:58:02
- What?
- You'll have to do it over again.
:58:05
It's not worthy of you. Throw it all out.
:58:07
Except for naming the gravedigger
after me - you can leave that in.
:58:13
I really value your criticism,
but maybe we're being a little hasty here.
:58:17
Paul, what you've written just isn't fair.
:58:20
- Not fair?
- That's right.
:58:22
When I was growing up in Bakersfield
my favourite thing...
:58:25
..was to go to the movies on Saturdays
for the chapter plays.
:58:28
- Cliffhangers.
- I know that, Mister Man!
:58:31
They also call them serials.
I'm not stupid, you know!
:58:37
Anyway, my favourite was Rocket Man,
and once it was a no-brakes chapter.
:58:42
The bad guys stuck him in a car
on a mountain road, knocked him out,...
:58:45
..tore out the brakes
and started him to his death.
:58:48
And he woke up and tried to get out,...
:58:50
..but the car went off a cliff before he
could escape, and crashed and burned,...
:58:54
..and I was so upset and excited!
And the next week I was first in line.
:58:58
They start with the end of the last week,...
:59:00
..and there was Rocket Man trying
to get out, and here comes the cliff,...
:59:04
..and just before the car went off the cliff
he jumped free, and all the kids cheered!
:59:10
But I didn't cheer.
I stood right up and started shouting...
:59:13
.."This isn't what happened last week!
Have you all got amnesia?"
:59:17
"They just cheated us! This isn't fair!
He didn't get out of the cockadoodie car!"
:59:30
They always cheated like that
in cl... chapter plays.
:59:33
But not you. Not with my Misery.
:59:37
Ian did ride for Dr Cleary at the end
of the last book, but his horse fell...
:59:42
..and lan broke his shoulder and ribs
and never reached the doctor,...
:59:45
..so there couldn't be any experimental
blood transfusion that saved her life.
:59:50
Misery was buried in the ground at the
end, Paul, so you'll have to start there.
