I imagine your friend
Maurice is hoping to have his wicked will, is he?
:39:08
Not today, is he?
:39:19
You and I
are much the some age, aren't we, John?
:39:22
I think so.
:39:25
Does it matter?
:39:26
No.
:39:28
It's not important, is it?
:39:30
What Maurice means is that most of my real...
:39:33
...my other friends are -- older than me.
:39:36
Much older.
:39:38
Yes, and there's a
very good reason for that, isn't there?
:39:40
She likes people with a bit of a past.
:39:45
She uses them... Don't you?
:39:47
No I don't.
:39:49
For your novel, don't you Iris?
:39:51
-I haven't read it
-Haven't you?
:39:53
Neither have you Maurice, so don't play games.
:39:56
Nobody reads it.
:40:00
The gentle lady hasn't yet
bestowed her favour on anyone.
:40:03
Iris doesn't like to talk about it. Do you Iris?
:40:07
It's because it's full of people she knows.
:40:10
All these masters of thought
you're so chummy with.
:40:13
Bound to be. We all know. Isn't it, Iris?
:40:18
No. You can think what you like,
you know nothing about it.
:40:21
Nobody knows but me.
:40:23
And -- I'm not telling.
:40:25
I thought it was as secret?
:40:27
I know Iris doesn't want it talked about.
:40:29
Come on, Iris,
I'm sure we'll all recognise ourselves.
:40:32
I don't see how you -- anyone can.
:40:35
They won't. They won't.
:40:38
I hate that sort of thing. I won't ever do it.
:40:40
I don't see the point
of writing a novel that's autobiography.
:40:42
There's no fun in that.
:40:43
They won't see themselves.
:40:45
Don't people written about in novels
always see themselves differently?
:40:48
-I'm sure they do, but...
-And who was it who said:
:40:51
"You can use anyone you like in a novel...
:40:53
...as long as you
drop it in somewhere that they're good in bed...
:40:56
-...even though..."
-...they might not be.
