I'm a published author,
both in magazine and book form.

:15:03
And I have extensive experience
with orchids...

:15:06
...and the asexual micropropagation
of orchids under aseptic cultures.

:15:11
That's laboratory work.
It's not at all like your nursery work.

:15:17
I'm probably the smartest person
I know.

:15:20
- Thank you.
- You're very welcome.

:15:26
Mr. Laroche?
I'm Susan Orlean.

:15:29
I'm a writer for The New Yorker.
It's a magazine that...

:15:31
I'm familiar with The New Yorker.
:15:34
"The New Yorker?
Yes, The New Yorker." Right?

:15:37
That's right.
:15:39
I'm very interested in doing a piece
on your situation here, and...

:15:42
Yeah? Yeah.
:15:44
You wanna put this in?
:15:46
I don't care what goes on here.
:15:48
I'm right, and I'll take it all the way
to Supreme Court.

:15:51
Because that judge can screw herself.
:16:00
- That for real would go in?
- Absolutely.

:16:12
We open on State Road 29.
:16:15
A battered white van speeds along,
making a sharp, skidding right...

:16:18
...into the Fakahatchee Strand
State Preserve.

:16:21
The driver of the van is a skinny man
with no front teeth.

:16:25
This is John Laroche.
:16:29
I need a break.
:16:32
- I loved the Sibelius violin concerto.
- Yeah, me too. It was great.

:16:36
- The end was a little weird, but...
- Oh, no! God, it was passionate.

:16:40
It was exultant.
:16:41
The soloist was amazing.
Such beautiful tones. So precise.

:16:46
God, it blows my mind.
:16:48
- I wish I could play like that.
- You do.

:16:51
Charlie. I don't.
I'm mediocre at best.

:16:55
Well, I love listening to you play.
:16:57
Thanks, Charlie.
