1
00:00:38,359 --> 00:00:41,310
Pasadena, city of old ladies,

2
00:00:41,398 --> 00:00:42,998
of intellectuals
of science and technology.

3
00:00:45,063 --> 00:00:50,179
Of beautiful museums and one or two
Pulitzer Prize winners.

4
00:00:51,725 --> 00:00:55,799
Welcome to a city
where people still read.

5
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,364
- Are you looking for something special?
- No.

6
00:01:27,447 --> 00:01:30,018
- Do you like detective stories?
- Not particularly.

7
00:01:31,361 --> 00:01:33,979
This is pretty good.

8
00:01:34,734 --> 00:01:36,134
I didn't know Hitler had children.

9
00:01:36,648 --> 00:01:39,128
None that we know of,
but if he had one...

10
00:01:41,687 --> 00:01:44,127
with Eva Brown, it would have been
raised in Argentina by the Nazis

11
00:01:48,516 --> 00:01:50,504
so that it followed
the footsteps of his father.

12
00:01:53,303 --> 00:01:55,009
Yes, but that's ridiculous!

13
00:01:56,551 --> 00:01:59,231
- It's a guess... it's funny.
- Thanks, but I'm looking for something else.

14
00:02:01,673 --> 00:02:04,113
- It's a $25 for 3.99 deal.
- Yes, but I don't care.

15
00:02:07,084 --> 00:02:08,411
Right.

16
00:02:09,873 --> 00:02:12,243
Is this her?

17
00:02:13,537 --> 00:02:15,977
- Did you write this book?
- He took 7 years of my life.

18
00:02:17,952 --> 00:02:22,854
- But don't let yourself be influenced.
- Would you like to dedicate a dedication to me?

19
00:02:25,488 --> 00:02:27,193
- Is it safe?
- Certain!

20
00:02:28,984 --> 00:02:31,057
- What do I write?
- You are the author.

21
00:02:39,644 --> 00:02:41,348
Thank you.

22
00:02:43,015 --> 00:02:44,375
- Have fun.
- I definitely will.

23
00:02:44,847 --> 00:02:45,847
- Happy reading.
- Thank you.

24
00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:50,300
- Thanks to you.
- HI.

25
00:03:01,869 --> 00:03:03,269
This is the story of Byron Tiller,

26
00:03:04,077 --> 00:03:06,477
a modest man who lives in
a modest neighborhood of Pasadena.

27
00:03:08,826 --> 00:03:10,666
Neighborhood built for families
middle class.

28
00:03:12,074 --> 00:03:14,794
When the middle class was closer
both high and low.

29
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:16,860
- Say hi to mom.
- HI!

30
00:03:18,865 --> 00:03:20,385
You know what?
Today I sold a book.

31
00:03:22,903 --> 00:03:23,903
It's fantastic!

32
00:03:24,322 --> 00:03:26,282
I did the math
it will earn us at least 3 cents! hold on!

33
00:03:28,321 --> 00:03:29,321
Taxes will kill us.

34
00:03:30,862 --> 00:03:32,982
The important thing is that people
read your work.

35
00:03:34,443 --> 00:03:36,683
First I went to Rizzoli
I couldn't find it at first,

36
00:03:38,151 --> 00:03:40,912
then I looked around: 7 years
of life in the inventory pile

37
00:03:43,315 --> 00:03:44,835
along with cookbooks,
of DIY

38
00:03:45,689 --> 00:03:47,009
and “how to achieve orgasm“!

39
00:03:47,564 --> 00:03:50,444
Don't be ashamed if people don't pay
not even to “reach orgasm“.

40
00:03:51,895 --> 00:03:52,895
- What is this?
- What?

41
00:03:53,896 --> 00:03:55,216
It's a brand I've never seen.

42
00:03:55,812 --> 00:03:58,252
We can't afford it anymore
a decent bottle of ketchup?

43
00:03:59,643 --> 00:04:01,043
Why pay more
for a brand?

44
00:04:02,643 --> 00:04:04,523
How many diapers does Nathaniel use
in a week?

45
00:04:06,102 --> 00:04:08,582
It depends on how much food he decides on
to swallow and how much he spits out!

46
00:04:11,182 --> 00:04:13,142
And when will he decide
to poop in the jar?

47
00:04:15,057 --> 00:04:16,057
At three years old, more or less.

48
00:04:17,766 --> 00:04:23,262
Then it will be better than my new one
book be published... soon.

49
00:04:26,054 --> 00:04:28,374
Have a nice lullaby, my love.
Now dad turns off the light.

50
00:04:29,551 --> 00:04:31,911
- Mr. Nathaniel Tiller is sleeping.
- Leave the light small?

51
00:04:34,886 --> 00:04:38,249
- I love you.
- Me too, dad.

52
00:04:39,714 --> 00:04:40,714
What are you doing?

53
00:04:41,422 --> 00:04:45,582
I moved his head, I wouldn't want to
became flat. You never know!

54
00:04:46,213 --> 00:04:48,053
The fountain has been closed for some time.
Come to bed.

55
00:04:49,464 --> 00:04:51,749
Very willingly.

56
00:04:52,545 --> 00:04:54,745
- What were my men talking about?
- Of law schools.

57
00:04:56,045 --> 00:04:58,125
- I think he prefers Duke.
- It's a good school.

58
00:04:59,085 --> 00:05:01,405
- He agrees too.
- What if he doesn't want to be a lawyer?

59
00:05:02,085 --> 00:05:06,078
Nobody wants to make them do that, that's it
because the seed is planted early.

60
00:05:06,167 --> 00:05:07,647
And what if he wanted to do it instead
the writer?

61
00:05:09,166 --> 00:05:11,006
That's why the head
it must not be flattened.

62
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,040
- But you don't have it!
- Maybe you can't see it from the outside.

63
00:05:16,955 --> 00:05:19,111
- Honey.
- What?

64
00:05:20,037 --> 00:05:25,785
God has given you a gift.
Remember what News Week said?

65
00:05:26,243 --> 00:05:27,883
Byron Tiller writes
with liveliness and color.

66
00:05:29,951 --> 00:05:32,671
“Hitler's Son” shows flashes
of originality, rare in detective stories.

67
00:05:35,283 --> 00:05:37,564
Which isn't often found
in the detective genre... precisely.

68
00:05:38,450 --> 00:05:42,109
- What did the Times say?
- You remind me.

69
00:05:45,321 --> 00:05:47,561
I think he had done a veil
comparison between me and Heminguay.

70
00:05:49,362 --> 00:05:51,762
- It slipped my mind!
- Oh, yes? Had it slipped your mind?

71
00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:55,812
Maybe I should freshen you up
memory.

72
00:05:59,027 --> 00:06:02,688
What you want is coming.

73
00:06:04,899 --> 00:06:06,606
Treasure...

74
00:06:13,605 --> 00:06:15,810
What is Heminguay like?

75
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:19,929
He carves out his sentences...

76
00:06:21,686 --> 00:06:23,392
with the eye...

77
00:06:24,435 --> 00:06:25,515
of the diamond cutter,

78
00:06:27,768 --> 00:06:30,766
leaving the bright for the better.

79
00:06:32,017 --> 00:06:33,888
You are fabulous.

80
00:06:34,641 --> 00:06:36,299
I can't hear you!

81
00:06:37,890 --> 00:06:40,758
I said you look fabulous!

82
00:06:43,014 --> 00:06:45,295
Writing wasn't the only gift
which he had done to Byron.

83
00:06:47,428 --> 00:06:48,948
This was what attracted him
my attention.

84
00:06:50,677 --> 00:06:52,797
I went to the shops in an orderly manner
Hollywood porn,

85
00:06:54,136 --> 00:06:56,256
the curio shops...
I was curious in the big studios,

86
00:06:57,718 --> 00:06:59,158
whose glory days
they had passed.

87
00:07:00,299 --> 00:07:02,739
I met non-screenwriters
products with expired contracts.

88
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:05,984
I knew terrible actors
that they taught

89
00:07:06,548 --> 00:07:08,628
methods for expressing emotions
to other bad actors

90
00:07:09,591 --> 00:07:13,712
who only dream of being able to win
an audition, sooner or later.

91
00:07:15,421 --> 00:07:16,501
He was sitting, Byron Tiller.

92
00:07:17,838 --> 00:07:19,478
Not long ago he believed
than writing novels

93
00:07:20,461 --> 00:07:22,301
that no one would read
it was a real job.

94
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,210
Sell, dude.
Sell!

95
00:07:26,792 --> 00:07:29,232
The goals become fewer
ambitious when money is needed.

96
00:07:30,918 --> 00:07:32,706
- Good morning.
- Priority.

97
00:07:33,165 --> 00:07:35,405
Yes, sir.
Thank you.

98
00:07:35,872 --> 00:07:40,079
The perfect kind of man
for my agency.

99
00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:48,580
Don't let it go to your head,

100
00:07:49,368 --> 00:07:52,781
she would get involved
even from a tree trunk!

101
00:07:52,868 --> 00:07:53,948
As long as the branch stays straight!

102
00:07:55,535 --> 00:07:57,489
- Enter.
- Thank you.

103
00:08:05,655 --> 00:08:10,727
You're the first one I thought of.
You published my latest novel.

104
00:08:11,739 --> 00:08:16,939
I said to myself:
“Team that wins, we don't change.”

105
00:08:18,193 --> 00:08:19,673
- A biscuit?
- No, I'm fine, thanks.

106
00:08:20,777 --> 00:08:22,857
It can also be cut here and there,
you are the editor.

107
00:08:25,068 --> 00:08:27,188
What I know about Exalibur
it's just a really nice sword.

108
00:08:28,317 --> 00:08:30,317
If one wants to commit suicide
you can buy this book.

109
00:08:31,065 --> 00:08:33,305
It is the sword that Arthur drew
from the rock and became king.

110
00:08:34,939 --> 00:08:36,059
- I know the story.
- Certain.

111
00:08:37,898 --> 00:08:41,262
It's a little out of place
in the novel about emigrants.

112
00:08:42,103 --> 00:08:45,800
Exalibur is just a symbol.

113
00:08:46,896 --> 00:08:47,896
A symbol.

114
00:08:48,185 --> 00:08:50,946
For me it represents the hopes of the
oppressed and dreams for the future.

115
00:08:54,349 --> 00:08:57,799
- Emigrants are a microcosm.
- We all are.

116
00:08:59,641 --> 00:09:01,121
- See, we have a problem.
- And that is?

117
00:09:03,890 --> 00:09:06,010
I'll tell you a secret about microcosms:
people hate them.

118
00:09:07,846 --> 00:09:08,886
- I knew it.
- Think about it!

119
00:09:10,012 --> 00:09:11,892
Who wants to be on a bus
and read a book

120
00:09:13,469 --> 00:09:15,149
who tells him he belongs
of a microcosm?

121
00:09:16,012 --> 00:09:18,172
He already knows! People look at each other
around and is aware of it.

122
00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:20,950
Symbolism is a disruption
of balls.

123
00:09:21,550 --> 00:09:23,990
A poor guy buys a book
and he wants everything to be clear.

124
00:09:25,091 --> 00:09:27,691
Nobody wants to waste time
and search for deeper meanings.

125
00:09:29,132 --> 00:09:32,959
My wife says that's the thing
best I've ever written.

126
00:09:33,630 --> 00:09:36,878
Your wife must love you very much.

127
00:09:41,212 --> 00:09:43,692
You know, I'm always open
to any kind of suggestion,

128
00:09:45,501 --> 00:09:47,381
- of change...
- It wouldn't be right for you.

129
00:09:48,251 --> 00:09:53,074
- Anything.
- I understand. Next time.

130
00:09:57,915 --> 00:09:59,395
- Could I have an advance?
- About what?

131
00:10:00,415 --> 00:10:02,215
- On the next book.
- I would like to help you, but...

132
00:10:03,829 --> 00:10:09,164
Virgil, I know my problems
They're not your problems.

133
00:10:11,786 --> 00:10:14,700
But I have nothing left
to move forward.

134
00:10:15,869 --> 00:10:16,909
- Are you that desperate?
- Yes.

135
00:10:18,619 --> 00:10:22,942
Then use this emotion!

136
00:10:23,657 --> 00:10:28,398
The best novels were
written in desperation.

137
00:10:31,863 --> 00:10:34,614
Even the goodbye letters
of suicides.

138
00:10:37,363 --> 00:10:40,083
What does one care about emigrants?
in a $1,400 dress?

139
00:10:41,111 --> 00:10:42,591
To your editor
I don't like your book.

140
00:10:43,444 --> 00:10:46,561
Follow my advice.
Fuck him.

141
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,394
Thanks, Henry.
You really cheer me up!

142
00:10:55,482 --> 00:10:56,482
- Greetings.
- How is it going?

143
00:10:59,439 --> 00:11:01,399
We didn't introduce ourselves.
My name is Luther Fox.

144
00:11:05,062 --> 00:11:09,305
- Byron Tiller.
- So you're a writer...

145
00:11:10,728 --> 00:11:12,328
- More or less.
- I read something of yours.

146
00:11:13,436 --> 00:11:15,759
I doubt it, honestly.

147
00:11:16,516 --> 00:11:19,036
I only managed to publish
a book: “Hitler's son”.

148
00:11:21,142 --> 00:11:23,214
I liked it.

149
00:11:24,226 --> 00:11:25,386
- Have you read it?
- Are you surprised?

150
00:11:26,557 --> 00:11:28,117
I have never met
an admirer of mine.

151
00:11:30,805 --> 00:11:32,346
Here's one.

152
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,587
What are you doing now?

153
00:11:37,470 --> 00:11:40,669
I'm working on some ideas.

154
00:11:41,677 --> 00:11:45,043
But I think I would be better at it
like a window cleaner or so.

155
00:11:45,883 --> 00:11:46,883
That doesn't suit you, does it?

156
00:11:47,634 --> 00:11:50,234
Heminguay sold mountains
of books even before killing himself,

157
00:11:52,007 --> 00:11:53,567
while I'm in the pile
of inventories.

158
00:11:54,505 --> 00:11:56,905
This represents a species
of a metaphorical death sentence.

159
00:11:59,421 --> 00:12:01,541
You don't feel like you've traded
a hair for a beam?

160
00:12:02,922 --> 00:12:05,122
My problem is that I'm dry
and I have no more resources.

161
00:12:06,711 --> 00:12:09,116
When you have a family...

162
00:12:11,168 --> 00:12:14,616
unfortunately we don't go far.

163
00:12:15,584 --> 00:12:19,624
A man supports his family
only if he makes the necessary sacrifices.

164
00:12:21,290 --> 00:12:22,665
I have to go now.

165
00:12:24,831 --> 00:12:27,112
Anyway, thanks for the beer
and for listening to me.

166
00:12:30,287 --> 00:12:32,327
If I can't find work
not even as a window cleaner

167
00:12:34,246 --> 00:12:38,368
come by my office,
maybe I can do something for you.

168
00:12:38,452 --> 00:12:42,777
In my agency I need people
with experience and sensitivity.

169
00:12:48,991 --> 00:12:52,486
Elysian Fields.
Always at your service.

170
00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:01,447
What did the editor say?

171
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,065
- Why don't you sleep?
- I couldn't do it, I was waiting for you.

172
00:13:06,777 --> 00:13:08,257
He said I have to change
of things.

173
00:13:09,069 --> 00:13:10,893
But he liked it, didn't he?

174
00:13:12,276 --> 00:13:13,516
Liked is a relative term.

175
00:13:14,483 --> 00:13:19,389
- Related to what?
- Whether you are John Grisman or not!

176
00:13:20,190 --> 00:13:23,104
With people like me
it's never too expansive!

177
00:13:25,563 --> 00:13:27,269
He'll publish it to you, won't he?

178
00:13:33,478 --> 00:13:37,934
- Did he tell you when?
- It depends on the marketing department.

179
00:13:38,476 --> 00:13:41,474
He'll let me know, he said.

180
00:13:46,767 --> 00:13:49,252
I told you
that would have been fine.

181
00:13:56,721 --> 00:13:58,961
Paul Pearson!

182
00:14:00,886 --> 00:14:03,167
- I knew it was you.
- What a pleasure, how are things going?

183
00:14:05,718 --> 00:14:07,518
Great, I posted
my first novel.

184
00:14:08,678 --> 00:14:11,358
I heard it. I wanted to buy it but
there isn't a bookstore that had it!

185
00:14:14,464 --> 00:14:16,344
- How's it going at the office?
- You know how advertising is.

186
00:14:17,839 --> 00:14:20,199
- It kills you slowly.
- But I miss the action, the rush.

187
00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:24,479
- You are always full of adrenaline!
- Already.

188
00:14:25,379 --> 00:14:27,099
If you like
I might consider returning.

189
00:14:29,586 --> 00:14:33,994
- You sent me to screw myself.
- It was the adrenaline talking.

190
00:14:34,752 --> 00:14:35,752
- Would you like to come back?
- Yes.

191
00:14:37,170 --> 00:14:38,690
- The salary would be lower.
- All right.

192
00:14:39,416 --> 00:14:40,976
- The shitty profits.
- Anything.

193
00:14:42,540 --> 00:14:44,260
It's a good attitude,
you weren't like this before.

194
00:14:46,081 --> 00:14:50,454
- You know, I'm grown up now.
- I'm glad to hear you say that.

195
00:14:51,581 --> 00:14:52,741
Thanks, see you in the morning?

196
00:14:53,580 --> 00:14:58,036
I actually think it's better if you...
go fuck yourself.

197
00:14:59,452 --> 00:15:01,612
Congratulations, Byron.
Have you come here to celebrate?

198
00:15:02,370 --> 00:15:04,210
- Where else?
- You are my favorite customers.

199
00:15:05,325 --> 00:15:07,365
- I bring you my best wine.
- It is not needed.

200
00:15:08,534 --> 00:15:10,987
- It's my gift to the author.
- You're a friend.

201
00:15:16,905 --> 00:15:19,385
Don't get angry... It would be better
ask my parents for money.

202
00:15:21,155 --> 00:15:22,995
- Mom, I want ice cream.
- Your father hates me.

203
00:15:24,612 --> 00:15:26,732
He will gladly lend them to you,
it will make him feel important.

204
00:15:28,072 --> 00:15:30,472
- Mom, I want ice cream.
- I don't want to give him satisfaction.

205
00:15:31,319 --> 00:15:32,759
Darling,
he will never be satisfied.

206
00:15:34,734 --> 00:15:39,474
When will you publish the novel
you will pay them back with interest.

207
00:15:44,398 --> 00:15:46,078
- What if your father was right?
- About what?

208
00:15:48,272 --> 00:15:50,760
That maybe I'm a failure.

209
00:15:55,686 --> 00:15:57,726
You love me so much
that you think everything will work out.

210
00:15:58,352 --> 00:16:00,806
But of course...

211
00:16:04,809 --> 00:16:07,759
Unconditional love
it fills me with responsibility.

212
00:16:08,893 --> 00:16:10,348
You'll make it.

213
00:16:13,389 --> 00:16:15,629
- I love you.
- We will see each other later.

214
00:16:17,514 --> 00:16:20,049
What do you want to do now, champ?

215
00:16:20,803 --> 00:16:23,836
- Do you want to go to the park for a while?
- Yes.

216
00:16:25,970 --> 00:16:28,209
They're bitter cabbages!

217
00:16:29,094 --> 00:16:31,494
You can write the Divine Comedy,
but no one buys it anyway!

218
00:16:31,844 --> 00:16:35,587
Get the latest book.
Nice reviews from the Times!

219
00:16:36,549 --> 00:16:37,949
But it was a disaster,
isn't it true?

220
00:16:39,133 --> 00:16:41,013
- Yes, more or less.
- So what's the point of writing?

221
00:16:42,589 --> 00:16:44,509
Let's ask Guttemberg,
he invented the printing press!

222
00:16:45,756 --> 00:16:47,756
I am not interested!
Let's cut the bullshit.

223
00:16:50,128 --> 00:16:54,621
- You need money, right?
- Yes, that's right.

224
00:16:54,712 --> 00:16:58,372
I thought about it and decided

225
00:16:59,128 --> 00:17:00,808
- that this time I won't lend them to you.
- All right.

226
00:17:02,293 --> 00:17:04,574
Do you know what Shakespeare says?
Never be a debtor or creditor.

227
00:17:07,250 --> 00:17:09,130
I'm only here because I promised
to your daughter.

228
00:17:11,917 --> 00:17:17,068
And that I would lick your ass.
So my job is done.

229
00:17:18,663 --> 00:17:24,328
You will never be able to maintain
your family. You know it too!

230
00:17:54,777 --> 00:17:56,768
- HI.
- Greetings.

231
00:18:11,690 --> 00:18:13,976
- Yes?
- Greetings.

232
00:18:15,272 --> 00:18:16,312
Is Mr. Fox around?

233
00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:19,150
The office is all here,
do you see it somewhere?

234
00:18:20,686 --> 00:18:22,646
You can tell him that Byron Tiller
did you come to visit him?

235
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,132
Byron Tiller the writer?

236
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,600
- Do you know me?
- Certain.

237
00:18:32,350 --> 00:18:34,055
Luther told me about you.

238
00:18:36,890 --> 00:18:38,430
Right.

239
00:18:39,555 --> 00:18:41,795
My fame is growing.

240
00:18:56,011 --> 00:18:58,083
I knew I'd find you here.

241
00:18:58,965 --> 00:19:01,045
Nora, my secretary,
he told me you stopped by.

242
00:19:02,090 --> 00:19:04,450
- She didn't like me very much!
- I've known her for 6 years...

243
00:19:06,716 --> 00:19:11,252
She only likes romance novels
and raisin chocolates.

244
00:19:12,130 --> 00:19:14,610
- You have a rather small office.
- It's not really an office.

245
00:19:16,461 --> 00:19:18,021
It's more of a place
where to receive messages.

246
00:19:19,586 --> 00:19:22,156
Right, that's what I thought.

247
00:19:23,418 --> 00:19:26,098
You told me the other day that
could you do something for me, so...

248
00:19:28,499 --> 00:19:29,899
Come to my table
let's talk about it.

249
00:19:30,375 --> 00:19:32,246
Certain.

250
00:19:33,916 --> 00:19:36,516
The only other job I had
he was in an advertising agency.

251
00:19:38,122 --> 00:19:40,682
Now they don't want me anymore.
I've searched everywhere,

252
00:19:42,372 --> 00:19:47,525
but what I hear is that
I'm not qualified to do anything else.

253
00:19:49,077 --> 00:19:52,028
So, what do you do?
What job do you do?

254
00:19:52,117 --> 00:19:56,064
I Campi Elisi is an agency
of companions.

255
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:04,938
An escort agency?

256
00:20:09,072 --> 00:20:11,432
It's like being on the corner of the
street with a cowboy hat?

257
00:20:14,569 --> 00:20:15,889
- No, we are not hustlers.
- No?

258
00:20:18,028 --> 00:20:19,748
We deal with single women
that they need

259
00:20:20,444 --> 00:20:21,764
of emotional and spiritual comfort.

260
00:20:23,235 --> 00:20:24,235
Of women...

261
00:20:25,277 --> 00:20:28,059
- Often it's just friendship.
- Only women?

262
00:20:28,150 --> 00:20:30,222
I'm a bit old fashioned.

263
00:20:32,065 --> 00:20:34,585
And that's the job for
did you think I was suitable?

264
00:20:36,564 --> 00:20:38,124
You are handsome, well educated,
compassionate.

265
00:20:39,896 --> 00:20:42,016
- Do you know that I am compassionate?
- I read the novel.

266
00:20:43,102 --> 00:20:44,742
- Compassion is his strength.
- Thank you.

267
00:20:46,395 --> 00:20:49,593
Even if the premise is horrendous.

268
00:20:52,642 --> 00:20:54,122
If I had read
the back cover

269
00:20:54,476 --> 00:20:56,476
you would have noticed that I am married
and that I have a son.

270
00:20:58,182 --> 00:20:59,462
- Better.
- In what sense, better?

271
00:21:00,848 --> 00:21:07,093
We are professionals. The family
prevents connections with customers.

272
00:21:08,178 --> 00:21:09,178
Do you have family?

273
00:21:09,806 --> 00:21:11,806
I'm not that lucky,
but many collaborators do.

274
00:21:14,095 --> 00:21:16,055
I don't want to get into the chair
or be a moralist,

275
00:21:18,344 --> 00:21:19,944
but these affairs
Don't they make you feel ashamed?

276
00:21:21,301 --> 00:21:24,003
No, but poverty, yes!

277
00:21:25,674 --> 00:21:27,514
What I suggest
it can be temporary,

278
00:21:29,672 --> 00:21:31,792
just to get you through
this difficult moment.

279
00:21:32,589 --> 00:21:34,544
Temporary...

280
00:22:00,790 --> 00:22:04,783
The bear's feet are hairy.

281
00:22:08,204 --> 00:22:10,524
How are you? I was passing by here
and I wanted to thank you...

282
00:22:13,536 --> 00:22:15,336
- You already thanked me.
- I don't remember.

283
00:22:17,451 --> 00:22:19,851
I do... it's not easy to be polite
one step away from suicide.

284
00:22:21,742 --> 00:22:23,502
You impressed me.
Sorry, I have to answer.

285
00:22:24,867 --> 00:22:29,653
- Listen, I'll be back another time.
- No, come in.

286
00:22:30,197 --> 00:22:32,733
- Are you sure?
- Absolutely.

287
00:22:36,778 --> 00:22:40,559
Ready?
I didn't know you were back, dear!

288
00:22:41,152 --> 00:22:42,729
You come!

289
00:22:43,611 --> 00:22:47,189
I thought you would stay in Libya
one more month. Enter!

290
00:22:49,399 --> 00:22:51,142
I know, it can happen.

291
00:22:53,607 --> 00:22:58,228
You are always beautiful, my dear.
Naturally!

292
00:22:58,898 --> 00:23:02,973
I don't know if I can do anything
in such a short time!

293
00:23:05,853 --> 00:23:07,253
- How much hair do you have on your chest?
- What?

294
00:23:09,436 --> 00:23:12,801
- How much hair do you have on your chest?
- How many hairs? Why?

295
00:23:13,351 --> 00:23:16,031
With what they pay they can do
the difficult ones. I'll call you back at 5.

296
00:23:18,476 --> 00:23:22,682
I think I'll find you someone
for that time. Goodbye, dear.

297
00:23:24,307 --> 00:23:25,947
- No, it's not good for you.
- Listen, Luther.

298
00:23:27,681 --> 00:23:29,801
I must confess to you that I thought
to yesterday's proposal.

299
00:23:31,346 --> 00:23:32,346
- Do you play tennis?
- Bad.

300
00:23:33,929 --> 00:23:35,369
- Well, she hates losing!
- She, who?

301
00:23:37,054 --> 00:23:39,209
- Mrs. Franklin Bachner.
- Listen...

302
00:23:41,176 --> 00:23:43,656
- I was awake last night...
- Loreta Forbs of Los Angeles.

303
00:23:45,675 --> 00:23:47,115
46 years old, loves opera, ballet...

304
00:23:48,008 --> 00:23:49,488
I thought
to something temporary...

305
00:23:53,050 --> 00:23:57,291
Something like opera, tennis,
the ballet...

306
00:24:01,588 --> 00:24:03,625
I don't want to do...

307
00:24:05,588 --> 00:24:06,588
Well, you get it.

308
00:24:07,378 --> 00:24:09,285
I don't want to have sex.

309
00:24:16,750 --> 00:24:18,230
Maybe I'm high
a wrong idea.

310
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,162
An idea is wrong if it doesn't work.

311
00:24:23,290 --> 00:24:25,610
Right. Maybe in the future you can
find me a nice old woman

312
00:24:27,206 --> 00:24:28,646
who only seeks
a bridge buddy.

313
00:24:30,872 --> 00:24:32,512
Byron, I was nervous too
the first time.

314
00:24:35,579 --> 00:24:37,779
That's why someone matters
that is congenial to you.

315
00:24:40,077 --> 00:24:41,557
We can at least try
a symmetry.

316
00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:48,150
Faith and glasses
they must disappear, of course.

317
00:24:52,491 --> 00:24:55,051
- I appreciate what you're doing.
- I haven't done anything yet.

318
00:24:56,489 --> 00:24:58,409
- Maybe it's better this way.
- Angela Allcott, 35 years old.

319
00:25:01,652 --> 00:25:06,192
Charismatic, angel face.
You should have a lot in common.

320
00:25:06,652 --> 00:25:10,064
Her husband is also a writer,
just like you.

321
00:25:10,774 --> 00:25:14,187
- Perfect.
- Do you know him? Tobias Allcott.

322
00:25:16,067 --> 00:25:17,707
Tobias Allcott?
Pulitzer winner?

323
00:25:19,148 --> 00:25:20,148
I think he won three.

324
00:25:21,648 --> 00:25:25,392
But “Pulitzer Prize winner“
it has more effect.

325
00:25:27,145 --> 00:25:29,305
I attended university
a course on his work.

326
00:25:32,854 --> 00:25:34,594
And what grade did you get?

327
00:25:35,852 --> 00:25:37,228
B.

328
00:25:39,101 --> 00:25:41,508
It's an opportunity to delve deeper.

329
00:26:03,553 --> 00:26:06,551
Honey, have you seen my earring?

330
00:26:08,550 --> 00:26:09,550
What did you do with it, did you swallow it?

331
00:26:12,139 --> 00:26:14,839
I have a special feeling
about that guy.

332
00:26:14,966 --> 00:26:16,566
You always had instinct
for these things.

333
00:26:18,090 --> 00:26:20,294
You are right.

334
00:26:21,507 --> 00:26:23,876
It must be quite a responsibility.

335
00:26:25,088 --> 00:26:27,568
When the teacher gives the art of
Picasso saw his first sketches,

336
00:26:28,878 --> 00:26:31,449
he must have felt he was special.

337
00:26:32,336 --> 00:26:34,336
That's what I felt too
when I saw you.

338
00:26:36,336 --> 00:26:38,056
Darling, you are tremendously romantic,
do you know?

339
00:26:39,832 --> 00:26:43,115
Optimistic!
It's much worse.

340
00:26:45,665 --> 00:26:47,372
It's late.

341
00:26:49,124 --> 00:26:51,405
- Why don't we go back to bed?
- George is waiting for me.

342
00:26:54,538 --> 00:26:56,098
Come on, let's celebrate ours
anniversary.

343
00:26:58,245 --> 00:27:01,078
Don't you think it's premature?

344
00:27:02,036 --> 00:27:04,476
The best time to celebrate
It's before it's all over.

345
00:27:06,035 --> 00:27:09,649
Don't worry, it won't happen.

346
00:27:16,032 --> 00:27:17,312
- Here.
- Why this check?

347
00:27:19,488 --> 00:27:22,570
It's from last month,
I had forgotten.

348
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,729
Me too.

349
00:27:37,108 --> 00:27:38,508
- Are you going out?
- Didn't I tell you?

350
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:42,480
I have an appointment with the editors
from Little Brown.

351
00:27:43,898 --> 00:27:45,178
- At this time?
- Aperitif and dinner.

352
00:27:46,106 --> 00:27:49,600
- Why?
- It's too early to talk about it.

353
00:27:49,980 --> 00:27:53,345
- Not me.
- I'm superstitious, you know.

354
00:27:54,937 --> 00:27:57,011
It is not true.

355
00:27:58,226 --> 00:28:00,348
For the good things, yes.

356
00:28:01,601 --> 00:28:05,596
You haven't noticed because I'm not there
been good things.

357
00:28:17,889 --> 00:28:19,489
Maybe I'll be in the club of
“Book of the Month“.

358
00:28:20,472 --> 00:28:22,072
- Really?
- Don't get excited, it's not safe.

359
00:28:24,010 --> 00:28:25,010
No, darling.
It's fantastic!

360
00:28:27,343 --> 00:28:31,208
Maybe they'll put me in there in February.

361
00:28:33,384 --> 00:28:36,215
Too bad, you have nothing to wear.

362
00:28:37,217 --> 00:28:38,817
It's just dinner,
I will be covered by the table.

363
00:28:40,423 --> 00:28:44,499
Get the lobster, so you will be
also covered by the napkin.

364
00:28:57,585 --> 00:28:59,292
I have to go now.

365
00:28:59,667 --> 00:29:03,034
- I want to know everything when you come back.
- Certain.

366
00:29:54,860 --> 00:29:57,894
- You must be the new one.
- Yes.

367
00:29:59,567 --> 00:30:00,767
-Nigel Halsey.
- Byron Tiller.

368
00:30:03,149 --> 00:30:08,303
Yes, the writer.
The owner was impressed.

369
00:30:08,815 --> 00:30:10,936
He dotes on you.

370
00:30:12,148 --> 00:30:13,428
Let's see...
my God, her again!

371
00:30:15,354 --> 00:30:18,601
Never tell a client that she has a nice
Ass, you'll never get it out of your way again.

372
00:30:20,018 --> 00:30:23,846
Do you want to wear a Bulgari?

373
00:30:25,144 --> 00:30:28,141
- No, you take it.
- Thank you.

374
00:30:29,309 --> 00:30:31,928
You never did
this type of work?

375
00:30:34,516 --> 00:30:35,636
- No.
- It's as easy as falling.

376
00:30:37,013 --> 00:30:38,533
But you have to wait
that she's finished.

377
00:30:41,513 --> 00:30:47,840
Luther said not all
they ask to do it, if I'm not mistaken.

378
00:30:48,220 --> 00:30:51,254
Right, but you'll get used to it.

379
00:30:52,051 --> 00:30:54,691
When they want me to hug them afterwards
as if it meant something,

380
00:30:55,135 --> 00:30:57,375
then yes that's bullshit!
But business is business!

381
00:30:58,883 --> 00:31:01,403
It's like selling used cars,
let's give them what they pay for.

382
00:31:02,382 --> 00:31:03,822
But don't worry,
it will be fine.

383
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:11,165
All these ugly sluts
they just want company and sex.

384
00:31:12,797 --> 00:31:15,249
We are like little dogs
erect.

385
00:31:17,545 --> 00:31:21,076
- I will keep this image in mind.
- Well.

386
00:31:40,537 --> 00:31:43,536
- Ready?
- Hi, it's me.

387
00:31:44,412 --> 00:31:45,412
Something wrong?

388
00:31:46,827 --> 00:31:49,031
No, it's just that...

389
00:31:51,035 --> 00:31:52,555
I felt like telling you
that I love you.

390
00:31:53,492 --> 00:31:54,492
- And I love you.
- Why?

391
00:31:57,950 --> 00:31:59,739
You know why...

392
00:32:03,074 --> 00:32:04,613
Tell me, please.

393
00:32:05,780 --> 00:32:07,140
Because... you're smart and funny

394
00:32:10,572 --> 00:32:13,651
- and pfeMUfOSO.
- Dena...

395
00:32:18,568 --> 00:32:20,888
- I don't think I'm what you say.
- Byron, you're just nervous.

396
00:32:23,610 --> 00:32:25,210
- But everything's fine, do you know why?
- Why?

397
00:32:27,899 --> 00:32:32,888
Because I'm here and I believe in you,
okay?

398
00:32:47,144 --> 00:32:48,504
Everyone is nervous the first time.

399
00:32:50,185 --> 00:32:52,425
It was important for Byron to meet
a beautiful woman,

400
00:32:53,642 --> 00:32:56,322
a woman like Angela Allcott. He had
truly the face of an angel.

401
00:32:58,390 --> 00:32:59,630
And it wasn't just his face.

402
00:33:01,682 --> 00:33:04,202
Plastic surgeons make money
enough to buy villas and yachts

403
00:33:05,346 --> 00:33:08,066
because they subjugate nature, but
Angela wasn't just any angel.

404
00:33:11,054 --> 00:33:15,130
I'm sure about her, God
he had personally put his hands on it.

405
00:33:20,926 --> 00:33:23,212
You must be the agency man.

406
00:33:28,588 --> 00:33:30,048
Yes.

407
00:33:49,666 --> 00:33:54,287
I hate coming here alone. I would have
given up, but it's for charity.

408
00:33:56,165 --> 00:34:00,821
Shows this boring make a
bad service to charity!

409
00:34:22,448 --> 00:34:24,168
So, what would you like to do now?
Are you hungry?

410
00:34:26,490 --> 00:34:28,330
Not really...
but a biscuit would be perfect.

411
00:34:31,240 --> 00:34:35,398
A biscuit? Of course.
A biscuit, please.

412
00:34:37,278 --> 00:34:39,684
- How much?
- Two dollars.

413
00:34:40,570 --> 00:34:44,858
- Can you give me a receipt?
- No, sir.

414
00:34:45,484 --> 00:34:47,558
- Here it is.
- Thank you.

415
00:34:49,274 --> 00:34:53,019
You don't have to thank me,
they are business expenses.

416
00:34:54,817 --> 00:34:57,177
Which brings up a question for me
which I don't think I should do to you.

417
00:34:59,772 --> 00:35:04,309
Asking is your right,
don't answer it's mine.

418
00:35:06,395 --> 00:35:10,850
Because you didn't think
to bring a friend this evening?

419
00:35:14,059 --> 00:35:15,517
Right.

420
00:35:16,058 --> 00:35:18,138
Because a person like you
does he need someone like me?

421
00:35:20,183 --> 00:35:22,703
There are occasions when a woman
must have a companion.

422
00:35:23,516 --> 00:35:29,215
Yes, but... I think it would have been
easy for you to have a real one.

423
00:35:29,887 --> 00:35:30,887
And you're not real?

424
00:35:32,221 --> 00:35:36,462
I mean...
someone you don't have to book.

425
00:35:39,468 --> 00:35:40,927
I'm married.

426
00:35:42,675 --> 00:35:47,878
- This would not be an impediment.
- And I love my husband very much.

427
00:35:49,799 --> 00:35:51,670
And this is very beautiful.

428
00:35:53,382 --> 00:35:55,123
I think so too.

429
00:35:56,673 --> 00:35:58,876
What are you doing, taking a taxi?

430
00:36:01,171 --> 00:36:05,329
- Yes.
- Goodnight, Mr. Tiller.

431
00:36:11,627 --> 00:36:13,333
Good night.

432
00:36:34,162 --> 00:36:39,493
I would be grateful if you could send
the check immediately.

433
00:36:39,951 --> 00:36:42,440
Yes.
Thanks, goodbye.

434
00:36:43,992 --> 00:36:45,952
I don't understand why he does so much
stories to pay.

435
00:36:46,742 --> 00:36:48,982
- He got what he wanted.
- I saw you last night.

436
00:36:49,781 --> 00:36:50,781
- Where?
- At the concert.

437
00:36:51,532 --> 00:36:56,436
- Oh, yeah...
- She's very beautiful.

438
00:36:56,737 --> 00:36:58,177
Jennifer Adler
She has been my client for years.

439
00:36:59,947 --> 00:37:01,867
In fact it is the only one of which
I take care of it personally.

440
00:37:03,319 --> 00:37:05,239
If it wasn't for her
I would have retired already.

441
00:37:07,150 --> 00:37:10,682
I think I'll do it now.

442
00:37:11,401 --> 00:37:12,401
So soon?

443
00:37:12,817 --> 00:37:17,190
Not sure if it's cut
for this job.

444
00:37:17,275 --> 00:37:21,349
- Byron, do you doubt my instincts?
- No.

445
00:37:21,939 --> 00:37:25,305
So, I hope you like it
experimental theatre.

446
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,596
I hate coming to these things alone.

447
00:37:49,974 --> 00:37:50,974
I would have freed myself, but...

448
00:37:51,389 --> 00:37:54,969
Let me guess.
Is it for charity?

449
00:38:01,511 --> 00:38:05,755
I have two puppets on my rear window
that move like them.

450
00:38:10,344 --> 00:38:11,881
So...

451
00:38:16,715 --> 00:38:19,085
Would you like a biscuit?

452
00:38:31,212 --> 00:38:33,000
Do you want me to go up this time?

453
00:38:34,169 --> 00:38:35,496
If you like.

454
00:38:37,083 --> 00:38:38,955
If I don't get on, will the check bounce?

455
00:38:40,833 --> 00:38:41,913
- Could be.
- Where, ma'am?

456
00:38:43,082 --> 00:38:45,038
In Pasadena.

457
00:39:02,910 --> 00:39:05,742
- Do you want one?
- No thank you.

458
00:39:10,907 --> 00:39:12,827
- Do you often go out with your companion?
- Not often.

459
00:39:15,697 --> 00:39:20,354
First there was a friend of my husband's,
but then unfortunately he died.

460
00:39:37,525 --> 00:39:38,885
Do you want me to walk you to the door?

461
00:39:39,690 --> 00:39:42,095
If you like...

462
00:39:49,855 --> 00:39:53,053
- Thank you, Philipp.
- Good night.

463
00:39:54,895 --> 00:39:57,181
Do you like chocolate?

464
00:39:59,227 --> 00:40:02,807
- Do you make it with milk or water?
- Milk, obviously.

465
00:40:04,684 --> 00:40:07,007
What if I said with water?

466
00:40:07,933 --> 00:40:10,302
I would have asked you for a mint.

467
00:40:15,598 --> 00:40:17,505
It's very good.

468
00:40:17,597 --> 00:40:22,088
I didn't know how much milk went into it,
I usually make it with water.

469
00:40:22,844 --> 00:40:25,678
To your husband
don't like chocolate?

470
00:40:27,426 --> 00:40:29,465
Tobias has diabetes.

471
00:40:30,968 --> 00:40:35,588
You seem so young to be
married to a man like him.

472
00:40:37,466 --> 00:40:40,298
It didn't matter at first.

473
00:40:42,631 --> 00:40:43,911
But in the last couple of years, you know...

474
00:40:45,423 --> 00:40:47,223
I'm sure it's difficult
for a writer.

475
00:40:49,547 --> 00:40:51,667
And what do you know?

476
00:40:52,253 --> 00:40:54,043
I'm a writer too.

477
00:40:56,251 --> 00:40:59,249
- Really?
- Yes, really.

478
00:41:00,209 --> 00:41:03,124
- Surprised?
- No.

479
00:41:05,540 --> 00:41:09,616
You're not the type to settle
to accompany single women.

480
00:41:10,706 --> 00:41:11,706
So you're alone...

481
00:41:12,289 --> 00:41:13,369
There is no worse loneliness

482
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:17,652
than seeing the man you love
die slowly.

483
00:41:21,703 --> 00:41:22,823
Death is the only immortal

484
00:41:25,162 --> 00:41:27,562
who treats us the same way,
whose mercy, whose peace,

485
00:41:28,119 --> 00:41:32,609
whose refuge, they are for everyone.

486
00:41:34,283 --> 00:41:36,852
- It's very beautiful.
- Mark Twain.

487
00:41:38,656 --> 00:41:41,192
The reality is less poetic.

488
00:41:48,904 --> 00:41:50,562
Excuse me.

489
00:42:34,682 --> 00:42:36,402
Hi love.
What are you doing up at this hour?

490
00:42:37,558 --> 00:42:41,881
- I have to have an insulin injection.
- But are you feeling well?

491
00:42:43,304 --> 00:42:45,544
Yes, I'm fine.

492
00:42:48,677 --> 00:42:51,925
Honey, meet Byron Tiller.

493
00:43:05,424 --> 00:43:07,295
Greetings.

494
00:43:08,338 --> 00:43:09,618
Hello, sir.

495
00:43:09,713 --> 00:43:12,877
- He's a writer.
- Oh yes, really?

496
00:43:15,505 --> 00:43:17,265
Yes, I write a little.
Of course, not at his level.

497
00:43:18,918 --> 00:43:22,415
At least this consoles me.

498
00:43:22,834 --> 00:43:24,194
Do you want something to eat, darling?

499
00:43:25,877 --> 00:43:29,573
No thank you. Keep doing that
what were you doing.

500
00:43:31,873 --> 00:43:33,662
It's an honor to have met you.

501
00:43:34,624 --> 00:43:39,990
I was about to say "the pleasure is mine",
but that would be stupid!

502
00:43:43,702 --> 00:43:45,280
Good night.

503
00:43:51,244 --> 00:43:52,583
Shit!

504
00:44:44,274 --> 00:44:45,933
Byron Tiller?

505
00:44:48,137 --> 00:44:50,294
You are an authentic phenomenon.

506
00:45:06,340 --> 00:45:08,579
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

507
00:45:10,256 --> 00:45:12,256
- So, did you sleep well?
- I didn't sleep a wink.

508
00:45:14,338 --> 00:45:16,138
Me neither!
Apparently we suffer from insomnia.

509
00:45:18,586 --> 00:45:20,146
Lotti got me going
with some coffee.

510
00:45:21,876 --> 00:45:25,869
Lotti, you shouldn't give him
the mug is a guest.

511
00:45:26,459 --> 00:45:30,783
- No thank you. I'm not hungry.
- It's not for her!

512
00:45:35,123 --> 00:45:37,243
Mr. Allcott
he wants you to bring him breakfast.

513
00:45:38,538 --> 00:45:39,538
I? Why?

514
00:45:40,955 --> 00:45:45,112
I don't know this,
he will tell you himself.

515
00:46:08,737 --> 00:46:11,142
Come in, come in!

516
00:46:11,653 --> 00:46:13,934
I could hear him typing
and I didn't want to disturb her...

517
00:46:14,902 --> 00:46:17,390
but his breakfast is getting cold.

518
00:46:18,860 --> 00:46:22,472
Yes, it makes no difference anyway.
I can't eat it.

519
00:46:24,025 --> 00:46:26,025
A poached egg
that's all I'm allowed.

520
00:46:27,149 --> 00:46:29,309
The rest is there just to not get me
feel the deprivation.

521
00:46:31,314 --> 00:46:33,234
- It will end up in the dog's bowl.
- Enjoy your meal.

522
00:46:35,812 --> 00:46:38,514
Did you have fun last night?

523
00:46:40,936 --> 00:46:42,896
Don't worry, everything is fine.
You have my blessing.

524
00:46:44,893 --> 00:46:47,333
A good husband must make sure
that his wife is looked after...

525
00:46:49,267 --> 00:46:50,827
in the best way,
don't you agree?

526
00:46:52,182 --> 00:46:53,182
Yes, sir.

527
00:46:53,724 --> 00:46:55,804
Maybe I made a mistake in marrying
such a young woman,

528
00:46:57,846 --> 00:46:59,606
but I was very strong
until a few years ago.

529
00:47:01,596 --> 00:47:04,236
- His wife told me about it.
- I guarantee you can believe it.

530
00:47:06,428 --> 00:47:11,842
I'm lucky to live a life
without any limit.

531
00:47:13,134 --> 00:47:14,854
Ultimately...
only God can do it!

532
00:47:18,548 --> 00:47:23,703
Geniuses are given advantages
which are not given to normal men.

533
00:47:24,422 --> 00:47:27,336
- Do you think I'm a genius?
- Yes, certainly.

534
00:47:29,213 --> 00:47:31,167
You're probably right.

535
00:47:33,168 --> 00:47:35,008
Even genius becomes
difficult over time.

536
00:47:38,458 --> 00:47:43,577
You know, at your age, ideas
they came out smoothly.

537
00:47:44,498 --> 00:47:45,738
Now, I have to squeeze them out...

538
00:47:48,457 --> 00:47:50,337
like little farts
before putting them together.

539
00:47:51,829 --> 00:47:53,229
- It will be a moment of crisis.
- Crisis?

540
00:47:54,746 --> 00:47:57,066
It's a crisis when you're in the middle of it
of life, not at the end!

541
00:48:00,078 --> 00:48:01,278
But she's working now...

542
00:48:02,577 --> 00:48:04,697
It took me 1z years
to write this novel!

543
00:48:05,618 --> 00:48:06,618
I'm watching it again.

544
00:48:07,867 --> 00:48:09,947
I'm trying to remove
unnecessary adjectives.

545
00:48:11,240 --> 00:48:15,861
- I can't wait for it to be published.
- Yes, me too.

546
00:48:16,614 --> 00:48:18,214
Also because it stayed with me
little to live.

547
00:48:20,446 --> 00:48:24,604
My organs turned on me
against... bastards!

548
00:48:30,110 --> 00:48:32,598
Would you like to read it?

549
00:48:35,107 --> 00:48:38,307
- Are you really saying this?
- Yes, you are a writer.

550
00:48:39,148 --> 00:48:42,265
I'd like your opinion
of a professional.

551
00:48:51,186 --> 00:48:53,888
My wife thinks
that it is wonderful.

552
00:48:55,892 --> 00:48:58,332
But she's my wife and you can't
trust a value system

553
00:49:00,351 --> 00:49:02,885
when love is involved.

554
00:49:08,347 --> 00:49:11,049
- What are you doing?
- I read.

555
00:49:11,889 --> 00:49:14,449
My editor gave me the latest one
manuscript by Tobias Allcott.

556
00:49:16,096 --> 00:49:17,256
- Is it good?
- Not even a line.

557
00:49:18,511 --> 00:49:19,911
Then put it down
and take care of me.

558
00:49:21,594 --> 00:49:27,127
It's time you spent some time with
your wife instead of with the publisher.

559
00:49:28,966 --> 00:49:30,543
Yes...

560
00:49:39,963 --> 00:49:42,285
- What do you think?
- Very cute.

561
00:49:43,378 --> 00:49:45,858
I spent more than I could,
but you needed a dress.

562
00:49:47,876 --> 00:49:50,157
- Where did you get the money?
- Dad gave us 1,000 dollars.

563
00:49:51,584 --> 00:49:53,704
- But he expects you to apologize to him.
- I never will.

564
00:49:54,001 --> 00:49:56,361
I told him, but I'm sure
that he will get over it. Give it time.

565
00:49:57,666 --> 00:50:01,409
Now.
It says here...

566
00:50:02,580 --> 00:50:04,660
It says here that it's done
with 800% of the good stuff

567
00:50:07,538 --> 00:50:12,608
and with only z00/o less material
expensive, so you don't notice!

568
00:50:13,828 --> 00:50:15,569
And I had the horse strengthened!

569
00:50:16,700 --> 00:50:18,277
Well!

570
00:50:20,034 --> 00:50:24,773
- So, do you like it?
- Yes, it's great.

571
00:50:26,114 --> 00:50:28,474
I told the shopkeeper what it was
for an important novelist,

572
00:50:30,571 --> 00:50:32,171
published by the club
of the “Book of the month“.

573
00:50:33,278 --> 00:50:36,775
Dena, I told you...

574
00:50:37,903 --> 00:50:40,356
nothing is certain yet.

575
00:50:41,235 --> 00:50:44,647
- I'm sending positive vibes.
- I can see that.

576
00:50:52,564 --> 00:50:54,520
I want to make love.

577
00:51:14,433 --> 00:51:16,273
Tobias brought me here
on the first date.

578
00:51:17,183 --> 00:51:18,183
How did you meet him?

579
00:51:19,222 --> 00:51:21,862
I went to interview him at home
his and I never left.

580
00:51:23,305 --> 00:51:24,785
It must have been
a nice interview.

581
00:51:26,139 --> 00:51:28,459
He likes to surround himself with boys,
they make him feel young.

582
00:51:31,762 --> 00:51:37,626
- What are you thinking?
- Which is evidently no longer the case.

583
00:51:42,466 --> 00:51:46,376
His eyes are still young
when he looks at me.

584
00:51:50,422 --> 00:51:52,875
This is the important thing.

585
00:52:03,334 --> 00:52:05,054
He gave you a copy
of the novel to read.

586
00:52:05,958 --> 00:52:06,958
Yes.

587
00:52:07,541 --> 00:52:11,120
It has to keep you in
great consideration then.

588
00:52:11,999 --> 00:52:15,161
- If he doesn't even know me!
- What do you think?

589
00:52:17,248 --> 00:52:18,248
It's beautiful, isn't it?

590
00:52:19,247 --> 00:52:21,913
The best thing
I've ever written.

591
00:52:23,619 --> 00:52:25,907
- It's shit, right?
- Yes.

592
00:52:27,743 --> 00:52:31,357
Would you do something for me?
Tell him.

593
00:52:33,158 --> 00:52:34,838
- Tell him, what?
- That the novel sucks.

594
00:52:36,033 --> 00:52:39,444
- I can't do it.
- The critics will do it.

595
00:52:39,781 --> 00:52:43,988
And this will kill him.
All he has left is his reputation.

596
00:52:44,822 --> 00:52:46,462
I want him to go away
holding it tight.

597
00:52:48,279 --> 00:52:50,683
- I do not know.
- Please, Byron.

598
00:53:01,317 --> 00:53:02,857
Do you mind if I sit down?

599
00:53:06,439 --> 00:53:11,511
- Do you mind if I don't get up?
- They're beautiful.

600
00:53:14,313 --> 00:53:16,635
Yes, that's true.

601
00:53:17,978 --> 00:53:20,138
And with our alms
we are contributing to a...

602
00:53:22,435 --> 00:53:24,758
unnatural laziness.

603
00:53:26,934 --> 00:53:28,454
Many people would like to be reborn
bird!

604
00:53:29,390 --> 00:53:31,430
People don't know what they're saying,
It's a miserable existence!

605
00:53:33,514 --> 00:53:34,754
In short... they live on begging!

606
00:53:37,555 --> 00:53:39,462
Leftovers, for goodness sake!

607
00:53:40,346 --> 00:53:42,466
Maybe for the sense of freedom
that flight represents.

608
00:53:42,845 --> 00:53:48,425
But the birds don't know that!
For them, flying is a job.

609
00:53:50,550 --> 00:53:54,544
Unless you're an eagle
or a hawk.

610
00:53:55,299 --> 00:53:58,250
Free yourself though
it could be pleasant.

611
00:53:59,923 --> 00:54:01,380
Yes...

612
00:54:03,671 --> 00:54:05,311
What would you like to be
in another life?

613
00:54:05,921 --> 00:54:10,991
Nothing. I couldn't feel better
of how I have been in this life.

614
00:54:11,502 --> 00:54:12,747
Never.

615
00:54:13,460 --> 00:54:15,498
Very few can say that.

616
00:54:16,793 --> 00:54:20,537
Yes, that's true. But the thing
It doesn't make living easier.

617
00:54:22,583 --> 00:54:24,454
Nothing changes.

618
00:54:25,998 --> 00:54:31,911
When I worked, I could hear
that call, that magic...

619
00:54:33,370 --> 00:54:34,530
Now that the book is finished,

620
00:54:37,329 --> 00:54:42,115
I can't find a reason anymore
to continue living.

621
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:48,528
Have you read it?

622
00:54:50,325 --> 00:54:51,900
Yes, I read it.

623
00:54:57,447 --> 00:54:59,733
It's beautiful.

624
00:55:05,319 --> 00:55:08,270
As a first draft.

625
00:55:11,693 --> 00:55:15,140
Damn... What the fuck!

626
00:55:17,065 --> 00:55:19,065
- You don't even accept criticism?
- First draft?

627
00:55:21,147 --> 00:55:23,507
- Do you mean to tell me you didn't like it?
- Shall we talk about it later?

628
00:55:24,771 --> 00:55:25,811
- No!
- It sucks, okay?

629
00:55:27,854 --> 00:55:30,223
Does it suck?

630
00:55:32,394 --> 00:55:34,194
- All of it?
- I don't want to be specific.

631
00:55:36,434 --> 00:55:40,723
I have other things to think about.
You could have broken my nose.

632
00:55:42,099 --> 00:55:44,137
Let me see.

633
00:55:46,222 --> 00:55:48,297
Let me see!

634
00:55:49,681 --> 00:55:52,085
Not your nose!

635
00:55:53,096 --> 00:55:54,096
Let's go.

636
00:55:54,888 --> 00:55:56,848
Show me what's wrong
in what I wrote.

637
00:55:58,760 --> 00:55:59,920
I don't want to bleed on it.

638
00:56:00,636 --> 00:56:02,756
My blood is all over the pages.
Tell me what's wrong!

639
00:56:04,425 --> 00:56:06,385
- Why are you a great writer?
- Wasn't he a genius?

640
00:56:07,758 --> 00:56:09,798
It is true. Your strength
These are the characters you're talking about!

641
00:56:11,466 --> 00:56:13,706
They are so real that the reader
can feel the flesh!

642
00:56:14,715 --> 00:56:17,075
Yes, but it's 800 pages about the collapse
of the fucking Roman Empire!

643
00:56:19,962 --> 00:56:21,870
- It's well documented.
- So what?

644
00:56:21,963 --> 00:56:24,323
Damnation! But who the fuck are you
to criticize my work?

645
00:56:26,210 --> 00:56:27,210
- Nobody!
- That's right.

646
00:56:27,877 --> 00:56:30,992
Even a nobody can be right.

647
00:56:38,624 --> 00:56:40,224
Wait a minute.
Do they allow you to drink?

648
00:56:41,414 --> 00:56:45,193
No, my doctor says
that will kill me.

649
00:56:45,288 --> 00:56:46,288
Let's hope it happens!

650
00:56:47,287 --> 00:56:49,127
I'm not saying what's here
it's not big.

651
00:56:49,786 --> 00:56:50,786
So what are you saying?

652
00:56:51,911 --> 00:56:53,351
You may have taken the wrong approach.

653
00:56:55,243 --> 00:56:57,163
What is the topic
What did you want to base the book on?

654
00:56:58,201 --> 00:57:01,041
Every social structure creates slaves
from other social groups.

655
00:57:02,241 --> 00:57:03,921
- That's great.
- Thanks for the approval.

656
00:57:05,240 --> 00:57:06,640
What do you need them for?
the Roman slaves?

657
00:57:07,906 --> 00:57:10,146
- What's wrong with them?
- No one can identify us.

658
00:57:12,237 --> 00:57:14,998
You're telling me I wasted
the last 1z years of my life?

659
00:57:17,277 --> 00:57:18,997
No, but you could express
the same concept

660
00:57:20,319 --> 00:57:21,839
with any other
oppressed group!

661
00:57:23,150 --> 00:57:25,310
It might be the best novel
what have you ever written!

662
00:57:26,401 --> 00:57:27,401
I thought it already was!

663
00:57:28,274 --> 00:57:35,064
You must free yourself from the Roman slaves
and find another microcosm.

664
00:57:37,772 --> 00:57:40,438
- The blacks?
- No.

665
00:57:40,521 --> 00:57:43,223
- The Jews?
- No.

666
00:57:44,477 --> 00:57:45,637
- Homosexuals perhaps?
- No.

667
00:57:47,518 --> 00:57:49,390
And who then?

668
00:57:51,767 --> 00:57:53,177
Talk about emigrants.

669
00:57:56,641 --> 00:57:58,880
Tobias, write about them.

670
00:58:13,052 --> 00:58:17,127
Hurry up, baby.
Hurry up!

671
00:58:19,967 --> 00:58:23,498
Byron!
Write about emigrants!

672
00:58:24,464 --> 00:58:26,670
What a son of a bitch!

673
00:58:38,127 --> 00:58:40,497
Why contact lenses?

674
00:58:41,460 --> 00:58:42,580
The editor told me that...

675
00:58:44,334 --> 00:58:49,488
the glasses maybe damaged
sales of “Hitler's Son”.

676
00:58:49,999 --> 00:58:52,534
He also said it about the beard.

677
00:58:53,539 --> 00:58:56,339
He decided on contact lenses.
They make me look less intellectual.

678
00:58:59,204 --> 00:59:01,364
People get scared.
Nobody wants to read a book...

679
00:59:02,953 --> 00:59:07,195
Why don't you just do yourself
take photographs without glasses?

680
00:59:09,368 --> 00:59:11,968
I think it's to appear in public.
Do you like glasses...

681
00:59:12,866 --> 00:59:16,812
It's not this...
it's that I like you with your flaws.

682
00:59:59,936 --> 01:00:01,558
Did you want to see me?

683
01:00:04,601 --> 01:00:08,807
- Do you know how long it's been since I've been here?
- No.

684
01:00:09,265 --> 01:00:11,967
Well, neither do I.
It's beautiful, right?

685
01:00:16,223 --> 01:00:19,303
It makes you feel that anything is possible.

686
01:00:20,971 --> 01:00:26,124
I was a child prodigy.
At 7 years old I played Mozart.

687
01:00:26,218 --> 01:00:27,218
Really?

688
01:00:27,678 --> 01:00:33,127
It's not like being Mozart,
but all in all it's not bad.

689
01:00:34,925 --> 01:00:36,582
And then?

690
01:00:37,633 --> 01:00:42,454
I grew up
and I threw my life away.

691
01:00:44,338 --> 01:00:46,298
I don't think regrets help
to live better.

692
01:00:47,211 --> 01:00:48,611
You know, Byron, this job is treacherous.

693
01:00:50,670 --> 01:00:52,470
You are lucky to have a wife
and a son.

694
01:00:54,169 --> 01:00:58,243
Don't let their love
slips out of your hands.

695
01:01:04,624 --> 01:01:06,413
Do you know why I brought you here?

696
01:01:07,665 --> 01:01:09,205
No, love, why?

697
01:01:10,956 --> 01:01:14,402
Why we came here
the first time.

698
01:01:15,828 --> 01:01:17,788
- No, that's not true.
- This is the place, only...

699
01:01:19,410 --> 01:01:20,650
the restaurant was demolished.

700
01:01:21,868 --> 01:01:23,548
In Los Angeles
It's hard to be romantic.

701
01:01:25,034 --> 01:01:28,481
You're doing well.

702
01:01:30,323 --> 01:01:34,862
You remember that new guy
what did I tell you about?

703
01:01:36,113 --> 01:01:38,833
I signed a contract thanks to him
which will bring me a lot of money!

704
01:01:40,572 --> 01:01:42,894
It's wonderful, darling.

705
01:01:44,778 --> 01:01:49,599
- I was thinking...
- You get so sexy when you think...

706
01:01:51,774 --> 01:01:53,734
If you don't use success
to enrich your life,

707
01:01:54,815 --> 01:01:57,482
just put it on sale
some Gucci shoes!

708
01:02:00,147 --> 01:02:04,223
- I don't understand you... Thank you.
- This time I'll do it.

709
01:02:08,269 --> 01:02:09,811
Thank you.

710
01:02:13,101 --> 01:02:14,381
Here.

711
01:02:16,435 --> 01:02:18,093
What is it?

712
01:02:30,014 --> 01:02:35,345
- But it's the check for last month.
- I don't want it.

713
01:02:37,011 --> 01:02:39,331
You're the only woman with
for 30 years I was myself.

714
01:02:42,385 --> 01:02:46,626
I don't want your money anymore,
I only want you.

715
01:02:47,592 --> 01:02:49,878
I don't understand you.

716
01:02:50,590 --> 01:02:52,332
I want you to leave your husband.

717
01:02:54,630 --> 01:02:57,036
Jennifer, I want to marry you.

718
01:03:06,710 --> 01:03:08,535
But you're crazy!

719
01:03:09,209 --> 01:03:12,042
Why the hell would I do that?

720
01:03:14,292 --> 01:03:16,827
Hold and take it back.

721
01:03:20,248 --> 01:03:24,951
But what did you have in mind?
Come on, let's go.

722
01:03:25,038 --> 01:03:29,741
What an idiot!
Now this is beautiful!

723
01:03:32,911 --> 01:03:35,031
Excellent dinner, congratulations.
Do you eat like this every night?

724
01:03:37,159 --> 01:03:39,777
- No.
- Thank you.

725
01:03:41,616 --> 01:03:44,531
Not every night,
this evening is special.

726
01:03:46,074 --> 01:03:48,028
Welcome to the family.

727
01:03:54,404 --> 01:03:58,894
I have to say it's an offer
really generous of you.

728
01:04:01,401 --> 01:04:02,961
I don't know how long
I still have to live,

729
01:04:05,193 --> 01:04:09,267
but I want to spend it knowing
to make my wife happy.

730
01:04:14,564 --> 01:04:17,763
- I'll do everything I can.
- You'll do what she wants.

731
01:04:19,896 --> 01:04:21,305
Right.

732
01:04:27,809 --> 01:04:30,050
- You have to tell him.
- Yes, certainly.

733
01:04:32,058 --> 01:04:33,898
So, Byron.
Your help will help me too.

734
01:04:36,557 --> 01:04:37,717
- All right.
- For my book.

735
01:04:38,557 --> 01:04:40,917
- If I can give you advice...
- No, they would make me nervous.

736
01:04:43,888 --> 01:04:46,969
I want you to help me rewrite it.

737
01:04:50,386 --> 01:04:52,507
Yes, okay!

738
01:04:58,591 --> 01:04:59,591
Do you mean... together?

739
01:05:00,592 --> 01:05:02,592
Said like that, it seems like you're sitting down
on my knees.

740
01:05:04,216 --> 01:05:09,120
I like your ideas
and Angela seems to trust you.

741
01:05:10,339 --> 01:05:14,201
You graduated from Yale.
Not bad apparently.

742
01:05:15,295 --> 01:05:17,015
300/o of royalties,
written by four hands.

743
01:05:18,295 --> 01:05:20,699
With four hands?

744
01:05:21,835 --> 01:05:24,239
My name nearby...

745
01:05:26,125 --> 01:05:27,125
to your name?

746
01:05:27,625 --> 01:05:30,990
Possibly
of the same size.

747
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,284
- Byron, what are we doing here?
- We're getting acclimatised!

748
01:05:44,035 --> 01:05:48,775
- We will also invite your father to dinner.
- This is crazy!

749
01:05:50,410 --> 01:05:51,818
We can't afford it.

750
01:05:52,908 --> 01:05:57,280
Tobias Allcott
he wants to write a book with me.

751
01:06:00,030 --> 01:06:01,986
Let's dance.

752
01:07:51,996 --> 01:07:54,716
Yesterday I went out with someone who has me
made to suck my toes.

753
01:07:55,912 --> 01:07:57,472
-Does this seem normal to you?
- Curious, I'd say.

754
01:07:59,327 --> 01:08:01,407
There isn't a square centimeter
in a woman's body

755
01:08:02,660 --> 01:08:04,863
that it is not an erogenous zone!

756
01:08:18,905 --> 01:08:20,545
- Do you know what Nathaniel said today?
- What?

757
01:08:23,028 --> 01:08:25,942
What happened to my dad?

758
01:08:27,111 --> 01:08:30,605
- It's not funny.
- He didn't want to be.

759
01:08:31,943 --> 01:08:36,812
- I have to finish this chapter.
- Do it tomorrow, stay with him for a while.

760
01:08:37,857 --> 01:08:39,737
- Dena, I need a few minutes.
- Please...

761
01:08:40,732 --> 01:08:42,692
- Don't you understand what I'm doing?
- I'm trying.

762
01:08:43,730 --> 01:08:45,410
I just need time,
this is our chance!

763
01:08:46,686 --> 01:08:50,550
Maybe you don't believe it
but it was better before! but!

764
01:08:54,517 --> 01:08:58,132
You think I'm having fun
to work in this way?

765
01:08:59,392 --> 01:09:01,792
How many occasions like this?
We must seize the opportunity,

766
01:09:04,099 --> 01:09:06,179
even if maybe you hate everything
what's around!

767
01:09:07,889 --> 01:09:09,169
And I hate this, do you understand?

768
01:09:11,513 --> 01:09:15,588
But I do it for you,
I do it for our son!

769
01:09:38,129 --> 01:09:39,788
Who is?

770
01:09:40,004 --> 01:09:41,911
It's me.

771
01:09:42,711 --> 01:09:43,871
Thank you love.
You are very beautiful.

772
01:09:45,711 --> 01:09:48,992
- How do you feel today?
- Tired.

773
01:09:50,376 --> 01:09:51,376
You need to sleep.

774
01:09:52,250 --> 01:09:53,970
I'm just tired
when my eyes are open,

775
01:09:55,666 --> 01:09:59,907
but when they are closed instead...
I'm scared!

776
01:10:00,705 --> 01:10:02,505
- Where are you going?
- In the office, working.

777
01:10:05,287 --> 01:10:06,287
No, you will work later.

778
01:10:07,662 --> 01:10:10,280
The thing is, I can't.

779
01:10:13,076 --> 01:10:19,238
When I think I feel like I'm entering
in an empty room.

780
01:10:20,741 --> 01:10:24,437
If there is something good that fills
those pages...

781
01:10:24,824 --> 01:10:28,519
- It's only thanks to him.
- This is not true.

782
01:10:29,989 --> 01:10:34,395
They say the saddest thing
and survive their children.

783
01:10:36,362 --> 01:10:39,394
My talent is my child.

784
01:10:41,527 --> 01:10:43,268
You're just tired.

785
01:10:45,399 --> 01:10:50,103
You have no respect
in truth, no one.

786
01:10:53,606 --> 01:10:56,639
That's what I love about you,
my little one.

787
01:11:38,799 --> 01:11:41,123
Well done, Byron.

788
01:11:48,130 --> 01:11:50,370
What's wrong?
There's some fun stuff too.

789
01:11:52,295 --> 01:11:58,457
Well... she rarely laughs
out loud when reading.

790
01:11:59,211 --> 01:12:05,242
This is its only imperfection.

791
01:12:08,748 --> 01:12:12,244
Angela is the only woman...

792
01:12:14,163 --> 01:12:15,363
who loved me completely.

793
01:12:17,204 --> 01:12:19,524
He ignored my flaws.
I'm sorry he did that.

794
01:12:23,787 --> 01:12:28,489
If it had been harder, I would have done it
something to correct them.

795
01:12:29,451 --> 01:12:31,851
Be careful of women who
they love you just for who you are.

796
01:12:33,741 --> 01:12:38,030
It's a sign that they're satisfied
easily.

797
01:12:48,695 --> 01:12:50,353
It's wonderful.

798
01:12:54,402 --> 01:12:56,274
Thank you love.

799
01:13:30,682 --> 01:13:33,004
Did you seriously like it?

800
01:13:33,932 --> 01:13:36,005
I love it.

801
01:13:37,345 --> 01:13:38,345
Do you think it will be successful?

802
01:13:39,721 --> 01:13:42,482
People always buy novels by
Tobias, even if he doesn't read them.

803
01:13:44,552 --> 01:13:47,550
That's the advantage of being a legend.

804
01:13:53,924 --> 01:13:55,364
- Excuse me...
- Honey, what's wrong?

805
01:13:55,923 --> 01:13:57,643
- I can't sleep.
- Are you not feeling well?

806
01:14:00,130 --> 01:14:02,290
I feel great,
that's why I couldn't sleep!

807
01:14:04,504 --> 01:14:08,000
- I'm too good!
- What are you drinking?

808
01:14:09,254 --> 01:14:10,662
Waterfall.

809
01:14:11,336 --> 01:14:16,324
With just a drop of malt. You know,
to remove the metallic taste.

810
01:14:22,790 --> 01:14:24,283
You see, I...

811
01:14:26,289 --> 01:14:32,320
I just wanted to tell you how much I am
grateful to both of you.

812
01:14:38,245 --> 01:14:39,653
Good night.

813
01:14:42,075 --> 01:14:44,398
Sleep well, love.

814
01:14:50,031 --> 01:14:52,106
Do you need something?

815
01:15:00,819 --> 01:15:03,486
I don't want to be alone tonight.

816
01:15:05,278 --> 01:15:07,102
Not this night.

817
01:15:33,851 --> 01:15:37,217
- Love...
- Thank you, my little one.

818
01:16:28,627 --> 01:16:30,332
Are you going out?

819
01:16:32,416 --> 01:16:34,736
I wanted to see the baby
and be with you, to be able to talk.

820
01:16:36,874 --> 01:16:39,871
What should we talk about?

821
01:16:43,912 --> 01:16:45,488
Where are you going?

822
01:16:46,828 --> 01:16:50,739
Why don't you tell me
where have you been these nights?

823
01:16:52,910 --> 01:16:54,901
Look me in the eyes and tell me!

824
01:16:57,576 --> 01:16:59,696
You know it? You're a fucking bastard
and I'm a bitch!

825
01:17:01,949 --> 01:17:04,946
Bitch and blind enough to not understand!

826
01:17:05,489 --> 01:17:08,273
And it's none of your business
where am I going!

827
01:17:24,441 --> 01:17:28,103
- How are you?
- Good enough.

828
01:17:29,481 --> 01:17:31,970
- Do you mind if I sit down?
- No.

829
01:17:34,189 --> 01:17:36,475
You've been a bit isolated lately.

830
01:17:39,687 --> 01:17:44,474
- I tried to call you, but...
- I took a vacation too.

831
01:17:45,727 --> 01:17:48,677
What's going on in your head?

832
01:17:49,893 --> 01:17:53,932
- You told me you were married.
- Certain.

833
01:17:54,016 --> 01:17:55,016
Did you already do this job?

834
01:17:56,514 --> 01:17:58,154
- There was a bit of overlap.
- And...

835
01:18:00,639 --> 01:18:02,925
And... what?

836
01:18:04,555 --> 01:18:07,552
This is what he destroyed
your wedding?

837
01:18:08,554 --> 01:18:11,194
Relationships are complicated. Not
it's only one thing that makes them end.

838
01:18:13,844 --> 01:18:16,044
You told me that many
of your boyfriends were married.

839
01:18:17,217 --> 01:18:18,297
I didn't say "happily".

840
01:18:20,008 --> 01:18:23,124
You have to learn to listen
adjectives.

841
01:18:46,416 --> 01:18:51,452
Now that I've finished the book,
I have a little more free time.

842
01:18:52,788 --> 01:18:55,703
I'd like to come to you,
maybe for lunch.

843
01:18:56,705 --> 01:19:00,828
You won't find me. The. has arrived
time to leave this job.

844
01:19:02,286 --> 01:19:04,446
- You should do it too.
- I'm a writer now.

845
01:19:05,618 --> 01:19:10,489
To them you are still
a hustler, don't forget.

846
01:19:11,783 --> 01:19:13,158
Goodbye.

847
01:19:16,532 --> 01:19:18,487
What will you do?

848
01:19:22,154 --> 01:19:25,069
I have not the foggiest idea.

849
01:19:34,819 --> 01:19:37,339
He has another goal to achieve
in the next 10,000 years...

850
01:19:39,858 --> 01:19:41,185
After you.

851
01:19:44,440 --> 01:19:46,560
- I thought you wanted some tea.
- Thank you, you are very kind.

852
01:19:48,147 --> 01:19:53,136
Thanks, Byron.
That's a nice thought, thanks.

853
01:19:57,352 --> 01:20:01,132
- Look, I was thinking...
- What?

854
01:20:03,059 --> 01:20:08,011
- When you give the book to the publisher.
- We were talking about it.

855
01:20:08,474 --> 01:20:09,753
Well, we...

856
01:20:11,014 --> 01:20:15,884
We thought it would be a good idea
wait for my death.

857
01:20:21,469 --> 01:20:22,469
Sorry, but why?

858
01:20:23,511 --> 01:20:25,671
Well, publishing a book posthumously
it will be a pass.

859
01:20:27,509 --> 01:20:32,212
Let's cut off the critics' legs
and sales will skyrocket.

860
01:20:35,756 --> 01:20:38,076
No, Byron, don't look like that.
The doctor gave me...

861
01:20:40,005 --> 01:20:43,951
a few weeks old,
a month at most.

862
01:20:45,503 --> 01:20:48,170
It will be a great opportunity for you

863
01:20:49,878 --> 01:20:52,544
and this will make me die happy.

864
01:20:55,792 --> 01:20:57,415
Thanks for the tea.

865
01:21:04,247 --> 01:21:08,111
Byron, wait a minute.

866
01:21:13,787 --> 01:21:15,528
Listen...

867
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,690
If that can reassure you...

868
01:21:20,617 --> 01:21:24,693
I started having pain
to the chest.

869
01:21:37,780 --> 01:21:39,651
Mark Twain.

870
01:21:40,112 --> 01:21:42,432
I like to turn sentences around
to make my heart happy.

871
01:21:45,735 --> 01:21:46,735
Where were we?

872
01:21:47,568 --> 01:21:49,728
If that drop fell
patiently for 5,000 years...

873
01:21:51,526 --> 01:21:53,966
this one that falls now will continue
to fall with the same patience

874
01:21:57,940 --> 01:22:02,312
even when the things of this world
they will no longer exist.

875
01:22:29,806 --> 01:22:32,375
I feel so stupid.

876
01:22:33,886 --> 01:22:37,252
- I couldn't find the words.
- You're wrong.

877
01:22:43,009 --> 01:22:47,831
- It was a beautiful ceremony.
- I was lucky.

878
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:53,336
I told her everything I wanted
tell him before he died.

879
01:22:58,088 --> 01:22:59,648
I would like to write a preface
to the book,

880
01:23:01,004 --> 01:23:03,954
it's my way of thanking him.
You would like?

881
01:23:04,586 --> 01:23:06,244
Yes a lot.

882
01:23:09,250 --> 01:23:10,250
But it won't be necessary.

883
01:23:11,124 --> 01:23:15,414
No problem, I care.
I am proud of our work.

884
01:23:16,624 --> 01:23:20,320
- Your work...
- That novel is special to me.

885
01:23:21,412 --> 01:23:23,332
Byron, I know now
I'll make you sorry, but...

886
01:23:24,828 --> 01:23:27,388
I wasn't aware of the agreements
that you took with my husband

887
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:33,693
and as far as I know,
there is no contract.

888
01:23:35,576 --> 01:23:37,616
- What are you saying?
- And evidence of a verbal agreement.

889
01:23:38,909 --> 01:23:40,789
No, sorry a moment...
I wrote that book.

890
01:23:42,407 --> 01:23:44,287
- You don't understand.
- What? I wrote that book.

891
01:23:47,530 --> 01:23:49,330
I can't write any names
next to his.

892
01:23:51,238 --> 01:23:52,878
Everyone would know
who needed help.

893
01:23:53,986 --> 01:23:56,747
You insisted on the novel
was published after his death.

894
01:23:58,818 --> 01:24:01,567
I had to protect
his reputation.

895
01:24:03,150 --> 01:24:07,309
- And you made it possible.
- Yes I did!

896
01:24:09,815 --> 01:24:12,295
I sacrificed my life for
this book, my whole life!

897
01:24:15,854 --> 01:24:18,094
Is this how you thank me?

898
01:24:20,396 --> 01:24:23,144
Thanks for those wonderful days.

899
01:24:31,308 --> 01:24:34,554
You won't get off that easy!

900
01:24:35,681 --> 01:24:36,801
- You have no other choice.
- No?

901
01:24:37,848 --> 01:24:40,008
Unless you don't want to
humiliate yourself in front of everyone.

902
01:24:41,348 --> 01:24:44,380
You have been paid handsomely
for your services.

903
01:24:50,844 --> 01:24:53,545
Please don't hate me.

904
01:24:56,051 --> 01:24:58,834
Who has never loved,
he cannot understand.

905
01:25:02,132 --> 01:25:03,708
Fuck you.

906
01:25:26,166 --> 01:25:28,086
Free information.
The number you called,

907
01:25:29,291 --> 01:25:33,496
is not reachable at the moment.
Please call back later.

908
01:26:31,563 --> 01:26:34,762
You must be the agency man,
isn't it true?

909
01:26:35,811 --> 01:26:37,636
Is it that obvious?

910
01:26:41,392 --> 01:26:43,712
- I reserved at the Ankenton.
- My husband always eats there.

911
01:26:46,058 --> 01:26:51,637
- We can go somewhere else.
- No, he doesn't even see me.

912
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:53,840
- It's impossible.
- You're kind.

913
01:26:56,347 --> 01:27:00,718
- Maybe he's just very busy.
- Yes, he always tells me that.

914
01:27:01,679 --> 01:27:04,079
A man sometimes does everything
to take care of the family

915
01:27:06,718 --> 01:27:08,518
and sometimes his priorities
they can get confused,

916
01:27:10,384 --> 01:27:12,224
but this has nothing to do
with love.

917
01:27:15,300 --> 01:27:19,789
I appreciate your sincerity, but I want
and I demand that you be my accomplice.

918
01:27:21,589 --> 01:27:22,589
- Excuse me.
- Certain.

919
01:27:24,337 --> 01:27:27,039
I'm going to powder my nose.

920
01:27:39,042 --> 01:27:40,682
I didn't think I'd find you here.
An aperitif?

921
01:27:42,540 --> 01:27:45,952
- No, I'm leaving.
- Who are you with?

922
01:27:52,078 --> 01:27:53,078
- Damn!
- What is it?

923
01:27:53,953 --> 01:27:56,153
She's the one who wanted it
that I sucked her toes.

924
01:27:56,953 --> 01:27:58,033
Make your life easier.

925
01:27:58,493 --> 01:28:03,399
I'll give you some advice,
Don't take her dancing first!

926
01:28:05,824 --> 01:28:09,237
- Thank you.
- We have to watch our backs.

927
01:28:10,282 --> 01:28:13,777
- And who are you with?
- With her.

928
01:28:45,896 --> 01:28:47,802
Aren't you getting a room?

929
01:28:51,144 --> 01:28:52,544
Because a man
does what you do?

930
01:28:54,227 --> 01:28:56,427
For me it's a mission,
a way of giving joy to others.

931
01:28:58,350 --> 01:29:02,213
Actually I...
I would like to know the truth.

932
01:29:06,096 --> 01:29:08,171
It's not simple.

933
01:29:09,554 --> 01:29:14,294
Fucking is a last resort
for a man who feels helpless.

934
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:19,384
Certain.

935
01:29:20,385 --> 01:29:22,091
Good night.

936
01:29:32,757 --> 01:29:34,597
This job makes you feel
a little older.

937
01:29:36,755 --> 01:29:41,126
And maybe who knows...
even a little wiser.

938
01:30:27,030 --> 01:30:29,070
- Have you decided?
- I'll have the linguine with clams.

939
01:30:31,612 --> 01:30:32,612
Excellent choice, and you?

940
01:30:33,736 --> 01:30:35,816
- What do you suggest?
- Try the Pasta Primavera.

941
01:30:37,486 --> 01:30:40,152
It doesn't convince me very much
this dish.

942
01:30:41,693 --> 01:30:42,933
What exactly is Spring like?

943
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:45,920
Raw tomato, basil,
with pasta.

944
01:30:47,357 --> 01:30:48,957
- Is there also mozzarella?
- Exactly.

945
01:30:50,940 --> 01:30:55,561
- Is everything fresh?
- Like spring.

946
01:31:09,435 --> 01:31:12,136
Ten minutes, I'll cover you.

947
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:31,964
Here.

948
01:31:33,134 --> 01:31:36,381
Sorry... they're my house keys.

949
01:31:41,966 --> 01:31:43,326
- I mean, you work here now.
- Yes.

950
01:31:45,505 --> 01:31:47,545
I thought that's the only thing
that I could recover

951
01:31:49,796 --> 01:31:51,586
it was my self-esteem.

952
01:31:54,212 --> 01:31:55,212
And does it work?

953
01:31:55,545 --> 01:31:59,039
It would be easier
without the spring bow tie.

954
01:32:11,290 --> 01:32:14,406
- How is my little one?
- He's fine.

955
01:32:16,247 --> 01:32:19,990
-Do you talk a lot?
- He asks about you.

956
01:32:25,535 --> 01:32:29,445
- Are you writing?
- Well, let's say that...

957
01:32:31,950 --> 01:32:36,736
I've been having some problems lately
to find the right inspiration.

958
01:32:49,819 --> 01:32:51,859
Have you already eaten?
I have dinner break in twenty minutes.

959
01:32:54,526 --> 01:32:58,305
I'm not hungry, I have to go back.

960
01:33:00,606 --> 01:33:03,391
- Yes, I understand.
- I passed...

961
01:33:04,273 --> 01:33:06,513
Just to tell you we're back
in the old neighborhood...

962
01:33:07,314 --> 01:33:12,598
I knew it. I tried to
call you, but you're not on the list.

963
01:33:13,521 --> 01:33:15,427
Yes, that's true.

964
01:33:17,143 --> 01:33:21,600
But I really passed
some bad moments.

965
01:33:23,558 --> 01:33:25,181
I am very sorry.

966
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:31,677
- Listen...
- 'Night, Byron.

967
01:33:43,468 --> 01:33:46,040
If you want, this is the phone.

968
01:33:55,923 --> 01:33:57,563
She's so beautiful...
Do you know what you look like together?

969
01:33:59,215 --> 01:34:02,330
- How?
- Natural.

970
01:34:03,713 --> 01:34:06,353
I'm going to calm down my wife, when
they don't order his specialties...

971
01:34:08,836 --> 01:34:10,876
- It's not his fault.
- That's what I tell you too...

972
01:34:12,086 --> 01:34:14,006
- But she's so touchy!
- It's the menu's fault.

973
01:34:15,417 --> 01:34:18,414
- What does the menu have to do with it?
- Do you want me to be honest?

974
01:34:18,749 --> 01:34:19,749
Moderately.

975
01:34:20,083 --> 01:34:21,923
All dishes are described
the same way.

976
01:34:23,166 --> 01:34:28,236
Roast is the same as ossobuco and
you use the word “succulent” all the time!

977
01:34:28,664 --> 01:34:30,264
Do you want me to take a look?
I'll rewrite it.

978
01:34:30,912 --> 01:34:33,365
Would you do it for me?

979
01:34:37,202 --> 01:34:39,193
Tonight I feel inspired.

980
01:34:41,076 --> 01:34:42,956
I only saw him one more time,
about a year later.

981
01:34:45,117 --> 01:34:46,877
He had written a novel
entitled “Eclipse“

982
01:34:47,782 --> 01:34:49,462
about a wedding
which was falling apart.

983
01:34:50,738 --> 01:34:53,019
I felt proud to have helped him
to ruin his life,

984
01:34:54,655 --> 01:34:56,735
enough to give it something concrete
to write about.

985
01:34:58,613 --> 01:35:03,434
In a moment she would turn around
and he would never see her again.

986
01:35:04,819 --> 01:35:10,102
He wanted to tell her all of those
things he had in his heart,

987
01:35:11,442 --> 01:35:13,162
but when he met the gaze
of his wife,

988
01:35:15,023 --> 01:35:18,186
he remembered the words that the old man
she had told him.

989
01:35:21,354 --> 01:35:25,845
Be careful what women say
to love you for who you are.

990
01:35:26,144 --> 01:35:29,640
It's a sign that they're satisfied
easily.

991
01:35:30,228 --> 01:35:31,988
His wife loved him too much
to be satisfied,

992
01:35:33,185 --> 01:35:34,865
but he was not aware of it
and it didn't change.

993
01:35:37,100 --> 01:35:39,100
He had convinced himself that all that
what he was doing,

994
01:35:41,848 --> 01:35:44,005
he did it for her.

995
01:35:45,305 --> 01:35:48,801
He had acquired the technique
to believe in his own lies.

996
01:35:50,554 --> 01:35:54,594
Then one day, his wife
and his son went away.

997
01:35:57,677 --> 01:35:59,317
It had all of that
that one could wish for,

998
01:36:00,052 --> 01:36:01,852
except a reason to wake up
in the morning.

999
01:36:03,757 --> 01:36:05,797
That single tiny second
where you open your eyes

1000
01:36:08,173 --> 01:36:09,973
and find next to you
that someone who loves you.

1001
01:36:13,756 --> 01:36:14,916
Who loves you always and no matter what,

1002
01:36:15,713 --> 01:36:20,203
who embraces you in your defeats
and in your victories.

1003
01:36:34,791 --> 01:36:37,622
He poured it into the glass
another scotch,

1004
01:36:38,831 --> 01:36:42,989
realizing he would pass
the rest of your life...

1005
01:36:48,619 --> 01:36:50,779
trying to recover
that single tiny second.

1006
01:36:53,701 --> 01:36:56,106
Thanks for coming.

1007
01:37:06,196 --> 01:37:07,607
Thank you.

1008
01:37:08,362 --> 01:37:11,526
- What is your name?
- Yasmine, with the ypsilon.

1009
01:37:14,278 --> 01:37:17,690
- Your book is beautiful.
- Thank you.

1010
01:37:20,277 --> 01:37:22,978
- That's it.
- Thank you.

1011
01:37:23,526 --> 01:37:24,926
- Hi, what's your name?
- Georgette.

1012
01:37:26,525 --> 01:37:27,645
- It's very touching.
- Thank you.

1013
01:37:29,148 --> 01:37:32,146
I was hoping they would get back together
at the end.

1014
01:37:34,106 --> 01:37:35,728
Yes, me too.

1015
01:37:37,646 --> 01:37:39,806
I have been married three times.
When it's over it's over.

1016
01:37:41,353 --> 01:37:44,434
It is given a dry cut
and we move forward.

1017
01:37:49,058 --> 01:37:50,433
Are you sure about it?

1018
01:37:59,221 --> 01:38:00,680
Name.

1019
01:38:03,305 --> 01:38:05,378
Dedicate it to Nathaniel.

1020
01:38:19,841 --> 01:38:21,250
Have you read it?

1021
01:38:24,422 --> 01:38:28,333
Why didn't you tell me first
those things?

1022
01:38:34,212 --> 01:38:35,669
I'm a writer.

1023
01:39:15,348 --> 01:39:17,388
I spent years looking
to give pleasure to women.

1024
01:39:18,597 --> 01:39:21,517
He knew that the important thing was to give
and receive pleasure from just one woman.

1025
01:39:25,530 --> 01:39:27,630
Here's something
worth writing about.
