1:16:01
I'll tell you something.
I'm counting on it.
1:16:03
I've taken an interest.
Nothing to fear, mind you.
1:16:06
Hardly seems necessary in your case--
1:16:08
a writer,
a storyteller of your stature.
1:16:11
Give it to me
in bold strokes, Bart.
1:16:13
Give me the broad outlines.
1:16:15
I'm in the audience,
the lights go down,
1:16:17
Capitol logo comes up.
1:16:19
You're on, huh?
1:16:25
Yeah.
1:16:26
Uh... okay.
1:16:28
Huh?
1:16:30
Well, uh...
1:16:33
we... we fade in...
1:16:35
Uh-huh.
1:16:38
It's--It's a tenement building
on the Lower East Side.
1:16:41
Great!
He's poor, this wrestler.
1:16:43
He's had to struggle, huh?
1:16:47
And then...
1:16:48
Uh-huh?
1:16:49
Well, uh...
1:16:53
Can I be honest, Mr.Lipnick?
1:16:56
Can you?
Jesus, you damn well better be!
1:16:59
If I wasn't honest
in my business dealings--
1:17:01
Well, you can't always be honest,
1:17:03
not with the sharks
swimming around this town.
1:17:06
If I'd been totally honest,
1:17:07
I wouldn't be near this pool
1:17:09
unless I was cleaning it.
1:17:11
But that's no reason
for you not to be.
1:17:13
Honest, I mean.
Not cleaning the pool.
1:17:19
Oh.
1:17:22
Uh-huh.
1:17:30
To be honest, uh...
1:17:32
I'm never really comfortable
1:17:33
discussing work in progress.
1:17:35
I got it all worked out in my head,
1:17:38
but sometimes,
if you force it into words...
1:17:42
prematurely...
1:17:44
uh, the wrong words...
1:17:45
Well, your meaning changes,
1:17:47
and it changes in your own mind,
and you never get it back,
1:17:51
so I'd... I'd just as soon
not talk about it.
