:23:02
Maybe this isn't a great house, I don't know.
:23:03
Maybe somebody will think it's an oddball...
:23:07
but we can't try to please them all.
:23:09
- You trying to say this is what I do?
- No, Rog, I don't know what you do.
:23:13
I read both your books.
I like them pretty well, but...
:23:18
Boy, I'd love to see what would happen
if you really broke loose.
:23:21
Don't you think that's what I want to do?
:23:23
Then do it. Write a book that you like,
and to hell with the critics.
:23:28
You don't know.
:23:30
Rog, I know one thing.
:23:32
You've got to find out
what's important to you.
:23:36
Sure, now this house is important to me.
:23:39
And I was hoping you'd like it, but...
:23:43
If you don't like it, we shake hands
and say goodbye. It's as simple as that.
:23:57
You know something?
I think it's a great house.
:24:05
Are you sure
I haven't talked you into anything?
:24:09
Yeah, I think you did. Thanks.
:24:13
There are a few improvements
I'd like to make.
:24:15
- You know, this is an oddball house.
- You're an oddball character.
:24:18
Look, let's take it one room at a time.
:24:22
Hey, Maggie.
:24:32
What did you call me?
:24:34
Maggie. Why, something wrong with that?
:24:38
No, nothing. How are you?
:24:40
Fine. I feel just like I own
Southern California.
:24:42
Altar just gave me the green light
on the house.
:24:44
Of course, he doesn't know
it's going to roll down into the street.
:24:48
That's wonderful. Congratulations.
:24:49
I couldn't have done it without you
holding the tape. I owe you a commission.
:24:53
How about an ice-cream cone
or a Coke or something?
:24:56
Thanks, but I can't, really. I'm late now.
