1:45:07
What happened?
1:45:09
It's a...
1:45:14
it's a boy.
1:45:18
So, how did it
go with Angus James?
1:45:27
Listen, Henry. Angus
didn't like your confession.
1:45:30
Oh, I see.
1:45:33
-Well, what now?
-What do you mean?
1:45:35
-Did he suggest changes?
-No.
1:45:38
There are things I can do
to make it more accessible.
1:45:41
Accessible?
1:45:43
I can soften up some of the language
and make it read easier.
1:45:46
Take out some of the more
inter-textual references...
1:45:49
and popularize the underlying
strum and drum, sort of speak.
1:45:52
I can change its mode. Make it
more of a conventional novel.
1:45:56
No, don't.
1:45:58
I appreciate your
protectiveness, Simon.
1:46:00
But the integrity of the work
can sustain such things.
1:46:11
No, really, Henry. Don't.
1:46:18
What are you saying?
1:46:21
That it doesn't
merit revision?
1:46:23
I'm saying Angus James
didn't like it.
1:46:29
-Did you tell him what you think?
-What I think doesn't matter.
1:46:32
Yes, it does.
You've got to use your influence.
1:46:35
I gave it to him to read and he
hated it. What more can I do?
1:46:39
You can refuse to let him
publish your poem.
1:46:53
I can't do that.
