:05:02
Oh, come on, Miles.
Don't be so modest. Indulge them.
:05:06
- Don't make me out to be a liar.
- What is the subject of your book?
:05:09
- Nonfiction?
- Uh, no. It's- It's a novel.
:05:11
- Fiction. Yes.
- Oh.
:05:13
Although there is quite a bit
from my own life...
:05:16
so I suppose that, technically,
some of it is nonfiction.
:05:19
Good. I like nonfiction.
:05:21
There is so much to know
about this world.
:05:24
I think you read something somebody
just invented it, waste of time.
:05:28
That's an interesting perspective.
:05:30
- So, which one do you like better?
- Oh, well, I like them both.
:05:34
But, um, if pressed, I would have to say
that I prefer the dark.
:05:37
Told ya.!
:05:39
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
:05:48
- Bye.
- Bye.
:05:56
Bye.
:05:58
Where the fuck were you, man? Huh?
I was dying in there.
:06:01
- We're supposed to be a hundred miles away by now.
- I can't help the traffic.
:06:04
Oh, come on. You're fucking hangover.
You know you are.
:06:07
Okay, there was
a tasting last night, yes.
:06:09
But I wanted to get us something nice
for the ride up. Check out the box.
:06:13
Why did you tell them
that my novel was being published?
:06:16
- 'Cause you said you had it all lined up.
- No, I didn't. No. No.
:06:20
What I said was that there was
some interest at Conundrum.
:06:23
- Yeah. Conundrum.
- And that one of the editors was passing it to a senior editor.
:06:27
Sounds pretty good to me.
Sounds like you're in.
:06:29
No. It's a long shot.
:06:31
Besides, Conundrum,
it's just a small specialty press.
:06:34
I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
:06:36
You know? I've stopped caring.
:06:38
The hell with it.
I have stopped caring.
:06:41
It sounds like it's gonna happen this time.
I mean, I can feel it.
:06:44
I think this is the one. Huh?
:06:47
I'm really proud of you, man.
:06:49
- Don't open that now. It's warm.
- Why not?
:06:51
Jack, that is a 1992 Byron.
It's really rare. Okay?
:06:55
- I've been saving it. Don't-
- All right. I won't open it.
:06:57
Jack!
:06:59
Half of it gone.
