Laroche is such a fun character.
:44:06
- Yeah.
- It's funny and fresh.
:44:08
And sad in a way.
:44:11
So we were wondering what's next.
:44:13
Well, Random House has asked me...
:44:16
...to expand it into a book,
so I'm gonna be doing that.
:44:19
- And...
- Susan, we would like to option this.
:44:24
- You wanna make it into a movie?
- Into a movie.
:44:27
Oh, God!
:44:30
- That's really...
- How does that sound?
:44:33
- That's very exciting.
- Good.
:44:35
It's just comical. I hadn't thought of it.
I've never written a screenplay before.
:44:39
Don't worry about that. We have
screenwriters to write the screenplay.
:44:46
Hey, superstar.
It's Marty, super agent.
:44:49
I just wanna remind you
it's been 13 weeks...
:44:52
...and Valerie's anxious
to see a draft.
:44:54
So if you could wrap things up and
get it to her by Monday, that'd be great.
:44:57
Call me when you get this.
Adios, amigo.
:45:04
What? What'd you laugh at?
:45:09
- You're a genius.
- Which line?
:45:11
You're a genius.
You're a genius.
:45:38
"We see orchid hunter
Augustus Margary.
:45:41
He wears a filthy, spittle-soaked
rag around his head to quell the pain.
:45:45
The back of his trousers are stained
greasy black from an anal leakage...
:45:49
...due to dysentery.
:45:51
He moans with each tentative step
through the overgrown jungle."
:45:56
I'm fucked.
:45:58
We open with Laroche. He's funny.
He says, "I love to mutate plants."
