:40:00
Well, you know,
if you want me to, l would read it.
:40:04
l don't know... Could l come over
tomorrow and read it to you?
:40:07
Come over tomorrow and read it to me?
You must be joking!
:40:11
l've been doing
all my own reading since l was 40.
:40:14
l think it's lucky l ran into you. Maybe.
:40:17
What about me? l should have kept going.
:40:19
l have a nagging sensation
that l should have kept walking
:40:23
and not begun this conversation.
:40:27
(Holly) ''We go through life
playing the hand we're dealt.''
:40:30
''Craig: And what hand were you dealt?''
:40:33
''Emily: l'm two high pair,
maybe even aces up.''
:40:38
''The problem is,
you've got three deuces.''
:40:42
That's the end.
:40:45
No, you can tell me straight.
lt's OK. Just tell me what you think.
:40:51
lt's great.
:40:53
l'm... speechless.
:40:55
l was not in the mood
to listen to this thing now.
:41:01
l don't know what to say.
l'm moved and l laughed and l...
:41:05
l was on the edge of my seat.
lt's wonderful.
:41:08
l'm totally stunned. This is not an insult.
:41:11
l'm amazed that you can...
l just thought it was great.
:41:16
- Really?
- Yes. l was absolutely...
:41:19
What made you think
of that climax scene,
:41:22
where the architect is walking home
with his actress girlfriend
:41:25
and the schizophrenic ex-wife
jumps out and stabs him to death?
:41:29
- lt just came to me one day.
- lt was just fabulous.
:41:33
Gosh, you really think l can write?
:41:35
There's one or two things
l would do differently myself,
:41:39
but who cares? lt was fabulous.
:41:42
l mean lt. l'm so impressed!
l am. You've made my day.
:41:47
lt was just great.
l was set to be bored stiff.
:41:52
- Would you like to have lunch?
- l would love to talk about the script.
:41:56
- l think we could do something with it.
- OK.
:41:59
And l'd like to hear what made you
suddenly decide to drop out of life.
