:08:01
- Jack, you said you were getting a car.
- If I knew it was Tuesday, I would've. Sorry.
:08:06
That's all right.
:08:08
Whaddaya say we spin that roulette wheel
while we're there?
:08:12
Sounds great.
:08:23
Jack.
:08:24
- Yeah?
- She can't leave now.
:08:26
- Why not?
- What do you mean, "Why not?"
:08:29
- Oh, my God.
- I'm your biggest fan!
:08:32
- I read all your books.
- Thank you.
:08:35
I'm so happy to see you.
:08:39
- This is my publisher. Gloria Horne.
- Oh, your publisher.
:08:43
- And this is...
- You are Mr. Wilder?
:08:46
No, I'm Mr. Colton. Jack Colton.
:08:49
What do you do, Mr. Colton?
:08:51
Casino work.
:08:53
Yeah. I think I'll go downstairs and punch in.
Excuse me, excuse me.
:08:58
- But...
- I'll be back!
:09:02
God, I've got to have a drink!
:09:04
Literary functions are not Jack's speed.
:09:06
I mean, his favorite author
is the man who wrote "Pull Tab to Open".
:09:10
- I am his favorite author.
- You saying it's none of my business?
:09:14
Let me tell you, Jack is not the marrying kind.
:09:17
I am worried. You're the girl who
never gets a book back late to the library.
:09:21
You are three months past your deadline.
What gives? Un scotch, double.
:09:26
My heart just isn't in it. Romance
just doesn't seem real to me any more.
:09:31
Real? You don't write "real". You write
about people that sail off into the sunset.
:09:35
- And the next day when the sun comes up?
- There is no next day in romance.
:09:40
Stop confusing real life
with a romantic novel.
:09:43
- Joanie, just finish it.
- I can't.
:09:47
After 17 books,
I don't know how it ends any more.
:09:50
Then permit me to tell you.
:09:56
It doesn't end.
:09:58
It only begins anew
when you journey down the Nile with me.
