:04:00
so you're asking the question.
:04:02
And... do you think
they get back together?
:04:04
I mean, did you, in real life?
:04:08
Did I real...
:04:10
Look, see, in the words
of my grandfather, ok...
:04:13
to answer that,
:04:14
would take the piss
out of the whole thing.
:04:16
Oh, no...
:04:17
We just have the time
for one last question.
:04:20
What is your next book?
:04:25
I don't know, man,
I don't know...
:04:28
I've been...
:04:29
I've been thinking about this...
:04:31
Well, I always kind of wanted
to write a book
:04:34
that all took place within
the space of a pop song,
:04:38
you know, like 3 or 4 minutes long.
:04:41
The story, the idea is that...
:04:43
there's this guy.
:04:45
And...
:04:47
he's totally depressed!
:04:48
I mean, his great dream was to be
:04:50
a lover, an adventurer,
:04:52
you know, riding motorcycles
through South America,
:04:55
and instead he's sitting
at a marble table,
:04:57
eating lobster,
:04:58
and he's got a good job
and a beautiful wife, right.
:05:00
You know, everything that he needs.
:05:03
But that doesn't matter,
:05:05
'cause what he wants
is to fight for meaning.
:05:08
You know, happiness is in the doing,
not in the...
:05:12
getting what you want.
:05:13
So, he's sitting there,
:05:15
and just at a second,
:05:17
his little five year old daughter
:05:20
hops up on the table.
:05:21
And he knows that
she should get down
:05:23
'cause she could get hurt,
:05:25
but she's dancing to this
pop song,
:05:28
in a summer dress.
:05:30
And he looks down,
:05:32
and all of a sudden,
he is sixteen.
:05:36
And... his high school sweetheart
:05:38
is dropping him off, at home.
:05:41
And they've just lost their virginity,
:05:43
and she loves him,
:05:44
and the same song is
playing on the car radio,
:05:49
and she climbs up and starts
dancing on the roof of the car.
:05:52
And now,
now he's worried about her!
:05:54
And she is beautiful, with a...
:05:56
a facial expression
just like his daughters'.
:05:59
In fact, you know, maybe that's
why he even likes her
