:01:02
Well, the risk is doing it too much.
:01:04
lt's a distraction. lt could
give the piece a run-on feeling.
:01:07
But for the most part,
the rule on ''and'' or ''but''...
:01:10
...at the start is still pretty shaky.
:01:12
Even though it's taught
in many schools by many teachers.
:01:16
Some of the best writers
have ignored that rule for years...
:01:19
...including you.
:01:23
Well, you've taken...
:01:25
...something which was mine...
:01:28
...and made it yours.
:01:29
That's quite an accomplishment.
:01:33
Thank you.
:01:35
The title is still mine, isn't it?
:01:39
l guess.
:01:40
Now, it was the neighborhood
that changed. Not me.
:01:44
l ain't seen nothing change.
:01:46
You ''ain't seen nothing''?
:01:47
What in the hell kind
of sentence is that? Huh?
:01:51
When you're in here,
don't talk like you do out there.
:01:54
l was messing with you, man.
lt was a joke.
:02:01
l want to hear
about the neighborhood...
:02:03
...back when people
still read your book.
:02:06
What did you say?
:02:11
Nothing.
:02:12
You said, ''back when people
still read my book.''
:02:17
Didn't you?
:02:25
We have 24 copies.
:02:28
But l'm sorry. They're checked out.
:02:31
Oh. Well, thank you, anyway.
:02:34
You're welcome.
:02:40
Any luck?
:02:43
Did you get on the waiting list?
:02:45
Yeah, man, your book was checked out.
:02:48
And yes...
:02:50
...l did pay for dinner.
:02:52
lt cost me $1 3,
so l guess you made your point.
:02:56
l called to see what kind of
food you wanted, but it kept ringing.
