Hello, Grace. Two seconds..
Good news.
1:00:13
I went back to the meeting last night.
1:00:17
I wasn't going to let them get off so easily.
1:00:22
But I'll be damned if the mood hadn't changed.
1:00:26
I wouldn't say we won exactly, not exactly,
but I think something very good can come out of this,
1:00:30
- something very good.
- Why didn't you come back and tell me?
1:00:32
I did, but you were asleep.
1:00:36
And you know,
you looked like you needed it..
1:00:39
and that made me suggest
that maybe you should have some time off.
1:00:42
And you know,
not one single person objected.
1:00:51
That sounds wonderful.
1:00:53
I know it does, doesn't it?
1:00:55
The people of this town
they surprise me again and again.
1:01:00
I might even have to revise
my theories a little bit.
1:01:03
You know how much I hate
doing that kind of thing.
1:01:08
You know, Grace, last night when I came back
and I saw you lying there asleep so sweetly,
1:01:16
I was suddenly inspired.
I wrote the first chapter of a story.
1:01:22
A story about a small town.
1:01:25
Guess where I got the inspiration?
1:01:27
But I haven't come up with a name
for the town yet.
1:01:31
- Why not just call it Dogville?
- Wouldn't work.
1:01:35
No, it wouldn't work. It's got to be universal.
Lot of writers make that mistake, you see.
1:01:40
Hey, do you want me to read it to you?
1:01:42
If there is any love in it, it comes from you...
1:01:45
Would you be offended, if I said no?
1:01:49
- No.
- If I really do have the day to myself, I...
1:01:53
No. No..
1:01:57
Two people only hurt each other if they
doubt the love they have for one another.
