:38:16
Thought you didn't smoke.
:38:23
I took it up recently for my health.
:38:26
How are you, Mr. Rainey?
:38:29
Oh, I'm just peachy, Mr. Shooter.
How are you?
:38:32
Well, it sounded like you pitched a fit
or something in there.
:38:35
I don't think you're really
all that well.
:38:39
Stealing from another man, that don't
seem to have ever bothered you none.
:38:45
Being caught up on, though.
:38:48
Or maybe it's just that
successful writers like you...
:38:52
...throw tantrums when things
don't go the way they expect.
:38:56
Why didn't you get that magazine?
:38:58
You were down there at
her house today, weren't you?
:39:01
If I get this story
and I show it to you...
:39:05
...will you then kindly disappear?
:39:07
There isn't any magazine
with that story in it, Mr. Rainey.
:39:12
You and me, we know that.
:39:14
Okay, then.
:39:17
What can we do to make you
feel better?
:39:27
I want you to fix it.
:39:30
What would you like me to fix?
:39:31
My ending.
:39:33
The one you wrecked.
:39:36
I can't decide what's worse...
:39:38
...stealing my story
or ruining the ending.
:39:42
Mine was perfect.
:39:44
-I don't think I read your whole story.
-Oh, I bet you did.
:39:48
"'l know I can do it,'
Todd Downey said...
:39:53
...helping himself to another ear
of corn from the steaming bowl.
:39:57
'I'm sure that in time...
:39:59
...her death will be a mystery
even to me."'
