:00:00
lt was Stamford.
:00:02
Excuse me?
:00:04
At the bar in London.
:00:05
He's the one who
introduced Watson to Holmes.
:00:08
Might save you some time
after everybody's done in there.
:00:18
You know how long l worked on that?
:00:21
''One season of faith's perfection''?
:00:23
Feels like l worked on it
for two or three seasons.
:00:30
Oh, you're in that place where
you can't even hear me.
:00:34
Like l could ask why you
never moved from here...
:00:36
-...and you wouldn't even get pissed--
-Paragraph three starts...
:00:40
...with a conjunction, ''and.''
:00:43
Never start a sentence
with a conjunction.
:00:46
-Sure you can.
-Oh, no.
:00:47
lt's a firm rule.
:00:49
No, no, no, see...
:00:51
...it was a firm rule.
:00:52
lf you use a conjunction
at the start of a sentence...
:00:55
...it can make it stand out a bit.
:00:57
And that may be what the writer wants.
:00:59
And what is the risk?
:01:02
Well, the risk is doing it too much.
:01:04
lt's a distraction. lt could
give the piece a run-on feeling.
:01:07
But for the most part,
the rule on ''and'' or ''but''...
:01:10
...at the start is still pretty shaky.
:01:12
Even though it's taught
in many schools by many teachers.
:01:16
Some of the best writers
have ignored that rule for years...
:01:19
...including you.
:01:23
Well, you've taken...
:01:25
...something which was mine...
:01:28
...and made it yours.
:01:29
That's quite an accomplishment.
:01:33
Thank you.
:01:35
The title is still mine, isn't it?
:01:39
l guess.
:01:40
Now, it was the neighborhood
that changed. Not me.
:01:44
l ain't seen nothing change.
:01:46
You ''ain't seen nothing''?
:01:47
What in the hell kind
of sentence is that? Huh?
:01:51
When you're in here,
don't talk like you do out there.
:01:54
l was messing with you, man.
lt was a joke.
