1:41:04
Yes.
1:41:12
Maybe your expectations
were too high.
1:41:15
Are you sure you're
being objective?
1:41:34
-You read this?
-Yes.
1:41:37
And you want me
to consider publishing?
1:41:40
-Yes.
-As part of our deal?
1:41:44
Yes.
1:41:51
Simon...
1:41:53
this book is
really quite bad.
1:42:01
That's what you said
about my poem.
1:42:08
I'm offering you a real expression
of my faith in your writing.
1:42:13
US$ 2OO,OOO,
and a 6O/4O split.
1:42:21
But just exactly what is the
nature of your faith in my writing?
1:42:29
Simon, you don't
require my admiration...
1:42:34
but my experience as a publisher.
And that experience tells me...
1:42:38
that your poem will make more money
than any poetry ever published!
1:42:43
You will never have to work again
on a garbage truck, I assure you...
1:42:46
or in anything else,
for that matter.
1:42:48
Whereas this...
1:42:53
The most I can say
about this is...
1:42:58
the man is a scoundrel.
