I wanted to use it once
and erased everything.

:19:04
It's easy. You want to see?
:19:05
It's a typewriter with memory.
:19:08
That's what's scary.
A memory without memories.

:19:11
No, I'll trust you.
:19:16
This is it.
There's a lot of it.

:19:18
I see...
:19:22
Some is typed, some handwritten.
:19:24
I write legibly
but I've changed and added things.

:19:28
I'd prefer to dictate.
:19:30
I know it still needs work.
:19:34
Things to be cut.
:19:36
I want your suggestions
and your criticism.

:19:40
You won't offend me.
:19:43
Excuse me.
Can you tell me what it's...

:19:46
I wrote a synopsis for the editor.
:19:51
It would be best that you read it.
:20:06
The Leeward Islands
are in Polynesia?

:20:09
When were you there?
:20:10
My first post, after the war.
:20:12
It's where they send young judges,
and unfortunate elders

:20:16
of dubious value.
:20:18
A sort of tropical exile.
:20:24
A ''high proficiency judge''...
:20:26
It means nothing.
:20:28
It's the story: a young fool,
full of lofty ideals,

:20:32
thinking himself justice incarnate,
:20:34
is parachuted into an earthly
paradise where no one gives a damn.

:20:38
A sort of travel story.
:20:40
An initiatory one.
:20:42
In the style
of a violent deflowering.

:20:49
Shall we begin?
:20:51
Does the light bother you?
:20:54
Is there a reflection
on the screen?

:20:56
I'm fine.
:20:57
Once it's dark,
the lamp should be strong enough.
