He wears a filthy, spittle-soaked
rag around his head to quell the pain.

:46:09
He moans with each tentative step
through the overgrown jungle."
:46:15
I'm fucked.

We open with Laroche. He's funny.
He says, "I love to mutate plants."
:46:21
He says, "Mutation is fun."
Okay, we show flowers and... Okay.
:46:24
We have to have the court case.
We show Laroche.
:46:26
He says, "I was mutated as a baby.
That's why I'm so smart."
:46:28

:46:31
- Laroche is driving into the swamp.

I can't structure this. It's that
sprawling New Yorker shit.
:47:33
Man, I'd fuck her up the ass.
:47:37
- Sorry.
- The book has no story. There's no story.
:47:40
All right. Make one up.
:47:42
I mean, nobody in this town
can make up a crazy story like you.
:47:46
- You're the king of that.
- No, I didn't want to do that this time.
:47:50
It's someone else's material.
I have a responsibility to Susan...
:47:54
Anyway, I wanted to grow as a writer.
