:28:01
Okay. Okay.
:28:06
Okay. Oh, my girl.
:28:09
I'm gonna make you
some cinnamon toast.
:28:12
And I'll get you
a cup of tea too.
:28:15
Okay.
:28:30
I'm glad you're home. Thanks.
:28:33
She didn't know I was coming.
:28:35
Well, you know how
your mother is.
:28:38
If she'd known...
:28:40
she probably would've redecorated
your entire bedroom.
:28:44
What's that smell?
:28:46
Um, that is
an old writer's trick.
:28:52
Schiller believed that
his body sabotaged...
:28:55
the attention of his mind
while he was writing.
:28:57
So, he engaged his body...
:28:59
with a simple stimulant, apples...
:29:03
to free his mind.
:29:05
So far, all it's done for me is
make me hungry for apple pie à la mode.
:29:10
So, what have you been
working on recently?
:29:12
My interview with James Sullivan.
:29:15
- Senator Sullivan?
- Mm-hmm.
:29:18
That's impressive.
That's a big story.
:29:21
You know, I've been
meaning to ask you.
:29:24
Random House has been asking me
who I'd like to write...
:29:27
the introduction to Volume Two
of my Collected Essays.
:29:32
It's coming out in the spring.
:29:35
Feel free to say no,
but if you had the time...
:29:37
how would you feel
about writing the introduction?
:29:39
- Are you serious?
- Mm-hmm.
:29:43
- I would love to.
- Great. Great.
:29:48
They envision some biographical sketch
or interview perhaps.
:29:53
- I'll help you write
the questions, if you want.
- Okay.
:29:55
Here's some literary criticism...
:29:58
in case you haven't
seen any of that recently.
