1:06:04
I don't want you to write
the way I write.
1:06:06
You've got to write in your own voice.
I'm just making a few suggestions.
1:06:09
It's tight in places.
Here.
1:06:12
Read it out loud
and see how it sounds.
1:06:15
- I won't give you that pleasure.
- Pleasure?
1:06:18
Hold on a minute here.
1:06:21
Can't you take it?
You gotta take a few taps on the chin.
1:06:24
A few taps on the chin?
1:06:27
Amuse yourself with someone else.
1:06:30
A prizefighter, for instance.
1:06:32
You're right exactly.
A prizefighter.
1:06:35
You've got to get knocked down
occasionally to acquire ring tactics.
1:06:39
The strategy,
the art of fighting.
1:06:42
You can't just shadowbox in your room.
1:06:45
You wouldn't last two minutes
when you step into the ring.
1:06:47
I am not interested
in stepping into a ring with you.
1:06:51
The world will give us
plenty of beatings.
1:06:54
We need each other's support.
1:06:57
Should I criticize you
like an outsider?
1:07:00
Should I say you write
caricatures?
1:07:03
That you write only from a man's point
of view and can't understand women?
1:07:06
Should I say that sometimes there's
a touch of the brute in your writing?
1:07:11
That you're too much of a realist?
1:07:19
What's the matter?
Can't you take it?
1:07:23
Like a prizefighter.
1:07:25
Knock it off.
1:07:28
You want to fight, huh?
1:07:44
Don't.
1:07:47
Leave it. It looks nice that way.
1:07:50
Wild.
1:07:52
Loose.
1:07:53
You never like the way I look.
1:07:56
I do love your hair.
1:07:59
I just think it shouldn't be so severe.
