:03:12
Come in.
:03:23
Mr. Verrill is here, Mr. Wilson.
:03:29
-Pete!
-Johnny!
:03:31
For God's sake!
:03:33
-How the hell are you?
-All right.
:03:35
Well, you're looking good, kid.
:03:37
-What have you been up to?
-Skiing and sitting in the sun.
:03:40
lsn't that swell?
:03:42
-l missed you, kid.
-l missed you too, John.
:03:44
-Same old Pete.
-Yeah.
:03:46
-Care for some coffee?
-l'm fine.
:03:48
-This is some joint you got.
-lsn't it?
:03:50
-Did you get a load of the living room?
-Did l ever!
:03:53
lsn't it the most hideous thing?
l'm crazy about it.
:03:55
Miss Wilding, you can get the hell
out of here. There's no work today.
:04:00
Well, what do you think of this outfit?
:04:03
Hey, that's some getup
you got there, Johnny.
:04:06
Of course it is.
:04:08
Now, what about you?
What about the book?
:04:10
l didn't get very much done on the book.
:04:12
Why? Or would you prefer
not to talk about it?
:04:14
l don't mind. l just couldn't get started.
:04:17
An then when l did,
l got hooked up with some dame.
:04:20
-Hell, isn't it?
-lt sure is.
:04:22
And once it's over, you can't figure out
why it all seemed so damn important.
:04:26
There's nothing tougher
than trying to remember...
:04:28
...why you chased a dame
once you've had her.
:04:30
Yeah, l'll say. And l didn't get
much skiing done because of her.
:04:34
Well, that's a shame. l think l've got
the cure for that, though: Africa.
:04:38
You come down there with me
and you work on this script.
:04:41
-You really think that's gonna help me?
-Even if it doesn't, you've got to do it.
:04:45
There are times when you can't wonder
whether it's the right or wrong thing to do.
:04:50
Not for guys like you and me, kid.
You just gotta pack up and go.
:04:57
l gotta get started on this book.
:04:59
lf you didn't write it before,
you weren't ready.
