:34:00
l turned it in.
:34:02
l turned it in.
l had to show them something.

:34:06
You promised me anything we wrote
in here would stay in here.

:34:10
l know!
:34:15
-l just thought--
-Shut up.

:34:22
What are they telling you?
:34:26
l go on probation unless l write
a letter saying l was wrong.

:34:30
Then write the letter.
:34:32
l said l'm not writing anything.
:34:34
You got him, he gets you.
Write the letter.

:34:38
And you'd let him do that?
:34:42
ls this supposed to be
another damn lesson?

:34:45
l'm tired of all these lessons
every time l come here.

:34:50
So your title's
at the top of my paper.

:34:52
-What's the lesson in that?
-l'm not the one who turned it in.

:34:56
Yeah, but you were the one
who just had to say:

:34:59
''Keep this one here because
it got printed in The New Yorker.''

:35:03
That's all you had to say, man.
:35:07
-l could use some help on this one.
-Oh, no. That's not an option.

:35:11
-You don't even have to go--
-l said that's not an option.

:35:15
That's all right, man.
:35:17
Got a nice history
of people not helping me.

:35:20
Oh, Christ. Not that self-pity,
father bullshit.

:35:23
What did you say?
:35:30
Man, fuck you, William!
:35:33
The real bullshit
is me taking it on this one...

:35:35
...because you won't
walk out the door...

:35:37
...and do something for somebody else.
You're too damn scared, man!

:35:42
That's the only damn reason.
:35:45
You don't know
a goddamn thing about reasons.

:35:48
There are no reasons!
:35:50
Reasons why some of us live
and why some of us don't.

:35:53
Fortunately, you have decades
to figure that out.

:35:56
What's the reason for having a cabinet
full of writing nobody ever reads?
