:07:02
Um, in my stories,
Anyway,
:07:05
uh, you can see what's coming, but you don't see
everything that's coming. just pick up what you can.
:07:09
Note his work habits.
:07:12
See if there's a method
to his madness.
:07:14
And... above all...
:07:17
throw yourself in headlong and just
do whatever it is he wants you to do.
:07:22
ln my opinion, there is no better opening to any story
than the opening of The Mouse Crawling Between the Walls.
:07:25
l mean, the first lines--
''Tom woke up, but Tim did not.''
:07:30
Daddy, l had a dream.
:07:33
l heard a sound.
:07:36
Uh, what sort of sound, Ruth?
:07:38
lt's in the house,
but it's trying to be quiet.
:07:51
Well, let's go look for it then.
:07:54
lt's a sound that's trying to be quiet?
What did it sound like?
:07:58
lt was a sound like someone
trying not to make a sound.
:08:15
Your penis looks funny.
:08:19
My penis is funny.
:08:23
Come out sound.
Come out sound.
:08:27
l'll tell you a story
about a different sound.
:08:31
One night when Thomas
was just your age,
:08:34
and Timothy was still in diapers,
:08:37
Tommy heard a sound.
Did they both wake up?
:08:42
Oh, Tom woke up,
:08:44
but Tim did not.
:08:48
And Tom woke up his father...
:08:51
and asked him,
''Did you hear that sound?
:08:56
There's the sound again,''
Tom whispered to his Father.
