the man who wants to publish my book.
1:46:03
- My wife June.
- Hiya, Jack.
1:46:05
Nice to meet you, Mrs. Miller.
1:46:08
I feel I already know you intimately
from reading Henry's book.
1:46:11
Yeah? What do you think?
1:46:14
I think it's strong meat.
That's how we'll market it.
1:46:19
- What's our cut?
- Your cut?
1:46:21
Lt'll be 5%.
1:46:23
A crummy 5%?
1:46:27
Henry spends years
writing the book.
1:46:31
Lives like a bum.
Busts his nuts.
1:46:33
- Stay out of this, June.
- I scrape by and do without.
1:46:37
And pour my heart and soul in making him
some kind of Dostoyevsky.
1:46:41
And all we get is 5%?
1:46:43
With me, the percentage
will mean something.
1:46:46
What does "mean something" mean?
1:46:48
I believe it's a fair deal.
1:46:50
Well, I'll be.
1:46:52
Of course, if you don't want
to publish it...
1:46:56
Henry just doesn't get business.
1:47:00
Let's us talk.
1:47:02
By all means. But as I've said,
before we can do anything...
1:47:06
it's absolutely necessary to have
the money to print it.
1:47:10
Jack, I've told you.
I'll get the money.
1:47:23
I guess I was naive about
how things work in your business.
1:47:26
I hope I didn't upset you.
1:47:29
I was wondering if some advance
might be possible.
1:47:33
Or maybe there's room
to improve in the percentage.
1:47:37
Let's not discuss it now.
1:47:39
Here is not the place.
1:47:41
Maybe you know a place
where we could have lunch?
1:47:44
I certainly do.
A marvelous place.
1:47:49
It's done then.
It's been so good to meet you.
1:47:52
Really. It's been wonderful
having you.
1:47:54
You, too.
1:47:56
Good night.
