:04:00
and you betray your own thoughts.
:04:02
To rethink the flow and the rhythm
and the tumbling out of the words...
:04:06
is a betrayal.
:04:08
And it's a sin, Martin.
It's a sin.
:04:10
I don't accept your, uh...
:04:12
Catholic interpretation
of my compulsive, uh...
:04:16
necessity to rewrite
every single word at least 1 00 times.
:04:20
Guilt is -Thanks.
Guilt is the key, not sin.
:04:24
Guilt re not writing
the best that I can.
:04:27
Guilt re not, uh, considering everything
from every possible angle.
:04:31
Balancing everything.
:04:33
Well, how about guilt
re censoring your best thoughts?
:04:38
Your most honest,
primitive, real thoughts...
:04:40
because that's what your laborious
rewriting amounts to, Martin.
:04:45
Is rewriting really censorship, Bill?
:04:47
Because I'm completely fucked if it is.
:04:50
Exterminate all rational thought.
:04:53
That is the conclusion I have come to.
:04:55
What is the man talking about?
I'm being serious.
:04:58
So is he.
:05:03
So how is the extermination business
going there, Bill?
:05:06
Somebody's stealing my roach powder.
Somebody's got it in for me.
:05:10
Hmm. Well, Bill,
maybe you should take it as a sign.
:05:13
Maybe you ought to try your hand
at writing pornography.
:05:15
Yeah, a novel a week at 120 bucks.
It's serious money.
:05:18
I can connect you with the guy.
:05:20
We're thinking of
collaborating on one ourselves.
:05:23
I gave up writing when I was 1 0.
:05:27
- Too dangerous.
- Only if someone reads what you write.
:05:30
So far we haven't had that problem.
:05:32
I've found my profession.
I'm an exterminator.
:05:34
Of course, Bill. That's just what the world needs-
more literate exterminators.
:05:38
Give me a cigarette.
:05:44
Of course, then, you know...
:05:46
you're gonna have trouble
if you can't keep track of your roach powder.
:05:57
Wait a minute.
Do you boys know something about this?
