:12:00
Just a couple of days.
:12:03
Did you meet another girl?
:12:06
Aah, yeah. Her name was Gretchen,
and she was amazing.
:12:09
You did?
Yeah, the book is really
:12:09
a composite of the two of you.
:12:11
Really? Oh, no...
No, I'm kidding!
:12:13
You wouldn't believe it,
I even went back to the train station.
:12:15
I put up, you know, signs
of my number, and the hotel,
:12:19
in case you've been delayed.
I was a total dork.
:12:21
Let's go this way.
Did you get any calls?
:12:23
Just a couple hookers,
looking for a gig.
:12:25
No, it was awful.
What do you want me to say...
:12:28
Oh, it's so sad. I'm so sorry!
:12:30
I walked around for a couple of days.
Eventually, I flew home,
:12:33
I owed my dad 2000 bucks,
:12:36
who had warned me about
French chicks, I have to say.
:12:39
What did he tell you about French women?
:12:40
Nothing, the guy... he's never
met any French women.
:12:43
He's never been east
of the Mississippi.
:12:45
So why didn't you put "Six months later,
the French bitch didn't have show up"
:12:49
You know, like...
But I did, I did.
:12:51
- You did?
- Yeah, no, I mean I made it more hopeful.
:12:54
I wrote this whole fictional version
in which you actually do show up.
:12:57
- Oh, what happens?
- Uhm...
:13:01
What?
:13:02
Uhm, we make love for about ten
days straight, that's one part of it.
:13:06
Oh, that's interesting.
So, the French slut...
:13:07
- Yeah
- Ok, ok...
:13:09
It's just, then they, you know,
they start to know each other better
:13:12
and they realize that
they don't get along at all.
:13:14
I like that.
It's more real.
:13:15
Yeah, well, my editor
didn't think that way.
:13:17
No, everyone wants to believe in love.
It sells, right?
:13:20
Yeah, exactly...
:13:22
So things are going well for you, right?
:13:24
I mean, your book is a
best seller in the US...
:13:27
- It's a tiny best-seller.
- Oh, come on...
:13:29
All right, yeah,
officially, yes,
:13:30
but I mean all those people haven't
read Moby Dick,
:13:33
you know, so why
should they read my book?
:13:34
I haven't read Moby Dick,
and I liked your book, so...
:13:36
Nice
:13:37
You know, I thought you
idealized the night a bit.
:13:41
Oh, come on, it's officially fiction...
:13:43
- I mean, I'm supposed to...
- No, no, I know, I know.
:13:46
I know, I thought...
:13:47
You know, there were times
when you made me a...
:13:48
Huh, I mean her, right?
:13:51
No, me...
Ok, whatever!
:13:53
Ah... a little bit neurotic!
:13:55
You are a little bit like
that, aren't you?
:13:57
- You think I'm neurotic?
- No, no, no, come on, I'm kidding!
