:02:00
So, what do you do here?
:02:02
Think great thoughts?
:02:05
Teach, mainly.
:02:06
What do they do, sit at your feet
and gaze up at you in awe?
:02:10
No, not at all.
:02:13
I bet they do.
:02:16
We have some fine old battles in here,
I can tell you that.
:02:20
Which you win.
:02:28
Must be quite a boost for you,
being older...
:02:30
and wiser than all of them.
:02:34
Not to mention your readers.
:02:36
What?
:02:38
Your readers.
Oh. That gang of friends of yours...
:02:43
all very well trained
not to play out of bounds.
:02:46
- What are you talking about?
- And of course there's Warnie.
:02:49
Not much competition there.
:02:51
That's nonsense.
:02:53
What about Christopher Riley?
He never lets me get away with anything.
:02:56
- You know that.
- Except doubt and...
:02:59
fear and pain and terror.
:03:04
- Where did all that come from?
- I've only now just seen it.
:03:07
How you've arranged a life for yourself
where no one can touch you.
:03:13
Everyone that's close to you
is either younger than you...
:03:16
or weaker than you,
or under your control.
:03:20
Why are you getting at me?
I thought we were friends.
:03:26
I don't know
that we are friends.
:03:29
Not the way
you have friends, anyway.
:03:33
- Sorry, Jack.
- I don't understand.
:03:36
Oh, I think you do.
:03:38
You just don't like it.
:03:40
Nor do I.
