:52:11
l don't know how to do this.
:52:13
l'm afraid l'll disappoint you.
:52:16
You've written a beautiful book.
:52:20
l can't sleep.
:52:24
l'm losing my hair.
l'm fat and repulsive.
:52:27
Shh. You're not. You're not.
:52:31
Just whittle it down, you know?
:52:36
Focus on one thing in the story.
:52:39
Find that one thing...
:52:41
... that you care passionately about...
:52:45
...and then write about that.
:52:47
We see Susan Orlean:
delicate, haunted by loneliness...
:52:50
...fragile, beautiful.
:52:52
She lies awake next to her sleeping,
insensitive husband.
:52:56
Her voice-over begins:
:52:57
'' l suppose l do
have one unembarrassed passion.
:53:01
l want to know how it feels to care
about something passionately.''
:53:09
-Hey.
-Morning.
:53:11
Hey, you two. Up early for a change?
:53:16
-You seem chipper.
-l'm good. l have some new ideas.
:53:20
God, you guys are so smart.
lt's like a brain factory in here.
:53:25
-l got some ideas too this morning.
-He got really, really good ones.
:53:30
You know, in a Donald sort of way.
:53:32
l'm putting--
Hey! What?
:53:37
l'm putting in a chase sequence.
So the killer...
:53:40
...flees on horseback with the girl.
The cop's after them on a motorcycle.
:53:43
And it's like a battle between
motors and horses.
:53:46
Like technology versus horse.
:53:49
And they're still all one person, right?
:53:52
Well, that's the big payoff.
:53:54
-lt sounds exciting.
-Thanks, man.
:53:57
-Thanks.
-See, l told you he was gonna like it.
