ln the office, Amanda?
That's where l write.
:13:05
That's where l create.
My whole world is in there.
:13:08
You can create in the living room.
:13:10
ln the...? No, Amanda.
Everything is in there, okay?
:13:15
That's my space.
lt's where l write.
:13:17
All of my rituals
revolve around my space.
:13:21
- l can't...
- She's my mother.
:13:23
- She's not staying in a shelter.
- Why didn't you tell me earlier?
:13:27
- l didn't want to ruin your dinner.
- My anniversary tuna fish sandwich?
:13:31
You're making matters worse, okay?
You're giving me a migraine.
:13:36
[phone rings]
Hello.
:13:38
l'll only be a minute.
When l left you, l ran into Danny Wax.
:13:43
He said the baby-sitter routine
you wrote for him is not working.
:13:49
There are no laughs.
Not one laugh in that routine.
:13:52
People are sitting with stone faces.
:13:55
The routine is fine.
The guy's just in the wrong profession.
:14:00
That's what l told him. l said, ''Danny,
you've been around for a long time.
:14:04
''You think there's a reason
you never made it?''
:14:08
No tact.
None. None.
:14:11
l said to him, ''Danny, a man buys a suit.
:14:16
''He says he's happy with it.
:14:18
''Then he sees another suit.
:14:21
Suddenly he doesn't want
the suit he's got!
:14:23
''He wants a new suit.
He's not happy with the old one.''
:14:28
Right, yeah.
Listen, l'm a little busy now.
:14:31
Can l ring you back?
:14:33
l was up to NBC.
There is nothing doing up there.
:14:37
Not right now.
Things being equal, they'll change.
:14:40
Right now they're not equal.
l'd like to have lunch with you this week.
:14:44
l need a business thing done.
We have to talk.
:14:47
l got a business thing to discuss.
:14:49
What kind of business?
What do you mean?
:14:54
There's nothing to get anxious about.
lt's about the future.
:14:57
Good-bye.
