Short filmTranscript
00:03:46I'm so glad you could make it.
00:03:48If you've got a minute, let's go through my day.
00:03:52You know, I'm sure that he would love to talk to you, uh, but he's in a meeting right now.
00:03:56And don't forget to change my shrink appointment.
00:03:58Got it.
00:04:00Oh, um, I need you to manage another release for me.
00:04:04There's nothing scheduled for months.
00:04:06It's for the e-book of Waking Eyes.
00:04:08We're tying in the new edition.
00:04:11I thought I thought that was coming out next fall.
00:04:13I thought you'd be the perfect person for the job.
00:04:21What?
00:04:22What?
00:04:22Well, your father's Milan's agent, right?
00:04:26Yeah, but, um...
00:04:27They sent me the ARCs.
00:04:28Get a list from publicity.
00:04:29Let's put our heads together.
00:04:35Alice.
00:04:37All right, look, I know it's not glamorous, but I'm putting my trust in you.
00:04:40Waking Eyes is a bestseller on our back list.
00:04:46All right, all right.
00:04:47Look, what if, uh, what if I read that manuscript you've been hounding me about?
00:04:53You will?
00:04:54Yeah, what's the girl's name?
00:04:55Karen Malone.
00:04:56Yeah, Karen.
00:04:57Malone.
00:04:58Okay.
00:04:58It's the best thing that I've read since I've been here.
00:05:00I said I'd read it.
00:05:02Okay, but we have to hurry because there might be some...
00:05:03Yes, Alan Mitchell, please.
00:05:05He's busy?
00:05:05Ah, well, fuck him.
00:05:07No, I don't want to leave a message.
00:05:11So you'll read the manuscript this week?
00:05:14Yes.
00:05:38Hey, you're doing the Waking Eyes release?
00:05:40Did you know they were moving it up?
00:05:42Yeah.
00:05:44That's the book that made me love books.
00:05:47I totally identified with her.
00:05:49Didn't you?
00:05:53Alice?
00:06:04Nice to meet you.
00:06:13Hey, sport!
00:06:15You having a good time?
00:06:16Okay.
00:06:16Yeah, say hi to everyone.
00:06:18Hi.
00:06:18Alice wrote a terrific short story.
00:06:21Last week.
00:06:22She's going to be the real deal.
00:06:25Oh, this is Malone Donaker.
00:06:27This is my daughter, Alice.
00:06:30Hey.
00:06:31It was a pleasure to meet you.
00:06:33Malone's one of your mother's undiscovered writers.
00:06:36She's written a book, a good book,
00:06:37and I'm going to make sure it sells.
00:06:39Yes, please.
00:06:40Yes.
00:06:41Yes.
00:06:44You've got to meet Annette, all right?
00:06:46Time's book with you.
00:06:48Okay.
00:06:48Play a little of that foreign charm.
00:06:50Yeah.
00:06:53She dodged the forced laughter
00:06:56and the vapid conversations.
00:07:01If she could just be...
00:07:03Oh, sorry.
00:07:06I was just looking around, and...
00:07:09It's okay.
00:07:11Can I?
00:07:12Will?
00:07:23So, how is it to grow up like this?
00:07:27Uh...
00:07:28It's a little lonely.
00:07:29That's what I thought, yes.
00:07:32Yeah.
00:07:36And you're a writer, too, yes?
00:07:38Um...
00:07:40I don't know.
00:07:43I would like to read your story.
00:07:47It's nothing.
00:07:49Why don't you let me decide?
00:08:17If she could just make herself small enough,
00:08:22completely unremarkable.
00:08:25I don't know.
00:08:51Hi, sorry.
00:08:52Here she is, late as usual.
00:08:56We were just discussing this new film with, um, what's his name?
00:09:02Flavor of the Month, you know who I mean.
00:09:03Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:09:04Have you seen it?
00:09:05Yeah, Sadie and I went to see it last weekend, actually.
00:09:09And?
00:09:12We kind of enjoyed it.
00:09:14Oh, I thought you were smarter than that.
00:09:16Did you know Alice won a Scholastic Writing Award when she was 16?
00:09:20Really?
00:09:20Oh, we'd like to order now.
00:09:22Um, what do you have, Sport?
00:09:24Oh, get the beef cheeks.
00:09:26They're fabulous here.
00:09:27She'll have the beef cheeks.
00:09:28Uh, you?
00:09:28Uh, pasta putinesca.
00:09:30Oh, I'll have the putinesca.
00:09:31You'll have the grilled chicken.
00:09:32Uh, Maya?
00:09:33She'll have the grilled cheese.
00:09:35No, no.
00:09:36Um, a half order of calamari and some fries for her.
00:09:42Yeah.
00:09:43Uh, make it a whole order.
00:09:44Kids love fried stuff.
00:09:45Here's to you, pal.
00:09:47Oh, what are we celebrating?
00:09:50Independent booksellers love the book.
00:09:52Word of mouth is fantastic.
00:09:55Congratulations.
00:09:55Thank you very much.
00:09:57Oh.
00:09:59Oh, I love watching you eat.
00:10:02I know.
00:10:03I know.
00:10:04You must.
00:10:04You invite him to dinner every night.
00:10:06Anna.
00:10:08That's great.
00:10:09So, here's to me.
00:10:11I discovered talented riders, develop them for years, and then you steal them away from
00:10:16me.
00:10:17Anna, you told me to get a new agent.
00:10:19We're getting some great press in the trades.
00:10:23Milan is making headway on the next one.
00:10:26Right?
00:10:27Mm.
00:10:27Right?
00:10:28Yes.
00:10:30I'm talking to you.
00:10:31You're drunk.
00:10:33Fuck you.
00:10:40I think you said that already.
00:10:46Cursing was one of the first words I knew in English.
00:10:49Really?
00:10:50Who taught you?
00:10:51The kid next door.
00:10:52Oh.
00:10:53Mm.
00:10:54Excuse me.
00:10:55I'm going to go freshen up.
00:11:00Delicious, huh?
00:11:02Mm.
00:11:03Delicious.
00:11:03Yes.
00:11:04Mm.
00:11:05Mm.
00:11:06That's yours.
00:11:50Come here.
00:12:16Hello, I'm here seeing Jeff Rose.
00:12:19Oh, yes.
00:12:20Okay.
00:12:34Oh, my God, look at you.
00:12:38Hey.
00:12:43Uh, what are you doing here?
00:12:47I just finished my first draft on my new book, so I'm here to deliver it.
00:12:52Are you kidding?
00:12:53We would have sent someone.
00:12:54It's a bet in person, isn't it?
00:12:55Congratulations.
00:12:56Finally something worth reading.
00:12:58Come into my office.
00:13:02It's been far too long.
00:13:06Hey, where'd you go?
00:13:07I'm coming.
00:13:08I'm coming.
00:13:14Well done.
00:13:16Finally.
00:13:18Great, there were two good.
00:13:19This bag.
00:13:21That's a good.
00:13:42Alice, where's my lunch?
00:13:45Oh, uh, Chez-Louis, 1 p.m.
00:13:48If I'd known you were going to drop by.
00:13:50But maybe I could have lunch with Alice.
00:13:53What?
00:13:54To celebrate.
00:13:56I actually, I can't.
00:13:58I've got...
00:13:59You have to eat.
00:14:00I really need...
00:14:01You could toss around some marketing ideas.
00:14:03You know what?
00:14:04She'd love to.
00:14:08Please.
00:14:29How are you?
00:14:30Good.
00:14:31Good, good.
00:14:33Good.
00:14:38So you're organising the release of the new edition, yes?
00:14:44Ironic, huh?
00:14:46That's nice.
00:14:48Tell me about your day.
00:14:50Uh, you know, school.
00:14:57How was yours?
00:14:59You know, writing.
00:15:02I'm glad you could meet me.
00:15:04Thank you very much.
00:15:06When can I read your story?
00:15:07It's like, no big deal.
00:15:10They, um, they just printed it because no one really submits stuff.
00:15:15And, um, um, you're kind of desperate.
00:15:19Come on.
00:15:39This line here is exactly how it feels like the first time you see someone that you maybe love.
00:15:48It's, uh, you're a writer.
00:15:56What about your writing?
00:16:00I'm mostly not.
00:16:01That's a shame.
00:16:05I read your new bio.
00:16:08It says that you're teaching a lot.
00:16:11Yes, I enjoy it.
00:16:13I'm sorry.
00:16:15You're one of the first and best students.
00:16:20I've got to go.
00:16:22Alice, I've missed you.
00:16:37Why don't you just say, hey, about that little thing that happened 15 years ago that you never owned up
00:16:43to or apologized for like you should have, you motherfucker.
00:16:46Sorry, Tyler.
00:16:47Okay, I should never have told you.
00:16:48Look, it's not a big deal.
00:16:50But he hurt you, Ali.
00:16:52You don't do publicity for someone who hurt you.
00:16:54It's my job.
00:16:56I thought your job was to help find and edit new and wonderful novels.
00:16:59Tell that to Jack.
00:17:01Why don't you?
00:17:02Will you help me?
00:17:03Besides the fact that I think it's a terrible idea.
00:17:06What could I do?
00:17:07You're a successful web designer.
00:17:10Alice, okay, fine.
00:17:12You're a semi-successful web designer whose best friend thinks she's brilliant.
00:17:18Yeah, who gave up her not-so-stellar career to be a mommy.
00:17:22I need to build more of a web presence for the book.
00:17:25Oh, that's a great idea.
00:17:27Sadie, please.
00:17:29Don't make me do this alone.
00:17:32Real shit, you know that?
00:17:39All right, I need to go and wrangle a radio spot.
00:17:43Yay.
00:17:44We didn't get to talk about what you want to do for your birthday.
00:17:46Hide in a closet until it's over.
00:17:48You better have a big closet.
00:17:49You promised.
00:17:50Come here, buddy.
00:17:51Give me a hug.
00:17:52I gotta go.
00:17:54Alice, why are you always running off somewhere?
00:17:55You don't want to go.
00:17:56Oh, fuck off.
00:17:58Sorry, darling.
00:18:00All right.
00:18:02Bye, call me later.
00:18:03Yeah.
00:18:03Come on.
00:18:06You want some?
00:18:36You want some?
00:18:37Hello?
00:18:37Hello?
00:18:41It was a graceful pas de deux, a dance of hate.
00:18:45He belittles her, two three, she yells, two three.
00:19:27It's me, this is the new story, um, so, uh, I'm not really sure about the endings,
00:19:34and it feels really forced, and, um, some of the dialogue is really bogus.
00:19:45So, do you have a pen?
00:19:48Yeah.
00:19:50Please.
00:19:54Can't watch.
00:20:07Is that your homework?
00:20:09Uh, yeah, I have, like, a hundred pages of American history.
00:20:13Come over here, kiddo.
00:20:14Come.
00:20:16Let's read together.
00:20:16Let's read together.
00:20:50It's good.
00:20:51You made notes all over it.
00:20:53I wouldn't bother if it wasn't good.
00:20:57But it can be better.
00:20:59It's too abstract.
00:21:01It's, um, so it only becomes real if we give it concrete details, concrete details.
00:21:10Look, here.
00:21:12It's too abstract.
00:21:16If you move that one.
00:21:20Here we go.
00:21:23Okay, so, who has material to hand out for next class?
00:21:27I need one more volunteer.
00:21:28I brought in some new pages.
00:21:30Um, Alice?
00:21:33I have this really radical idea for this super weapon the Zorgoats are going to use to destroy
00:21:37planet Earth.
00:21:38Just wait till you see.
00:21:39It's really complete.
00:21:39Maybe we could give you some, some ideas, or?
00:21:42Well, if she doesn't have anything.
00:21:45I'm sorry.
00:21:49Okay, Josh.
00:21:50What are those aliens up to?
00:22:01Oh, my, look at that view.
00:22:06It's beautiful.
00:22:08The sun.
00:22:16Come.
00:22:23So, tell me about your day.
00:22:28Um, school.
00:22:30School?
00:22:31Uh, it's the same every day.
00:22:34Totally boring.
00:22:35Well, not for me, you know.
00:22:36For me, it's like a movie.
00:22:38Shear leaders, boys and team, you actually hold your hands.
00:22:42Um, people don't hold hands anymore.
00:22:47They just hook up.
00:22:49They hook up?
00:22:50Uh-huh.
00:22:51Hook up.
00:22:53And, uh, no cheerleaders.
00:22:57Anyway, I guess we do have uniforms, right?
00:23:00Like uniforms.
00:23:01Uh-huh.
00:23:02Yeah.
00:23:03Yeah.
00:23:04My best friend Ruby just went golf.
00:23:06She turned what?
00:23:07Golf.
00:23:08Golf?
00:23:08Uh-huh.
00:23:10Golf?
00:23:13You know, like, uh, like, uh, black eyeliner and ripped shirts.
00:23:17Oh, yeah?
00:23:18And, uh, her mom would freak out if she knew, so she, um, she hides her stuff in the hallway
00:23:23every day before she leaves.
00:23:25And, uh, um...
00:23:27Yeah?
00:23:31Um...
00:23:32Uh...
00:23:32And, yeah?
00:23:34You want to hear about this?
00:23:36Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:23:37Um, well, she says her mom has no idea who she is anymore, but maybe she never did.
00:23:45Yeah.
00:23:50Um...
00:23:52So Thursday's a good day for you?
00:23:55I guess so.
00:23:56Okay.
00:23:56See you next Thursday, then.
00:24:05I'm sorry, guys.
00:24:07I know you're wasting precious babysitter time.
00:24:10I just want to eat in front of the TV and get sodden and pathetic.
00:24:16It is your day.
00:24:17We will do whatever you want.
00:24:24Surprise!
00:24:29I knew you were going to make us for you.
00:24:34Oh, happy birthday.
00:24:39You're really going to enjoy it once you use the idea.
00:24:41Come on.
00:24:42Come on, help her blow it up.
00:24:43One, two, three.
00:24:47Oh, give me a hug.
00:24:49Yay, I lost my word.
00:24:51One more, get one more!
00:24:53Woohoo!
00:24:54Yay!
00:24:56Woohoo!
00:24:56Yay!
00:25:30What?
00:25:36What's your right take?
00:25:38My journal.
00:25:42Come on.
00:25:47I want to know you.
00:25:49I can.

00:30:51And?
00:30:53Nuts.
00:30:55Oh, that explains it.
00:31:00Thanks.
00:31:01Look, just so we're clear, I don't really do nuts.
00:31:06I'll keep that in mind.
00:31:22We can't do it.
00:31:29You're so fine.
00:31:32I'm not going to do it.
00:31:34Okay.
00:31:34Okay.
00:31:35Okay.
00:31:36Okay.
00:31:39Okay.
00:31:53How do you take your coffee?
00:31:56Black.
00:32:04I'll call you later.
00:32:27So while he was building a bionicle, I posted on the New Yorker Books, Paris Review, Gala Cat,
00:32:35uh, what else?
00:32:36Who am I gonna thank you?
00:32:37Oh, I don't know, a foot massage?
00:32:43Not too high, Ty.
00:32:51So Alice grew up and became a wife and mother just like everybody else.
00:32:57Isn't that sad?
00:33:02Yeah, but it would make me sadder if she hadn't.
00:33:07Face is chapped.
00:33:08When you're near 30, you have to moisturize.
00:33:10Trust me.
00:33:12Kissing.
00:33:13What?
00:33:14Too much kissing.
00:33:18Never say that to a married person.
00:33:31Damn it.
00:33:32Yeah, I guessed.
00:33:35Look at you.
00:33:36Come on.
00:33:38I'm so glad.
00:33:41She's terrifying and exhilarating.
00:33:44Mom!
00:33:45Yeah, what is it, baby?
00:33:47This is crazy.
00:33:48Mom!
00:33:48Okay.
00:34:13Alice.
00:34:15Dad?
00:34:15I forgot I need a jacket for this thing tonight here.
00:34:18This was in the middle of the living room.
00:34:20It's not mine.
00:34:22What?
00:34:23Where the hell did it come from?
00:34:25It reeks.
00:34:27I think it's Milan's.
00:34:30Milan's?
00:34:31Oh.
00:34:34He was here this afternoon.
00:34:35What?
00:34:37Did he bring by a new draft, or...?
00:34:41He, uh, he came to see me.
00:34:44You?
00:34:46Yeah.
00:34:47He's been helping me with my writing.
00:34:50What?
00:34:51What?
00:34:54Since when?
00:34:56A while.
00:35:01Well, you couldn't have a better mentor.
00:35:05You were a lucky girl.
00:35:08Yeah.
00:35:10I expect great things of you.
00:35:17Good night.
00:35:22Okay, here.
00:35:24So this lady, she hasn't voted in 20 years.
00:35:27She starts reading our most outrageous quotes of the day,
00:35:30sees her senator waxing poetic about the benefits of hydrofracking.
00:35:35Immediately promises to volunteer for anyone who will run against him.
00:35:39Wow.
00:35:40And this guy...
00:35:41Oh, my God.
00:35:42I love the way they curse in the South.
00:35:45I think you, too, realize you're a fanatic.
00:35:46Don't you?
00:35:47Yeah.
00:35:48Sorry.
00:35:57You, uh, want some of my Pecora?
00:36:01Yes, I want to try your Pecora.
00:36:04I proved your entry, so you can post at any time.
00:36:08I'm the last one here, so I'm gonna head out.
00:36:12See you tomorrow.
00:36:13Bye.
00:36:14Bye.
00:36:14Bye.
00:36:17It's nice to know somebody who actually likes what they do.
00:36:22I always wanted to be a writer when I grew up.
00:36:25Are you?
00:36:27Grown up?
00:36:28No.
00:36:30Writing.
00:36:34No.
00:36:36Not coming.
00:36:39I sit there, waiting to hear the characters speak, and instead I have this voice in my
00:36:44head saying, this is shit, this is shit, this is shit.
00:36:48God, that voice?
00:36:51Everybody hears that voice.
00:36:53That's the same voice that says, I can't believe you just said that, you fucking moron.
00:36:59Everybody hears that voice.
00:37:01You think?
00:37:02Yeah.
00:37:04Most people just ignore it.
00:37:06Really?
00:37:08I just succumb.
00:37:13Yeah?
00:37:16I like a girl who knows how to succumb.
00:37:19Really?
00:37:21Really.
00:37:27Good Bye.
00:37:34Hey.
00:37:41Hey.
00:37:43Hey.
00:37:46Hey.
00:37:48Hey.
00:37:50Hey.
00:37:50Hey.
00:37:51Hey, hey.
00:37:51Hey, hey.
00:38:17Ah, well, good morning.
00:38:19This a new jacket copy?
00:38:20Yeah.
00:38:21Great.
00:38:21Can you get Harold Blake for me?
00:38:23Did you get a chance to read Karen's manuscript?
00:38:25Uh, not yet.
00:38:27The Fisher book's exploding.
00:38:29But you will this week.
00:38:30As soon as I get a free moment.
00:38:31Now, Milan did an interview with the press office.
00:38:34Can you see if he said anything we haven't heard before?
00:38:36This week?
00:38:37I'm sorry?
00:38:39This week.
00:38:39Oh, yes, of course.
00:38:41I really need to talk to Harold.
00:38:44Harold's on line one.
00:38:53The only real rule of good writing is generosity.
00:38:57Rule number one.
00:39:00Generosity.
00:39:02You must be willing to share yourself.
00:39:05Oh, I brought you a present.
00:39:07You did?
00:39:08Yeah.
00:39:09It's a birthday present.
00:39:12I wrote you a poem.
00:39:14I didn't know you write poetry.
00:39:16I don't, but you inspired me.
00:39:19So, go on.
00:39:25I wrote you a poem.
00:39:51Um...
00:40:00What do you think?
00:40:02Uh, it's...
00:40:03It's nice.
00:40:07Nice?
00:40:11Yeah, I have a...
00:40:12I have a pre-calc test.
00:40:15Jesus, I hate this stuff.
00:40:17That is.
00:40:17It's okay.
00:40:22Okay.
00:40:22I'm glad you'd like to poem.
00:40:28Anything we can use?
00:40:30Nothing that we haven't heard before.
00:40:32Damn it.
00:40:33Get me Susan at Simon & Schuster.
00:40:43Sorry.
00:40:45So, are you ever in the time?
00:40:47No.
00:40:48But, um...
00:40:49Gotcha.
00:40:53Thanks.
00:40:55You guys, I'm so sorry.
00:40:56Good.
00:41:02condemnation is good.
00:41:17There's going to be a lot of food.
00:41:25Well, Alfred Marks began working at the White House at the age of 28.
00:41:28Good for Alfred.
00:41:36Louise van der S...
00:41:37Okay, stop.
00:41:39What?
00:41:40Is this what you do every Sunday morning?
00:41:43You just sit here and end the other people's lives?
00:41:47No, that is pretty much a full-time occupation.
00:41:51You know what's pointless, right?
00:41:52Yes, I do.
00:41:54You can't write in front of me.
00:41:57What?
00:41:58No, I'm serious. If anyone's going to write in my apartment, it's going to be me.
00:42:01But you don't.
00:42:03Thank you for pointing that out.
00:42:05Come on. It's not like there's a finite number of words in the room,
00:42:09and if I use them all, there won't be enough left for you.
00:42:14Why does everything you say have to make so much sense?
00:42:18It's fucking infuriating.
00:42:19Well, it's simply a bit of a similar thing.
00:42:22It's it. I'm simply...
00:42:23I'm simply...
00:42:24It's...
00:42:25Okay, shut up.
00:42:26Okay, shut up.
00:42:27I love the drop.
00:42:28Just...
00:42:39You see anyone special, sport?
00:42:43Not really.
00:42:46You know, having children is the most satisfying thing life has to offer.
00:42:54Yeah.
00:42:57How's the writing going?
00:43:00Oh, you know.
00:43:02There is a book that I read that I thought was terrific.
00:43:05Yeah?
00:43:06Yeah, I'm trying to get Jack to read it.
00:43:08Yeah?
00:43:09Um, well, I thought that maybe you would have a look.
00:43:12Maybe you want to meet with the writer.
00:43:16Jack hasn't read it?
00:43:17No, don't worry about that.
00:43:18I'll get him to read it.
00:43:19I just...
00:43:20I just thought you might want to meet with her.
00:43:22Her name's Karen Malone.
00:43:23She, um...
00:43:24She did Iowa.
00:43:25She has this amazing short story.
00:43:27No, no.
00:43:27I'm going to call him up.
00:43:29No, Dad, please don't.
00:43:30That's not what I meant.
00:43:31Well, I can fix it.
00:43:33It's a sport.
00:43:34Dad, Dad.
00:43:34I'll get him to read it.
00:43:35I just wanted your opinion.
00:43:38Okay.
00:43:40Dad, I mean it.
00:43:41Don't call him.
00:43:42Okay, honey.
00:43:43I won't call him.
00:43:44Hey, Tiger.
00:43:46Are you having fun?
00:43:48Huh?
00:44:02Great work.
00:44:04Um, Alice, can you hang out a minute?
00:44:08Look, do you want me to refund your tuition?
00:44:13What?
00:44:14It's passed the official deadline, but I could ask them to make an exception.
00:44:23It's not that I'm not trying.
00:44:27Why don't you sign up again when you feel like you're ready?
00:44:35Thanks.
00:44:38Yeah, I know he's hearing a lot of press right now, but it would be great if he could squeeze
00:44:41in the Waking Eyes for a release party.
00:44:45Okay, no, I don't have any confirmations yet, but...
00:44:48I can hold.
00:44:50Is this Jack Bauman's office?
00:44:53Yeah, is he expecting it?
00:44:54Karen Malone?
00:44:57Oh.
00:44:59Karen, hi.
00:45:01I'm Alice.
00:45:02Nice to meet you.
00:45:03It's really nice to meet you, too.
00:45:04Um, so could you tell him I'm here?
00:45:06Hey, Karen?
00:45:08Come on in.
00:45:09Hi.
00:45:09Jack Bauman.
00:45:10It's so nice to meet you.
00:45:11Pleasure to meet you.
00:45:11Alice.
00:45:12Have a seat.
00:45:12Hi.
00:45:13Dad?
00:45:13Am I late?
00:45:14See, sport?
00:45:16I told you I'd fix it, huh?
00:45:18Can I take you to lunch when we're through here?
00:45:21Ben?
00:45:21Hey, good to see you.
00:45:23Hi.
00:45:24Hi.
00:45:25Hi.
00:45:25How are you doing?
00:45:25Hello.
00:45:25Hello.
00:45:27How are you doing her?
00:45:29Whoa.
00:45:32All right.
00:45:40Hello.
00:45:42Okay.
00:45:47Kim?
00:45:48Hi.
00:45:49Bye.
00:45:50Bye.kaih.
00:45:50Bye. Bye.
00:45:53Bye.
00:46:07Hi.
00:46:08Hi.
00:46:09Uh, uh, Keith.
00:46:14I'm watching Tyler.
00:46:16Oh, okay.
00:46:18We were at the park all day.
00:46:19He's taking that.
00:46:19Oh, um, I'm Alice.
00:46:22Yeah, um, hi.
00:46:23Hi, um.
00:46:24Sadie's at, uh, prenatal yoga.
00:46:27Um, she'll be back in, like, an hour and a half.
00:46:29Maybe you could just tell her that I came by.
00:46:31If you could call me.
00:46:32Yeah, sure.
00:46:33Okay.
00:46:34Well, you know what?
00:46:35Actually, maybe I'll just check on Tyler, if that's okay.
00:46:37Yeah, um, sure.
00:46:38Come on.
00:46:39Okay.
00:47:01He's such a great kid.
00:47:03Yeah.
00:47:04I, we read this in my, uh, modern lit class last year.
00:47:08Oh.
00:47:09I didn't finish it.
00:47:12Well, you can have that coffee if you want.
00:47:16It's kind of dated.
00:47:27What?
00:47:41Cheers.
00:47:42Cheers.
00:47:49What the fuck are you doing?
00:47:51Oh, what are you doing at home?
00:47:54I decided to skip deep relaxation.
00:47:57Is there someone in there?
00:47:59Um.
00:48:04Keith, get out of here.
00:48:05Okay.
00:48:08Um.
00:48:10You owe me $40.
00:48:11Now.
00:48:11Okay.
00:48:17What the hell are you doing?
00:48:19I don't know.
00:48:21He's a kid.
00:48:22I know.
00:48:22If Tyler had woken up, oh my God, he would have been so confused.
00:48:24I know.
00:48:25What about Emmett?
00:48:26I know, I know, I don't know.
00:48:31Hey, honey.
00:48:33Yeah, baby.
00:48:35I'm Alice.
00:48:36Alice.
00:48:37I have to leave now.
00:48:38I have to leave now.
00:48:46Okay.
00:48:50Oh.
00:48:53Okay.
00:50:13I'm still waiting on that updated guest list.
00:50:15I'm working on it.
00:50:18You could have told me that you read it.
00:50:20That you liked it.
00:50:22That we're publishing it.
00:50:24You are?
00:50:25I thought Daddy would have spread the word.
00:50:27Well, who are you assigning it to?
00:50:29I'm editing it myself.
00:50:31It's not your kind of book.
00:50:34I found her.
00:50:36Alice, that's your job.
00:50:38You cull the good stuff.
00:50:40I decide if it's good enough.
00:50:41But listen, I have some great ideas.
00:50:43Now listen, there's no way I'm going to let an inexperienced editor work with an inexperienced writer.
00:50:48I've worked here for two years.
00:50:49And how many books have you edited?
00:50:51My point exactly.
00:50:52I will CC you my notes.
00:50:54You can come to me with your thoughts anytime you like.
00:50:56Now listen, Milan is expecting you at the taping tomorrow.
00:50:59The new novel is almost unreadable.
00:51:01Make sure he sticks to waking eyes, okay?
00:51:03You're the best.
00:51:12So, 15 years, you've written seven novels since waking eyes, and none has become a kind
00:51:21of cultural icon.
00:51:24No, unfortunately not.
00:51:27What do you think makes it so perennially popular?
00:51:33Um, what I think it is, is that everyone has been a teenager, and we all know how out
00:51:43of kilt it makes.
00:51:47Do not say, just not say no.
00:51:49You are.
00:51:51Okay, Siri, you're going to tell me a secret now.
00:51:53All right, I think we're going to actually come here, because no one can hear this actually.
00:51:58Yeah.
00:52:04I have to go.
00:52:07So go.
00:52:39So the question I have to ask.
00:52:42Which I probably have answered many times before, so go ahead.
00:52:45Possibly.
00:52:47How does a man in his 40s perfectly capture the essence of a teenage girl?
00:52:54Um.
00:52:58This opening paragraph is self-indulgent.
00:53:0195% of writing is rewriting.
00:53:04You know that.
00:53:05And here, here's another dangling preposition.
00:53:08The way you mangle the English language is, I'm a, look at this, I'm the immigrant here.
00:53:15I was hanging out with my friend, I forgot.
00:53:22I'm sorry.
00:53:30I do this because I believe in your talent.
00:53:48I do this because I love you.
00:53:52I know.
00:53:53Yeah.
00:53:54I met a boy.
00:53:57Oh, I'm happy.
00:54:00Heh.
00:54:00So bad.
00:54:01I want you to be happy.
00:54:07What can I do to make you happy?
00:54:14We all like a mystery, but there's no mystery going in it.
00:54:17It's, it's, it's, it's all fiction, and, um, that time I, I did walk around a, in the city
00:54:25and, uh, listen in on subways, coffee shops, streets, you know, and, and I still do.
00:54:37Have they?
00:54:39Something never changed.
00:54:47Hi.
00:54:48Hi.
00:54:49Special delivery.
00:54:50What the hell are you doing here?
00:54:53No, no.
00:54:54You, you need to go.
00:54:55I have somebody coming here.
00:54:56Another time?
00:54:57No, no.
00:54:59Why?
00:55:00Look, I just turned 29.
00:55:02Really?
00:55:03And I guess it messed with my head.
00:55:05Shit.
00:55:09Hey.
00:55:11Hi.
00:55:13This is Keith.
00:55:15Yeah?
00:55:16Oh, I'm sorry.
00:55:17Uh, he's Sadie's babysitter.
00:55:19Yeah?
00:55:20You, her husband?
00:55:26No.
00:55:28Keith was just leaving.
00:55:30Sorry.
00:55:31Yeah, um, sorry, man.
00:55:37Add us some wine.
00:55:42Alice?
00:55:45Uh, I went to Sadie's the other day and I forgot that.
00:55:50And?
00:55:52Well, I told him that he could borrow it.
00:55:56Before or after you forgot it?
00:56:06Emmett.
00:56:08Did you?
00:56:13Walk.
00:56:17Emmett, can we just talk about it?
00:56:20Please.
00:56:20It was the day that I found out about the manuscript.
00:56:22I was really upset.
00:56:26I am never gonna see this guy again.
00:56:28Emmett!
00:56:29Listen, let's just talk about it.
00:56:35Emmett.
00:56:36I will not let you make me as crazy as you are.
00:56:54Dad?
00:56:55Hey, champ.
00:56:56Come.
00:56:57Come and meet Alana.
00:56:58You must be Alice.
00:57:01Hi.
00:57:02Sit, sit, sit, sit.
00:57:03I mean, Alana is a fantastic conductor.
00:57:07Women really coming into their own in that field.
00:57:12What about Malaya, Dad?
00:57:14I'm gonna see her.
00:57:16Yeah.
00:57:17Helene just needs a little time to cool down.
00:57:21Oh, Dad.
00:57:22Hey.
00:57:23Hey.
00:57:25You know how it is, right?
00:57:32Oh, sorry.
00:57:34I just, uh...
00:57:35Suddenly started to just...
00:57:38Alice?
00:57:39Excuse me.
00:57:39Alice?
00:57:54What are you doing here?
00:57:56I brought food.
00:57:58You know how precious sleep is to make.
00:58:03I need to talk.
00:58:06Sadie.
00:58:06Evan is my friend.
00:58:08And Keith is our neighbor's kid.
00:58:09Look, I'm sorry.
00:58:10Good.
00:58:14I brought Dolce de Leche.
00:58:18And I love you more than almost anyone.
00:58:21Except Tyler and Rob and my mother.
00:58:23Sometimes.
00:58:27I'm sorry not to like you very much.
00:58:31And I never forgive you for that.
00:58:40I need to not see you for a while.
00:58:49What about the book?
00:58:51Screw you, Alice.
00:58:59I'm sorry.
00:59:00I need to have a dog.
00:59:03No.
00:59:17Go away.
00:59:20Go away.
00:59:21Really?
00:59:23Yeah.
00:59:25I'm sorry.
00:59:27I'm sorry.
00:59:28I'm sorry.
00:59:36You know, Ruby, can we just, can we just nod?
00:59:42What?
00:59:43I'm really tired.
00:59:47No, I don't think so.
00:59:53Okay.
00:59:55You did things.
00:59:57Things?
00:59:58Thanks.
01:00:11You hooked up?
01:00:13Yeah.
01:00:15Okay.
01:00:24Was it wonderful?
01:00:29It should have been wonderful, was it?
01:00:37Please tell me about it.
01:00:40Come on.
01:00:40How it was like.
01:00:48Did he make you come?
01:00:55I want to make you come.
01:00:59I want to be the first person to make you come.
01:01:14Look at me.
01:01:24Don't close your eyes.
01:01:25Open your eyes.
01:01:28Don't close your eyes.
01:01:29That's not the way we do it.
01:01:41Look at me.
01:01:43Look at me.
01:01:50I don't know.
01:02:20I don't know.
01:02:49I don't know.
01:03:19I don't know.
01:03:53I don't know.
01:04:31I don't know.
01:04:51I don't know.
01:05:01I don't know.
01:05:02I don't know.
01:05:02I don't know.
01:05:03I don't know.
01:05:10I don't know.
01:05:14So?
01:05:15So it wears off.
01:05:19I start wondering what's wrong with this guy.
01:05:21Why can't he do better?
01:05:23Why can't he do better?
01:05:26It's unbearably sad.
01:05:30I know.
01:05:34But it probably can.
01:05:40Yeah.
01:05:43Yeah.
01:05:55I don't know.
01:05:56I don't know.
01:06:02I don't know.
01:06:16Hey.
01:06:20I got a hose.
01:06:22Cool.
01:06:23It's an ambush.
01:06:24Where's my hat?
01:06:26Yeah.
01:06:26I need to be protected.
01:06:27I need to be protected.
01:06:27Here you go.
01:06:34I can't not be your friend for one more day.
01:06:37I'm friends like you.
01:06:43Honey, be careful.
01:06:47Figure if even you can't put up with me, I'm gonna have to do something about it.
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:58Aunt Alice!
01:07:00Emergency!
01:07:00Emergency!
01:07:01You're on fire!
01:07:03I am!
01:07:05Say help!
01:07:07Help.
01:07:11Um, hi.
01:07:12My name is Alice Harvey.
01:07:14I am a volunteer for People for the People.
01:07:16And I'm calling you because this is such an important election.
01:07:20And it's so important that you...
01:07:22Hello?
01:07:25Hey!
01:07:26You made it.
01:07:27Of course.
01:07:28Come on in.
01:07:30Hi. Nice to meet you.
01:07:31Hi. Thanks for coming.
01:07:33Well, everyone, listen up.
01:07:34Let's take a little five-minute break.
01:07:36Put your phones down.
01:07:38This is Emmett Grant, who founded People for the People.
01:07:42He is the guy that got us all here tonight.
01:07:45Woo-hoo!
01:07:45I didn't get you here.
01:07:47You got yourselves here.
01:07:48Everybody take a look around the room.
01:07:54Forgot to thank our hostess for this evening.
01:07:57Thanks.
01:07:59Did you look around?
01:08:01It's a room full of people, right?
01:08:03See, we reached out to you.
01:08:05Tonight, you're here.
01:08:06You're reaching out to others.
01:08:07And then, with any luck, those others are going to reach out on election day and fill in the right
01:08:13bubbles.
01:08:13And maybe, together, we can change the political landscape.
01:08:21If not...
01:08:22We can.
01:08:24We can be reaching out to them.
01:08:27Reaching out would scare the shit out of them, even when our guys don't remember.
01:08:32So, please, please, just keep reaching out.
01:08:36Woo-hoo!
01:08:38Awesome.
01:08:40That was a really nice speech.
01:08:41You should have known.
01:08:42Listen, I love you both.
01:08:44You've got about five minutes.
01:08:50How could you use this event for personal reasons?
01:08:53That's not fair.
01:08:55I wanted to help you.
01:08:56I know how important this is to you.
01:08:58Keep going.
01:09:01Emmett.
01:09:02No actions have consequences, Alice.
01:09:04Hey, we gotta move on.
01:09:07I'm reaching out.
01:09:11I have to go.
01:09:20Evie.
01:09:28Teeep.
01:09:30Hey, we're good.
01:10:07Please, please, please, just keep reaching.
01:10:18What would you like, sport?
01:10:19I'd like to start with you with this eye, please.
01:10:22You know, the duck is fabulous here.
01:10:25You should try it.
01:10:25I'd like the full eye.
01:10:27Why don't you bring her the duck?
01:10:29Milan.
01:10:31You want to tell them?
01:10:34No, it's all you're doing.
01:10:36Bullshit.
01:10:37Bookseller pre-orders for waking eyes.
01:10:41Unbelievable.
01:10:42We may have a bestseller on our hands.
01:10:44You're a genius, pal.
01:10:46Haver's marketing department is.
01:10:48Okay, so we're all geniuses.
01:10:51Please pass the rules.
01:10:53Julio is good, but not if he doesn't have something great to sell.
01:10:57Could you pass the rules, please?
01:10:58Would you just stop kissing each other's asses and enjoy the moment?
01:11:02You have to be so crude.
01:11:03Would you have to be so smug?
01:11:05I'm happy.
01:11:07Not that you'd have any idea what that feels like.
01:11:09Mm-hmm.
01:11:10I wonder why.
01:11:13Actually, I'd like to stick to the fly.
01:11:17Okay, sport.
01:11:18And duck for me.
01:11:20And a side of spinach.
01:11:23So, can anybody explain to me the appeal of that guy in that movie?
01:11:29Oh, jeez.
01:11:30You know the one.
01:11:31The one that won Best Picture.
01:11:58Oh, jeez.
01:12:07I can messenger a copy over today.
01:12:11Yes, I will hold.
01:12:13Hi.
01:12:14Um, one second.
01:12:15Um, yeah, I'll send it right over.
01:12:17Okay, great.
01:12:18Thanks.
01:12:21My agent said that you gave him my book.
01:12:25Rental!
01:12:25I'm not sure I did you any favors.
01:12:28I was actually working on something new before all this, and, um...
01:12:34I'd love if you could take a look.
01:12:36Yeah?
01:12:37It's my first chapter.
01:12:41I'd love to, um...
01:12:43Great.
01:13:22Yes, Green Street is coming.
01:13:25Terrific.
01:13:26Uh, how many guests will that be?
01:13:29Okay.
01:13:29Great.
01:13:30Thanks.
01:13:36Alice?
01:13:38Uh, he's just finishing up a call.
01:13:40He should be right out.
01:13:41Could I take you to lunch?
01:13:44Yes.
01:13:47Sorry to make you wait.
01:13:49Hot off the presses.
01:13:50One for you.
01:13:51One for you.
01:13:52He's got the new dedication.
01:13:54That's great.
01:13:54Nice, huh?
01:13:55Come in.
01:13:56Come in.
01:14:11Still she haunts me, phantom wise.
01:14:15Alice moving under skies.
01:14:18Never seen by waking eyes.
01:14:26Alain Daniker.
01:14:27He'll be reading from his new novel, Waking Eyes.
01:14:31Mr. Daniker.
01:14:37Thank you, Martin.
01:14:38Mm-hmm.
01:14:40Sorry.
01:14:49Yes.
01:14:53She was slouching under the weight of a too big book bag, cracking her gum fiercely like a line of
01:15:03defense.
01:15:07But her eyes cried out.
01:15:10Love me.
01:15:12Oh, please love me.
01:15:14A little lonely, she said.
01:15:17My mom has no idea who I am anymore.
01:15:21But maybe she never did.
01:15:23She swayed with a graceful pas de deux, the dance of hate.
01:15:29She was small enough.
01:15:32She was invisible to them and always would be.
01:15:36Her eyes opened wider and wider as she came, brimming with surprise.
01:15:48Pleasure and ineffable sadness.
01:16:03Alice?
01:16:07Alice?
