I don't keep a Iine
that Viv hasn't approved.
:53:15
I reIy on her compIeteIy.
She's my first audience.
:53:19
Of course.
:53:20
She's a writer, too.
:53:22
ConsiderabIe taIent.
:53:23
ReaIIy?
:53:24
I'II send you some
of her things, shaII I?
:53:27
You do reaIize, of course,
what she's doing to you,
:53:31
to your reputation?
:53:33
What she might do
to your work?
:53:34
You're wrong.
You're quite wrong.
:53:36
You have no idea.
You don't know her.
:53:40
She. . . has an uncanny
understanding
:53:44
of certain things.

can become moraI. . .

She's often
in a Iot of pain.
:54:17
[ Vivienne giggIing ]

I must take care of her.
:54:20
That's what I must do.

Of course, Virginia thinks
Tom shouId Ieave me.
:54:38
She refers to me
as a bag of ferrets.
:54:41
It's my nose, you see --
writer's insight.
:54:43
WeII, she shouId know.
:54:44
Leonard has her
in and out of the Ioony bin
:54:47
every coupIe of months.
:54:49
[ I ndistinct conversation

:54:52
They aII hate me
because I've got Tom,
:54:55
and they aII want him.
:54:56
OttoIine's desperate
for an affair with Tom.
:54:59
Ha!
