

01:39:19.588 --> 01:39:22.705
I had to convince her
that she was my choice.

01:39:22.716 --> 01:39:25.423
That, in fact,
she had been from the very beginning.

01:39:35.937 --> 01:39:41.477
And now, as those of you who've
been with us in previous years know,

01:39:41.485 --> 01:39:44.477
we have a tradition of
sorts here at wordfest.

01:39:44.488 --> 01:39:48.231
I'm speaking, of
course, of the plums,

01:39:48.241 --> 01:39:52.735
those fortunate local writers who have
successfully placed their manuscripts

01:39:52.746 --> 01:39:55.829
with visiting publishers'
representatives.

01:39:55.832 --> 01:39:59.916
This weekend,
Susan Lowery of north braddock

01:39:59.920 --> 01:40:03.333
found a publisher for her children's
book, the loneliest prawn.

01:40:04.257 --> 01:40:05.542
Stand up, Susan.

01:40:18.396 --> 01:40:22.605
Now, this next one is, I think,
very exciting to announce

01:40:22.609 --> 01:40:26.067
because it concerns a student
here at the university.

01:40:26.947 --> 01:40:28.437
Our own James leer,

01:40:30.116 --> 01:40:32.607
sophomore in english literature,

01:40:32.619 --> 01:40:35.827
has found a publisher
for his first novel,

01:40:35.831 --> 01:40:40.200
which I believe is
called, the lovely parade.

01:40:42.754 --> 01:40:44.494
Love parade. Love parade.

01:40:44.881 --> 01:40:46.087
James?

01:40:47.634 --> 01:40:49.625
Stand up. Go on.

01:40:52.931 --> 01:40:55.513
He's a real alien probe,
if you know what I mean.

01:40:56.977 --> 01:40:58.433
Take a bow, James!

01:41:26.506 --> 01:41:27.621
Wonder boy.

01:41:36.933 --> 01:41:41.302
And finally,
and perhaps not least importantly,

01:41:41.313 --> 01:41:44.771
Terry crabtree of bartizan has also
decided to publish my own book,

01:41:47.027 --> 01:41:51.862
a critical exploration of the union
of Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe

01:41:51.865 --> 01:41:55.323
and its function in
American mythopoetics,

01:41:55.327 --> 01:41:57.488
which, tentatively,
I have entitled,

01:41:58.997 --> 01:42:00.953
the last American marriage.

01:42:02.542 --> 01:42:05.158
So, until next year,
thank you, everyone.

01:42:26.316 --> 01:42:29.524
Grady, I took another look at the
arsonist's daughter the other night.

01:42:29.527 --> 01:42:32.564
That description of the bald
cypress left me breathless.

01:42:32.572 --> 01:42:34.312
Thanks, q. I appreciate that.

01:43:00.767 --> 01:43:01.767
Sara!

01:43:40.223 --> 01:43:41.429
Yo, traxler.

01:43:45.395 --> 01:43:46.931
Hey, professor Tripp.

01:43:48.231 --> 01:43:49.767
You get high, Sam?

01:43:51.985 --> 01:43:52.985
Only when I'm workin'.

01:44:06.750 --> 01:44:07.830
Holy shit.

01:44:09.836 --> 01:44:11.292
Are you serious?

01:44:14.340 --> 01:44:15.580
Careful there, professor Tripp.

01:44:24.017 --> 01:44:25.017
Whoa.

01:44:32.150 --> 01:44:33.640
Grady: I didn't fall.

01:44:33.651 --> 01:44:35.642
Not then, not ever again.

01:44:37.906 --> 01:44:41.569
Once the monongahela river
swallowed my never-ending opus,

01:44:41.576 --> 01:44:43.441
there were no more spells.

01:44:44.621 --> 01:44:47.579
James leer didn't get
expelled or go to jail,

01:44:47.582 --> 01:44:50.540
thanks to crablree's
wheeling and dealing.

My wife, my book, my job,

01:45:13.066 --> 01:45:16.024
everything that I
thought was important.

01:45:16.027 --> 01:45:18.609

where I wanted to go.

01:45:52.814 --> 01:45:55.100
And now [I had someone
to help me get there.
