1:38:24
This is it. The very first copy.
1:38:27
The word I'm getting
is the Times review will be a love letter.
1:38:30
That'll be a first.
1:38:32
And my contacts at Time and Newsweek
say they're both raves.
1:38:35
And don't laugh, but I think
you've got a shot at some prizes.
1:38:39
Great.
1:38:40
I thought you'd be thrilled.
You're being taken seriously.
1:38:44
I'm delighted the critics are liking it
and I hope the people like it, too.
1:38:49
But... I wrote it for me.
1:38:52
Now, don't think
I'm completely nuts, but...
1:38:56
..in some way... Annie Wilkes...
1:39:00
..that whole experience, uh...
1:39:04
..helped me.
1:39:06
Paul, since you brought her up,...
1:39:08
..l have to ask this or I'll be
drummed out of the agents' union.
1:39:11
How would you feel about
a non-fiction book about what went on?
1:39:15
Gee, if I didn't know better
I'd think you were suggesting...
1:39:18
..l dredge up the worst horror
of my life just to make a few bucks.
1:39:22
I thought you were over it.
1:39:24
I don't know if anyone could totally
get over something like that.
1:39:28
It's weird.
1:39:31
Even though I know she's dead,...
1:39:34
..l still think about her once in a while.
1:39:37
Excuse me. I don't mean to bother you,
but are you Paul Sheldon?
1:39:41
Yes.
1:39:43
I just wanna tell you
I'm your number one fan.
1:39:46
That's very sweet of you.
