:39:05
It's the book I was always meant to write.
:39:10
Well, he hasn't actually
written a word of it yet...
:39:15
but he says it's the nonfiction book
of the decade...
:39:18
so...
:39:21
So...
:39:23
what have you been doing?
:39:29
And I'll tell you...
:39:30

:39:35
Finally I had to break it to her that
of the four Matisses hanging on her wall...
:39:40
two were upside down.
:39:43
Can I have another, please?
:39:46
To answer your question,
I'm following Breakfast at Tiffany's...
:39:49
by blazing a different path.
:39:51
By inventing an entirely new kind of writing.
:39:54
The nonfiction novel.
:39:56
- You have a subject?
- Yes.
:39:58
On the night of November 14...
