1:34:07
God, Simon, you're like
a total fucking rock star.
1:34:16
I'm willing
to negotiate, Simon.
1:34:19
I know. It's just...
1:34:20
What? You got other offers?
1:34:23
Well, yeah...
1:34:25
-But...
-What?
1:34:30
Why have you reconsidered?
1:34:34
Because I think your writing
will be tremendously successful.
1:34:36
But you don't like it.
1:34:40
It's growing on me.
1:34:43
-What were the terms?
-US$ 1OO,OOO in cash.
1:34:48
Up front.
1:34:49
-Royalties?
-7O/3O split.
1:34:53
Well, that could be better.
1:34:55
But it is a hundred thousand dollars
up front. Guaranteed money.
1:35:00
You could use that.
1:35:02
-So it's a good deal?
-Of course it's a good deal.
1:35:07
So I should take it?
1:35:13
No.
1:35:15
Try to get him
up to US$ 15O,OOO.
1:35:26
I've let
myself down, Simon.
1:35:32
I've let myself be caught in a
bloody maul, banale necessity.
1:35:40
How did I get here?
1:35:43
How did this happen to me?
1:35:46
I'm going to be
somebody's father.
1:35:51
I need time
to think, to write...
1:35:56
time to finish my confession.
1:35:59
I can't work for a living.
