:44:06
Shall l turn off the lights?
:44:08
Yes.
:44:29
Sit down, Mr. Boxley.
:44:34
l can't go on.
lt's a waste of time.
:44:36
l can't go on.
lt's a waste of time.
:44:38
Why?
:44:40
You've stuck me with two hacks.
:44:45
They can't write.
:44:46
And they... bugger up
:44:48
everything l write.
:44:50
Well, why don't you just
write it yourself?
:44:52
l have.
l sent you some.
:44:54
That was just talk.
We'd lose the audience.
:44:56
Talk?
:44:59
Mm-hmm.
:45:00
l don't think you people
read things.
:45:04
The men...
:45:05
The men are dueling...
:45:08
when this conversation
takes place.
:45:10
At the end,
one of them falls into a well
:45:13
and has to be hauled up...
:45:16
in a bucket.
:45:21
Would you write that
in a book of your own?
:45:23
Of course l wouldn't.
:45:26
l inherited
this absurd situation.
:45:31
Let me ask you,
:45:33
do you ever go to the movies?
:45:36
Rarely.
:45:38
Because people are always
dueling
:45:40
and falling down wells?
:45:41
And talking a load of rubbish!
:45:42
Listen...
:45:45
has your office got
a stove in it
:45:47
that lights with a match?
:45:48
l think so.
:45:50
Suppose you're in your office.
:45:53
You've been fighting duels
all day.
:45:55
You're exhausted.
:45:58
This is you.
