prosperity and security.
:35:06
He's a good man.
:35:11
Immigrant.
:35:36
Listen...
:35:38
I know a man.
:35:42
His name is Angus James, and he is a
big shot in the publishing business.
:35:45
Smart, adventurous,
tons of integrity.
:35:49
When the time is right, I'll
recommend he read your poem.
:35:52
He'll respect my opinion.
:35:58
That man was here again
today looking for you.
:36:01
A man? What man?
:36:04
You know. That guy.
:36:09
Why do they torment me like this?
Why?
:36:13
-They're like a bunch of mosquitoes.
-What do they want from you?
:36:16
They want to suffocate me, Simon.
To extinguish me like a flame.
:36:20
-Why?
-They're afraid. That's why.
:36:25
They're afraid of what I might do.
What I might say, think!
:36:28
They're afraid of my ideas. You
and I are alike in this way, Simon.
:36:33
We are?
:36:34
We are outsiders.
We think and feel too much and...
:36:37
too deeply.
And the world can't handle that.
:36:40
Our mere existence is a threat
to its illusion of security.
:36:42
Sure, they'll name awing of
a library after us when we're dead.
:36:46
But now where we are alive,
they want to burn us at the stake.
:36:52
Look, Simon...
:36:54
I made love to your mother
about half an hour ago...
:36:56
and now I'm beginning to think that
maybe it wasn't such a good idea.
