1:25:00
Well, anything you could
tell me might help.
1:25:04
Well, he was born in Worcester,
Massachusetts, 45 years ago,...
1:25:07
..the only child of Franklin and
Helene Sheldon, mediocre student...
1:25:10
That isn't exactly the kinda
information I'm after.
1:25:13
See, he's been missing
for some time now, and...
1:25:16
I know. It's so upsetting.
I'm his number one fan.
1:25:19
I've got all his books.
Every sentence he ever put down.
1:25:21
I'm so proud
of my Paul Sheldon collection.
1:25:26
Well, here I am prattling on
and my manners have just flown away.
1:25:30
I haven't invited you in. Please.
1:25:32
Thank you.
1:25:34
Of course, you must know
about that horrible accident.
1:25:38
- Mind if I take a look around?
- Of course not.
1:25:42
That accident almost killed me, too.
I prayed when I heard the news.
1:25:46
I got down on my knees
and I begged for it not to be true.
1:25:50
You're gonna laugh at what I'm about
to say, but go ahead, I don't care.
1:25:54
When I was praying,
God told me to get ready.
1:25:59
- Get ready for what?
- To be his replacement.
1:26:02
He gave so much pleasure
to so many people...
1:26:05
..and there's a shortage of pleasure
on the planet these days,...
1:26:08
..in case you hadn't noticed.
1:26:10
God told me,
since I was his number one fan,...
1:26:12
..that I should make up new stories
as if I was Paul Sheldon.
1:26:16
So I went to town, and I bought
a typewriter, and paper to type on,...
1:26:20
..the same kind Paul Sheldon used.
1:26:22
And I turned the guest bedroom into
a writing studio. Would you like to see it?
1:26:27
- Sure.
- It's right this way.
1:26:38
I know how he wrote. The kinds of words
he used, the wonderful stories he told...
1:26:44
I've spent the last four weeks
trying to write like Paul Sheldon,...
1:26:47
..but I can't do it right.
1:26:49
I try and I try, and I know all the words,
but it's just not the same.
1:26:54
Well, maybe it takes a while
to get the hang of it.
1:26:57
I could give you a coupla hundred pages
and you could tell me what you think.
