Now, the trouble with writing,

181
00:19:18,357 --> 00:19:20,659
if I may bring it up here
in the English Department...

182
00:19:20,726 --> 00:19:21,827
(ALL CHUCKLE)

183
00:19:21,894 --> 00:19:25,397
...is we all do a little of it
from time to time, writing.

184
00:19:25,464 --> 00:19:29,001
And some of us start to think,
delusionally,

185
00:19:29,067 --> 00:19:30,302
maybe with a little time,

186
00:19:30,369 --> 00:19:32,204
a little peace,
a little money in the bank,

187
00:19:32,271 --> 00:19:33,372
and you get that room
of your own,

188
00:19:33,438 --> 00:19:35,173
you think, "Well, shit,

189
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,309
"I might be a writer, too."

190
00:19:37,376 --> 00:19:39,912
I mean,
we accept genius in sports

191
00:19:39,978 --> 00:19:41,480
as something we cannot do.

192
00:19:41,547 --> 00:19:43,715
But it's no more likely that
you could be a writer that

193
00:19:43,782 --> 00:19:46,485
you could be what?
An Olympic pole-vaulter?

194
00:19:46,552 --> 00:19:48,320
Because what you have to be

195
00:19:48,387 --> 00:19:50,923
before you try
to be a pole-vaulter...

196
00:19:50,989 --> 00:19:52,691
Hello! Is a pole-vaulter, no?

197
00:19:52,758 --> 00:19:53,926
(ALL CHUCKLE)

198
00:19:53,992 --> 00:19:55,460
Yeah! STUDENT: You are one.
Yeah! STUDENT: You are one.

199
00:19:55,527 --> 00:19:57,362
A pole-vaulter?
A novelist.

200
00:19:57,429 --> 00:19:59,331
No, I am not.
For me to be a novelist,

201
00:19:59,398 --> 00:20:00,832
I would have to make
a deal with myself,

202
00:20:00,899 --> 00:20:03,101
that it was okay being
a mediocrity in a profession

203
00:20:03,168 --> 00:20:05,170
that died commercially
in the last century.

204
00:20:05,237 --> 00:20:07,272
All right, people do that.
I am not one of them.

205
00:20:07,339 --> 00:20:09,474
If you take away nothing else
from my class,

206
00:20:09,541 --> 00:20:11,910
from this experience,
let it be this...

207
00:20:11,977 --> 00:20:15,747
If you're not a genius,
don't bother, all right?

208
00:20:15,814 --> 00:20:17,215
The world needs
plenty of electricians,

209
00:20:17,282 --> 00:20:18,884
and a lot of them are happy.

210
00:20:18,951 --> 00:20:21,086
I'll be fucked if
I'll be a mid-list novelist

211
00:20:21,153 --> 00:20:22,220

212
00:20:22,287 --> 00:20:24,456
from the people
I give good reviews to.

213
00:20:28,427 --> 00:20:31,296
Let's have a look at Dexter.
Dexter!

214
00:20:32,598 --> 00:20:35,300

with a what?

215
00:20:35,367 --> 00:20:38,403

regular features,

216
00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:40,038
and decent dentition,

217
00:20:40,105 --> 00:20:42,307
is the second-ranked
collegiate tennis player

218
00:20:42,374 --> 00:20:44,543
in the United States
of America.

219
00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:46,244
How did that
come about, Dexter?

220
00:20:46,311 --> 00:20:48,447
You come from a tennis family?

221
00:20:49,815 --> 00:20:51,216
Well, I mean, uh,

222
00:20:51,283 --> 00:20:53,552
I started playing
five years ago in high school

223
00:20:53,619 --> 00:20:56,521

have the best weed.

(ALL LAUGH)

225
00:20:58,423 --> 00:21:00,025
After you started tennis,
how long was it

226
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:01,460
before you were better
than everybody?

227
00:21:01,526 --> 00:21:03,228
Before I was better
than everybody,

228
00:21:03,295 --> 00:21:04,529
or before I knew it?

229
00:21:04,596 --> 00:21:06,031
What happened when you noticed

230
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:08,533
you were naturally
better than everybody?

231
00:21:09,534 --> 00:21:10,469
I...

232
00:21:10,535 --> 00:21:12,471
I got interested in the game.

233
00:21:12,537 --> 00:21:16,074
That is an IQ break point,
brother. Right there!

234
00:21:16,141 --> 00:21:17,142
Do you remember Machiavelli?

235
00:21:17,209 --> 00:21:18,777

been in September.

All right.

240
00:21:26,251 --> 00:21:29,521
Is it the game,
brother, or the money?

246
00:21:41,199 --> 00:21:42,901
You got ambitious, yeah?

247
00:21:42,968 --> 00:21:45,804
DEXTER: I realized,
as I learned about the game,

248
00:21:45,871 --> 00:21:47,305
that I was in reach of...

249
00:21:47,372 --> 00:21:48,874
In reach of...

250
00:21:50,242 --> 00:21:51,877

Highest level, yeah.

00:21:59,217 --> 00:22:01,186
Highest level.

254
00:22:01,253 --> 00:22:02,621
But it's still a gamble,
isn't it?

255
00:22:03,388 --> 00:22:05,090
Look,
I'm a literature teacher.

256
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:06,324
I can't write
well enough to bother,

257
00:22:06,391 --> 00:22:08,293
or I just don't bother,
whichever.

258
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:10,529
Whichever it is, there'll be
no apotheosis around here.

259
00:22:10,595 --> 00:22:12,330
There'll be no
<i>"Vae, puto, deus fio!"</i>

260
00:22:12,397 --> 00:22:13,598
around here.

261
00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:15,333
That's what Emperor Vespasian
said on his deathbed,

262
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,437
"Dear me,
I think I'm becoming a god."

263
00:22:18,503 --> 00:22:20,605

at the highest level?

and even I...

265
00:22:22,674 --> 00:22:25,544

adequately?

one in reality.

00:32:22,140 --> 00:32:24,242

not pay off because,

No, no. Don't even
talk to me anymore.

1061

I want you to understand
when I say what I want for it,

1062
01:07:01,350 --> 01:07:03,085
I am giving you the figure
that I will take for it.

1063

Do you understand me?

1064
01:07:04,220 --> 01:07:05,554
No, no, no. Look at me!

1065
01:07:05,621 --> 01:07:07,790
I will say the price now
and you will either say yes or no.

1066
01:07:07,857 --> 01:07:09,125
Do you understand?

1067
01:07:10,226 --> 01:07:12,261
It is impossible.
Impossible to say yes or...

1068
01:07:12,328 --> 01:07:13,162

I am good man, you are good man.

1071
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,502
No. I told you, not to say
anything but yes or no.

You're wasting my time!

1073

listening to your price. Okay?

You can't counter it.

1075
01:07:25,074 --> 01:07:27,042
When I say my figure,
that's the figure,

1076
01:07:27,109 --> 01:07:30,312
and you either say
yes or no. You got it?

1077
01:07:30,379 --> 01:07:34,150
How can I say
yes or no if I am not hearing the price?

You're not getting it.
I am getting it!

1082
01:07:39,989 --> 01:07:41,791
You need to understand
fully that what I say

1083
01:07:41,857 --> 01:07:42,925
is not an opening figure.

1084
01:07:42,992 --> 01:07:44,193
You can say yes or no.

a lower figure,
