1:17:25
Well...
1:17:27
that is quite a story.
1:17:30
If you could write it,
I'd publish it.
1:17:33
You don't believe it, do you?
1:17:38
If I don't, what's my option?
1:17:40
That I'm crazy?
1:17:43
I'm not crazy.
1:17:45
Have you heard the rumors...
1:17:47
that Cane's books
have affected certain readers?
1:17:52
Yeah. Styles told me.
1:17:54
Styles... Oh, that's the girl
you say I sent with you.
1:17:59
But I know I sent you off alone.
1:18:02
Why wouldn't I remember her?
1:18:10
Well...
1:18:12
That's easy.
She was written out.
1:18:15
Written out?
1:18:16
Look, do you think...
1:18:20
those books
somehow infected you?
1:18:22
Listen to me, Harglow.
1:18:25
Everything I've said is true.
It's real.
1:18:28
And that's why I had to destroy
the last manuscript.
1:18:31
But I know that's not true.
1:18:36
What are you talking about?
1:18:37
You delivered that manuscript
to me months ago.
1:18:40
To me personally in this room.
1:18:43
I did?
1:18:45
Yes, you did.
Last spring.
1:18:48
For God's sakes,
we published in July.
1:18:51
The book's been in the stores
for seven weeks.
1:18:55
Have you read it?
1:18:56
No.
I never read Cane's work.
1:18:58
I haven't got
the stomach for it.
