:21:02
No, that's fine.
:21:05
Look what I got. They had it at the store,
Paul. There was a whole batch of 'em.
:21:10
As soon as I saw it I slammed
my money down - I got the first copy.
:21:15
- Then the roads are open.
- The one to town is, but that's about it.
:21:18
I called the hospital and talked
to the head orthopaedic surgeon...
:21:22
..and I told him who you were
and what had happened.
:21:25
He said as long as there's no infection
you're not in any danger.
:21:30
As soon as the road to the hospital is
open they'll send an ambulance for you.
:21:34
The phones are working?
:21:37
Well, mine's still out, but the ones in town
were working fine. I called your agent.
:21:43
Oh, Paul, I peeked at the very beginning.
What a wonderful first page.
:21:48
- Just to read the name Misery Chastain...
- My daughter will be going nuts.
:21:51
- It's like a visit from my dearest friend.
- I should be home for her birthday today.
:21:58
The agent said she'd tell her you're OK,...
:22:00
..but you'll have to wait till tomorrow
to talk to her yourself.
:22:07
Oh, Paul... What a poet you are.
:22:19
I made you my specialty,
scrambled eggs à la Wilkes.
:22:24
And I'm on page 75.
:22:27
I guess that means it's OK.
:22:29
No.
:22:31
No, it isn't, it's...
:22:34
Oh, pooh, I can't think of any words.
Would "great" be insulting?
:22:40
I can live with great.
:22:42
No... It's not just great, it's...
:22:48
..perfect.
:22:52
A perfect, perfect thing.
