"De gustibus non disputandum est."
1:00:08
"You can't argue with taste?"
1:00:11
About taste. You can't argue about
taste. My God, Simon...

1:00:15
The other 25 are almost as bad.
I don't know why I bothered.

1:00:23
What do you mean, you
don't know why you bothered?

1:00:26
You bother because you
know the poem is excellent.

1:00:30
Do I?
1:00:32
Of course you do.
1:00:35
I'm not so sure sometimes.
1:00:37
Can you sit there, look me in the
eye and tell me it's not great?

1:00:43
That it is not a work
of great lyrical beauty...

1:00:46
and ethical depth?
1:00:48
That it is not a profound meditation
on the miracle of existence?

1:00:55
-I...
-Can you?

1:01:00
No.
1:01:02
-I can't.
-So you see? You have no choice.

1:01:22
Can you recommend it to your
friend, the publisher, Henry?

1:01:27
Can you recommend
the poem to him?

1:01:29
-That might not be easy.
-Why?

1:01:32
It's been a long time. My name might
not carry as much weight as it did.

1:01:39
-But he's your friend, right?
-We were close at one time.

1:01:42
You said he
respected your opinion.

1:01:57
Look, Simon.
