:52:12
I don't know how to do this.
:52:14
I'm afraid I'll disappoint you.
:52:17
You've written a beautiful book.
:52:20
I can't sleep.
:52:24
I'm losing my hair.
I'm fat and repulsive.
:52:28
Shh. You're not. You're not.
:52:32
Just whittle it down, you know?
:52:37
Focus on one thing in the story.
:52:40
Find that one thing...
:52:42
...that you care passionately about...
:52:46
...and then write about that.
:52:48
We see Susan Orlean:
Delicate, haunted by loneliness...
:52:51
...fragile, beautiful.
:52:53
She lies awake next to her sleeping,
insensitive husband.
:52:56
Her voice-over begins:
:52:58
"I suppose I do
have one unembarrassed passion.
:53:02
I want to know how it feels to care
about something passionately."
:53:10
- Hey.
- Morning.
:53:12
Hey, you two. Up early for a change?
:53:17
- You seem chipper.
- I'm good. I have some new ideas.
:53:21
God, you guys are so smart.
It's like a brain factory in here.
:53:26
- I got some ideas too this morning.
- He got really, really good ones.
:53:31
You know, in a Donald sort of way.
:53:33
I'm putting...
Hey! What?
:53:38
I'm putting in a chase sequence.
So the killer...
:53:41
...flees on horseback with the girl.
The cop's after them on a motorcycle.
:53:44
And it's like a battle between
motors and horses.
:53:47
Like technology versus horse.
:53:50
And they're still all one person, right?
:53:52
Well, that's the big payoff.
:53:55
- It sounds exciting.
- Thanks, man.
:53:57
- Thanks.
- See, I told you he was gonna like it.
