When I mentioned a snack, I was thinking
more on the lines of cheese and crackers.
:33:24
Paul, this is no time for jokes.
:33:27
You must rid the world of this filth.
:33:32
You want me to burn my book?
:33:34
I know this may be difficult for you,
but it's for the best.
:33:41
It's really not difficult at all.
:33:44
My agent made dozens of copies.
There's gonna be an auction in New York.
:33:48
Every publishing house in New York
is reading it now.
:33:50
So if you want me to burn my book, fine.
You're not ridding the world of anything.
:33:56
Then light the match, Paul.
:33:58
It's no big deal.
:34:01
So you've indicated. Do it.
:34:13
I know it's the only copy. When you wrote
your first book you didn't make a copy...
:34:17
..because you didn't think anybody
would take it seriously.
:34:20
Now you never make copies
because you're superstitious.
:34:23
It's why you always
come back to Silver Creek.
:34:26
You told that story to Merv Griffin
1 1 years ago.
:34:31
Merv Griffin...
:34:36
I'll tell you what. It doesn't ever have to be
published. No one ever has to read it.
:34:41
I'll just keep it for myself.
No one will even know it exists.
:34:46
As long as it does exist,
your mind won't ever be free.
:34:53
I think you should light the match, Paul.
