:10:01
Your faces!
:10:10
What's her name?
:10:12
Her name's Kally,
as in "California."

:10:14
It's where her folks were born,
only she's spelt with a "K."

:10:18
Oh, you should
have brought her along.

:10:20
Naw. We believe
in having separate friends.

:10:24
I met her in a creative
writing course in Pasadena.

:10:28
Yeah? What the hell
were you doing there?

:10:30
I was teaching it.
:10:31
I didn't know you went in
:10:32
for that
sort of thing.

:10:33
Which?
Teaching or seducing students?

:10:35
Huh? No. No, I don't
:10:39
if I can avoid it, you know
:10:40
but you got to subsidize
the old poetry somehow.

:10:43
I mean, come on.
:10:44
If poetry's going
to mean anything

:10:46
you got to take it
directly to the people.

:10:48
[ Chris ]
That is pure paranoia.

:10:49
[ Chris ]
That is pure paranoia.

:10:50
Anybody who wants to
:10:51
can read poetry.
:10:53
Yeah, but they don't
want to, do they?

:10:55
'Cause they're told what?
:10:56
It's... It's
a minority taste.

:10:57
Late night slot.
:10:59
You know,
pigeon fancying...

:11:01
goat fucking...
:11:03
whatever it is
they fucking get up to.

:11:05
I see... I see loads
of poetry in the shops.

:11:07
But you don't see poetry
in the shops, Marion.

:11:10
You see
golfing limericks

:11:12
and jolly
historical ballads.

:11:14
Dead, unthreatening stuff.
:11:17
There's nothing vital!
:11:18
There's nothing...
:11:20
Hey! Hey! Hey!
:11:21
Nothing about
what's happening now.

:11:23
Sorry, baby.
:11:25
What you actually mean is
nobody stocks your books.

:11:31
Exactly.
:11:33
Bastards.
