He says, "Mutation is fun."
Okay, we show flowers and... Okay.

:46:05
We have to have the court case.
We show Laroche.

:46:07
He says, "I was mutated as a baby.
That's why I'm so smart."

:46:10
That's funny. Okay, we open
at the beginning of time. No!

:46:12
- Laroche is driving into the swamp.
- Crazy white man!

:46:21
I don't know how to adapt this.
I should have stuck with my own stuff.

:46:25
I don't know why I thought
I could write this.

:46:27
See her?
:46:29
I fucked her up the ass.
:46:31
No. I'm kidding.
:46:36
Maybe I can help.
:46:44
It's about flowers.
:46:47
Okay.

Man, I'd fuck her up the ass.
:47:18
- Sorry.
- The book has no story. There's no story.

:47:21
All right. Make one up.
:47:23
I mean, nobody in this town
can make up a crazy story like you.

:47:27
- You're the king of that.
- No, I didn't want to do that this time.

:47:31
It's someone else's material.
I have a responsibility to Susan...

:47:36
Anyway, I wanted to grow as a writer.
I wanted to do something simple.

:47:40
Show people how amazing
flowers are.

:47:44
Are they amazing?
:47:47
I don't know. I think they are.
:47:54
- I need you to get me out of this.
- All right.

:47:58
Charlie, you've been stringing
