They think what I think. My work once
showed promise and I haven't delivered.

:24:05
Your work's not fashionable. You should
be thankful for that, for God's sakes.

:24:09
What are you after?
The superficial acclaim

:24:12
of some little book reviewer
in some room somewhere?

:24:15
We've always talked about fine work
that means something in the long run.

:24:19
I don't care about fine work!
:24:21
I don't wanna wait 25 years. I wanna
be able to knock somebody over now!

:24:25
They're stricter with you because you
attempt more. They refuse to take that...

:24:30
Stop looking for excuses, all right?
I'm not writing for a time capsule.

:24:34
And half the stuff that's written,
it's garbage, they praise sky-high.

:24:50
The baby-sitter will be here in a minute.
:24:53
- I told you, I'm not going.
- We can't not go. What is the matter?

:24:57
I'm not in the mood
for your lesbian friends

:24:59
and a lot of vacuous gossip
about New York poetesses.

:25:02
Will you stop pitying
yourself so much? I'm going.

:25:05
Look, why can't you just once in a while
consider my feelings and my needs?

:25:09
I'm sick of your needs! I'm tired of
your idiosyncrasy and competitiveness.

:25:13
I have my own problems!
:25:17
There'll be chitchat
about the nature of poetry,

:25:19
your symbolism,
your contribution to whatever.

:25:22
We never see Marion and Gail. I don't
understand. You used to like them.

:25:26
I can't stand 'em. They're so enthusiastic.
College kids. I get embarrassed.

:25:30
Oh, well, don't get embarrassed.
Don't come. Drink yourself unconscious.

:25:34
That's one cliché of being
a novelist you have no problem with.

:25:37
Yeah, I sure can drink.
:25:39
You're fine as long as
I keep everything going.

:25:42
- What?
- Sh.

:25:43
You mean the cheques from Daddy so
you can write yourself into immortality?

:25:48
I also raise the family that you
wanted. Or thought you wanted.

:25:51
Hey, you made some noises
about experiencing motherhood.

:25:54
I'm sure you thought
it was great raw material.

:25:57
Well, now you got another human being.
:25:59
It wasn't my idea, and I'm not
ashamed to be subsidized either.
