I love it!
:06:02
Down with Love.
Hear! Hear!
:06:05
I only wish somebody had written
your book 1 0 years ago...
:06:07
before it was too late for me.
:06:09
Gladys, it's never too late.
:06:12
Great job. Sorry if the guys in New
Production have been riding your tail.
:06:15
I'm not.
:06:21
They're ready for you
in the lion's den.
:06:27
- Lion's den?
- Oh, don't worry. You'll be fine.
:06:32
Just take a deep breath.

- R.J.
:06:57
- Okay.
- O.K. can't make it.
:06:59

That's his portrait, there.

[ Vikki ] Forgive me if we kept you
waiting, but Barbara hit a storm...
:07:18
on her way down from Maine.
:07:20
- So you've come down from Maine, huh?
- You remember, C.B.
:07:23
Miss Novak is
the farmer's daughter librarian...
:07:26
who spent the long,
cold New England winter...
:07:29
writing her manuscript
by the light of a lonely oil lamp.
:07:33
I'm at a loss here, ladies.
:07:34
I'm afraid I don't know exactly
what Miss Novak's book is about.
:07:39
Miss Novak's book is a serious work
of nonfiction entitled--
:07:43
Vikki, excuse me.
It's right behind you.
:07:45
Would you mind pouring me
a cup of coffee?
:07:50
It's a serious work of nonfiction...
:07:52
entitled Down With Love.
:07:55
- This is empty.
- If you're making a fresh pot,
I'll have a cup.
:07:58
- Count me in.
- Likewise.
