- When's it published?
- Next year. How come you've read it?
:11:03
Your publisher sent me a manuscript.
I read it last night.
:11:07
You kept me up till 4:00.
:11:10
I'm flattered.
:11:12
Is your heroine
based on someone you know?
:11:15
Yes. She's someone called Alice.
:11:17
How does she feel
about you stealing her life?
:11:20
Borrowing her life.
:11:21
I'm dedicating the book to her.
She's pleased.
:11:33
Do you exhibit?
:11:34
Sometimes. I have a thing next year.
:11:43
Portraits?
:11:47
- Of who?
- Strangers.
:11:52
How do your strangers feel
about you stealing their lives?
:11:56
Borrowing.
:11:59
Am I a stranger?
:12:01
No. You're a job.
:12:05
And you're a sloucher. Sit up.
:12:13
You didn't find it obscene?
:12:15
- What?
- The book.
:12:18
I thought it was accurate.
:12:21
About what?
:12:22
About sex. About love.
:12:25
In what way?
:12:27
- You wrote it.
- You read it till 4:00.
:12:31
Don't raise your eyebrows.
It makes you look smug.
:12:42
- But you did like it?
- Yes, but I could go off it.
:12:52
Stand up.
:12:59
Any criticisms?
