:52:02
I can't sleep.
:52:06
I'm losing my hair.
I'm fat and repulsive.
:52:09
Shh. You're not. You're not.
:52:13
Just whittle it down, you know?
:52:18
Focus on one thing in the story.
:52:21
Find that one thing...
:52:23
...that you care passionately about...
:52:27
...and then write about that.
:52:29
We see Susan Orlean:
Delicate, haunted by loneliness...
:52:32
...fragile, beautiful.
:52:34
She lies awake next to her sleeping,
insensitive husband.
:52:38
Her voice-over begins:
:52:39
"I suppose I do
have one unembarrassed passion.
:52:44
I want to know how it feels to care
about something passionately."
:52:51
- Hey.
- Morning.
:52:53
Hey, you two. Up early for a change?
:52:58
- You seem chipper.
- I'm good. I have some new ideas.
:53:02
God, you guys are so smart.
It's like a brain factory in here.
:53:07
- I got some ideas too this morning.
- He got really, really good ones.
:53:12
You know, in a Donald sort of way.
:53:14
I'm putting...
Hey! What?
:53:19
I'm putting in a chase sequence.
So the killer...
:53:22
...flees on horseback with the girl.
The cop's after them on a motorcycle.
:53:25
And it's like a battle between
motors and horses.
:53:28
Like technology versus horse.
:53:31
And they're still all one person, right?
:53:34
Well, that's the big payoff.
:53:36
- It sounds exciting.
- Thanks, man.
:53:39
- Thanks.
- See, I told you he was gonna like it.
:53:42
- You're my muse. You are.
- I love being your muse.
:53:47
I'm so happy about that.
:53:51
I'm picking up an order for Kaufman.
