We were developing a narcotic
dependence on television...
1:04:09
the marital aid that enables
a couple to endure each other...
1:04:13
without having to talk.
1:04:26
A New York editress
was overnighting in Paris...
1:04:29
on her way
to the Frankfurt book fair.
1:04:31
I wanted to show her
a good time.
1:04:34
It was a PR job...
1:04:36
and I was apprehensive
of her reaction to Mimi...
1:04:39
who tended to upstage
every other woman in sight.
1:04:42
You wearing that?
1:04:44
That dress?
1:04:45
What about it?
1:04:49
Couldn't you wear
something else?
1:04:53
What's wrong with it?
1:04:54
Oh, nothing.
1:04:56
What do you mean, nothing?
1:05:00
You think it makes me look fat,
it makes my ass look fat.
1:05:04
Did I say that?
1:05:06
- You think I've got a fat ass.
- You said that. I didn't.
1:05:09
So you do think
I've got a fat ass.
1:05:12
Give me a break.
1:05:14
You wouldn't have said that
once upon a time.
1:05:17
You liked my ass.
1:05:18
I still like your ass.
I'm crazy about your ass.
1:05:22
You don't love me anymore.
1:05:24
Wear what you fucking want.
1:05:26
Wear a fucking bathrobe,
for all I care.
1:05:37
The trouble is, publishing
isn't what it used to be.
1:05:40
It's the bottom line
that counts now...
1:05:42
proven track records,
advance sales.
1:05:45
No one's gonna invest
in a newcomer...
1:05:46
who hasn't proven himself.
1:05:47
So an unknown can't get
published unless he's known.
1:05:50
Sounds like a Catch-22 to me.
1:05:52
You could call it that.
1:05:54
And your Parisian settings
don't help any.
1:05:56
When are you
going to come back home...
1:05:57
back to the United States,
where it's at?
1:05:59
No, he wouldn't do that.
