1:01:02
-Silly, isn't it?
-It certainly is silly.
1:01:04
I don't intend to be the laughingstock
of the trade by publishing it.
1:01:07
-But every word is gospel, boy, gospel.
-What's the use, Sid? He isn't having any.
1:01:14
This is my hour of grief.
1:01:18
Sidney, maybe we can find something
to tide you over.
1:01:22
A little bourbon? Scotch? That's right.
1:01:26
-You don't care which one it is. Nicky?
-No, thanks. I've had plenty.
1:01:44
-Hello, Miss Holroyd.
-Hello.
1:01:45
-Is Mr. Henderson busy?
-Yes, but there's a Mr. Holroyd with him.
1:01:56
Of course, you understand,
you can keep the advance.
1:01:58
Well, think of the devil.
1:02:01
I'm sorry, Shep, I have to see you. Now.
1:02:05
Hi, dear. This is a pleasant surprise.
1:02:08
Come on in.
1:02:10
What do you suppose, Gil?
Shep turned down the book.
1:02:13
-I'm afraid I had to.
-You bet you did.
1:02:15
So long, Shep.
You and Gil will be hearing from me.
1:02:21
-You forgot your manuscript.
-Just drop it into the wastebasket.
1:02:25
It was silly of me to try
this writing bit anyway, wasn't it, Gil?
1:02:29
You can always go to another publisher.
1:02:32
No, I don't guess any other publisher
would do us much good.
1:02:35
-Would it, Gil?
-I doubt it.
1:02:39
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in the sequel I have in mind...
1:02:43
...about the islands in the Caribbean,
Voodoo Among the Virgins?
1:02:57
Don't trouble, Nicky.
I'm going to tell Shep.
