:45:00
l don't think you people
read things.

:45:04
The men...
:45:05
The men are dueling...
:45:08
when this conversation
takes place.

:45:10
At the end,
one of them falls into a well

:45:13
and has to be hauled up...
:45:16
in a bucket.
:45:21
Would you write that
in a book of your own?

:45:23
Of course l wouldn't.
:45:26
l inherited
this absurd situation.

:45:31
Let me ask you,
:45:33
do you ever go to the movies?
:45:36
Rarely.
:45:38
Because people are always
dueling

:45:40
and falling down wells?
:45:41
And talking a load of rubbish!
:45:42
Listen...
:45:45
has your office got
a stove in it

:45:47
that lights with a match?
:45:48
l think so.
:45:50
Suppose you're in your office.
:45:53
You've been fighting duels
all day.

:45:55
You're exhausted.
:45:58
This is you.
:46:05
A girl comes in.
:46:27
She doesn't see you.
:46:33
She takes off her gloves.
:46:38
She opens her purse.
:46:39
She dumps it out on the table.
:46:42
You watch her.
:46:47
This is you.
:46:52
Now...
:46:56
She has two dimes, a matchbox
and a nickel.
