:37:03
What kind of a story?
:37:05
You know, like a good movie story.
:37:08
I am extremely sorry, but I do not
know the story of the Sound of Music.

:37:11
Not that terrible thing.
:37:15
You thought
the Sound of Music was terrible?

:37:18
Four times I saw that terrible movie.
:37:21
- You must've really hated it.
- Damned near killed my friend Eleanor.

:37:24
It did?
:37:25
In the balcony of the RKO 86th Street,
now torn down.

:37:29
- Yes?
- It was playing continuous.

:37:32
No intermission. Get it?
:37:37
Not quite.
:37:39
Her bladder burst.
:37:43
- There's a lesson there for all of us.
- What about my story?

:37:47
I'm planning to have a nightmare.
You can listen in.

:37:50
What about all those stories
you got in your suitcase?

:37:52
They are works in progress.
:37:55
Listen, read me
some of your works in progress.

:37:57
- I'm interested. I really am.
- You would not understand my work.

:38:00
How do you know?
:38:01
It has no beautiful people,
no hit songs, no happy ending.

:38:07
Maybe I could show you
where you went wrong.

:38:10
I know when I went wrong.
:38:11
I went wrong when I opened my door
at 2:00 this morning.

:38:14
Read me some of your stuff and
I promise I'll never ask you anything again.

:38:17
Listen, I dig the sound of your voice.
Honest. It's very enervating.

:38:21
You know what that means?
:38:23
I told you. Come on, read me a story.
:38:27
I don't want to read you my story.
:38:30
Isn't there any other way
you can fall asleep?

:38:34
- I'll read you my story.
- Great.

:38:38
I'm a terrific audience, you'll see.
:38:40
- I bet I'm asleep before Page 2.
- That would be a compliment.
