2
00:00:27,161 --> 00:00:29,561
The town of
Ashton Cove was left

3
00:00:29,563 --> 00:00:32,097
in a nasty blood bath.

4
00:00:32,099 --> 00:00:33,499
No.

5
00:00:33,501 --> 00:00:35,267
The town of Ashton Cove was
left crumbled, smoldering,

6
00:00:35,269 --> 00:00:36,301
abandoned...

7
00:00:36,303 --> 00:00:37,136
No, in ruins.

8
00:00:37,138 --> 00:00:38,770
Oh no.

9
00:00:38,772 --> 00:00:41,507
The town of Ashton Cove was
left drenched in a state

10
00:00:41,509 --> 00:00:42,908
of sorrow.

11
00:00:42,910 --> 00:00:44,943
No, I can do better.

12
00:00:44,945 --> 00:00:46,845
Drenched in a state of ennui.

13
00:00:48,015 --> 00:00:49,915
It was left in a state of ennui.

14
00:00:49,917 --> 00:00:51,116
That's the one.

15
00:00:56,190 --> 00:00:56,989
Mom.

16
00:00:56,991 --> 00:00:57,823
Yes, honey.

17
00:00:58,592 --> 00:00:59,892
Sorry, sorry.

18
00:01:06,133 --> 00:01:07,933
Elijah knew
if he was ever going

19
00:01:07,935 --> 00:01:10,302
to escape, flee, no.

20
00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:13,772
He would have to conquer,
face, he would have to face

21
00:01:13,774 --> 00:01:15,340
the monster head on.

22
00:01:15,342 --> 00:01:17,609
Everyone else had already
surrendered, given up,

23
00:01:17,611 --> 00:01:19,211
white flag.

24
00:01:19,213 --> 00:01:20,646
Everyone else had already
risen their white flags,

25
00:01:20,648 --> 00:01:23,649
leaving for most of them
just wasn't an option.

26
00:01:23,651 --> 00:01:27,286
Elijah was the only one, he'd
been held captive long enough

27
00:01:27,288 --> 00:01:30,489
to know that even utter failure
would be worth the attempt.

28
00:01:30,491 --> 00:01:33,625
He knew that before he
became a slave to Ashton Cove

29
00:01:33,627 --> 00:01:34,893
he had to act.

30
00:01:34,895 --> 00:01:37,129
He didn't have a plan,
but he knew deep inside

31
00:01:37,131 --> 00:01:40,232
that once he got out
of here he'd be free.

32
00:01:40,234 --> 00:01:41,266
The end.

33
00:01:47,141 --> 00:01:49,141
Sorry, continue.

34
00:01:50,311 --> 00:01:52,411
That was
it, that was the end.

35
00:01:53,814 --> 00:01:55,380
Thanks
for that, Greg.

36
00:01:55,382 --> 00:01:56,448
Thoughts, everyone?

37
00:01:58,819 --> 00:02:01,220
Is it wrong to admit that
I was rooting for the monster

38
00:02:01,222 --> 00:02:02,888
the entire time.

39
00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:06,225
I mean, no offense but
this Greg protagonist

40
00:02:06,227 --> 00:02:08,427
is so unlikable...

41
00:02:08,429 --> 00:02:09,661
Elijah?

42
00:02:09,663 --> 00:02:11,096
No, it's Ian.

43
00:02:11,098 --> 00:02:13,198
The character's
name is Elijah.

44
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,368
Whatever, he was just
frustratingly passive,

45
00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:19,404
I don't understand why anyone
would find him or anything

46
00:02:19,406 --> 00:02:21,907
he does interesting,
he's just too...

47
00:02:21,909 --> 00:02:22,941
Meek.

48
00:02:22,943 --> 00:02:24,276
Precisely.

49
00:02:24,278 --> 00:02:26,845
He's really the
shell of a human.

50
00:02:26,847 --> 00:02:29,748
I just don't believe in
building an entire story

51
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:32,951
just so he could
say the words ennui.

52
00:02:32,953 --> 00:02:37,189
Okay, okay, there's no denying
that you have talent, Greg,

53
00:02:37,191 --> 00:02:40,158
for your age, it's just that

54
00:02:41,395 --> 00:02:43,662
the story was a
little superfluous,

55
00:02:45,432 --> 00:02:47,933
there's no passion
behind your words.

56
00:02:47,935 --> 00:02:49,234
When you're writing comedy...

57
00:02:49,236 --> 00:02:51,236
It's not really a comedy.

58
00:02:51,238 --> 00:02:53,572
You have to make
it unique to you.

59
00:02:53,574 --> 00:02:56,441
You must, you have to, you
got to make it about you.

60
00:02:58,212 --> 00:03:01,680
Life is like a reading
joke book backwards.

61
00:03:02,916 --> 00:03:05,250
You're constantly being
delivered the punchline

62
00:03:05,252 --> 00:03:09,554
and it's up to you to
figure out why it's funny.

63
00:03:09,556 --> 00:03:11,857
That's a
beautiful analogy, Martin.

64
00:03:13,627 --> 00:03:17,729
And tonally, your
story was jarring.

65
00:03:18,832 --> 00:03:22,334
Isn't life
jarring though, tonally?

66
00:03:22,336 --> 00:03:25,404
Okay, okay, let's have some
positives about Greg's story.

67
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,826
Hey, Mom.

68
00:03:48,662 --> 00:03:49,594
Hi, honey.

69
00:03:51,999 --> 00:03:54,066
I am so sorry.

70
00:03:55,969 --> 00:03:58,270
It's just one school.

71
00:03:58,272 --> 00:03:59,871
Did you open this?

72
00:03:59,873 --> 00:04:00,739
Yes.

73
00:04:02,209 --> 00:04:05,377
You know what we should
do, we should go bowling.

74
00:04:06,647 --> 00:04:07,512
Mom.

75
00:04:10,117 --> 00:04:11,183
I can't believe you.

76
00:04:23,831 --> 00:04:25,297
I really don't
want you to get too down

77
00:04:25,299 --> 00:04:28,066
on yourself, being able to
take criticism is a huge part

78
00:04:28,068 --> 00:04:31,002
of being a successful writer.

79
00:04:31,004 --> 00:04:31,903
No, it's cool.

80
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:33,205
I'm not that down about it.

81
00:04:35,142 --> 00:04:36,541
Heard from any schools yet?

82
00:04:37,244 --> 00:04:38,410
No, not yet.

83
00:04:39,813 --> 00:04:41,847
I'm sure you
will, you have a lot of drive

84
00:04:41,849 --> 00:04:44,049
to write and that's
a really great thing,

85
00:04:45,219 --> 00:04:47,018
but it just doesn't seem like
it's coming from anywhere

86
00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:48,553
that feels real right now.

87
00:04:50,324 --> 00:04:54,393
You need some experiences,
like outside of your laptop

88
00:04:54,395 --> 00:04:57,829
or you know, working
at Bent Taco.

89
00:04:57,831 --> 00:05:00,632
I actually enjoy
the solitude in the dish pit.

90
00:05:03,237 --> 00:05:05,937
Does the name Harvey
McCoy mean anything to you?

91
00:05:07,174 --> 00:05:09,941
I know that name, what was
that book, he had a book?

92
00:05:10,778 --> 00:05:11,977
The one book wonder.

93
00:05:12,780 --> 00:05:14,579
He's a fucken lunatic too.

94
00:05:16,183 --> 00:05:18,183
It just so happens he's
looking for an assistant

95
00:05:18,185 --> 00:05:20,452
for this new book tour
that he has, and uh,

96
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:24,890
he's a bit of a dick
but we go way back.

97
00:05:24,892 --> 00:05:27,125
And it might be a good
opportunity for you.

98
00:05:28,362 --> 00:05:30,128
It's gonna give you more
inspiration than a fucking

99
00:05:30,130 --> 00:05:31,329
dish pit anyway.

100
00:05:32,533 --> 00:05:36,268
Plus I'll be on the uh,
I'll be on the last stop

101
00:05:36,270 --> 00:05:37,135
and I'll see ya.

102
00:05:38,071 --> 00:05:40,272
See ya at the finish line, yeah?

103
00:05:40,274 --> 00:05:41,206
That'd be great.

104
00:05:41,208 --> 00:05:42,207
And if you can make it.

105
00:05:44,778 --> 00:05:47,579
Look, you're doing a great job.

106
00:05:47,581 --> 00:05:48,747
What do I always say...

107
00:05:48,749 --> 00:05:50,982
- Writer's...
- Get better by writing.

108
00:05:50,984 --> 00:05:51,850
Yeah.

109
00:05:59,293 --> 00:06:02,427
Hi, uh, this is
Greg Gifford speaking.

110
00:06:02,429 --> 00:06:04,763
Hey, how's it going,
this is Greg Gifford.

111
00:06:04,765 --> 00:06:08,066
Greetings, I'm calling
you, Harvey McCoy.

112
00:06:08,068 --> 00:06:09,801
I too, as well write.

113
00:06:09,803 --> 00:06:11,236
I am a writer.

114
00:06:11,238 --> 00:06:15,874
Six foot two, 145 pounds,
18 years old, looking for

115
00:06:16,477 --> 00:06:18,410
some writerly knowledge.

116
00:06:18,412 --> 00:06:21,246
Hi, I'm Greg Gifford.

117
00:06:21,248 --> 00:06:25,684
I'm a writer and I am
looking to be your assistant.

118
00:06:29,256 --> 00:06:30,822
Hello?

119
00:06:30,824 --> 00:06:33,024
Hi

120
00:06:33,026 --> 00:06:33,825
Hello?

121
00:06:33,827 --> 00:06:35,126
I said hello.

122
00:06:35,128 --> 00:06:37,128
I'm calling about
the assistant job.

123
00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:40,131
Assistant
job, uh, yeah um...

124
00:06:40,133 --> 00:06:42,000
I'm actually a big fan,
so this opportunity seemed..

125
00:06:42,002 --> 00:06:44,436
I uh, Meso.

126
00:06:44,438 --> 00:06:46,171
Meso!

127
00:06:46,173 --> 00:06:50,308
Hello, this is Meso
Halloway, Harvey's agent.

128
00:06:50,310 --> 00:06:53,211
Hi, Meso, I'm Greg Gifford
calling for the assistant job.

129
00:06:53,213 --> 00:06:54,646
I got this number from Martin.

130
00:06:54,648 --> 00:06:55,947
Yeah, Martin.

131
00:06:56,984 --> 00:07:00,285
Yeah, Harvey's
incredibly busy with,

132
00:07:00,287 --> 00:07:03,288
he's busy with carry work,
so you as you can imagine,

133
00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:04,389
a very busy man.

134
00:07:04,391 --> 00:07:06,024
Okay.

135
00:07:06,026 --> 00:07:07,692
He does need
some assistance, he needs

136
00:07:07,694 --> 00:07:11,530
an assistant, so uh,
some help on the job.

137
00:07:11,532 --> 00:07:12,831
Of course.

138
00:07:12,833 --> 00:07:14,566
He's doing
a lot of stuff, yes.

139
00:07:17,704 --> 00:07:18,937
So the assistant job.

140
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:22,207
The
what, assistant job?

141
00:07:22,209 --> 00:07:25,644
Yeah, I have a few serious
questions if that's okay?

142
00:07:25,646 --> 00:07:26,645
Yeah, definitely.

143
00:07:27,814 --> 00:07:31,249
Question
one, uh can you drive?

144
00:07:31,251 --> 00:07:32,851
You'll be driving.

145
00:07:32,853 --> 00:07:34,286
I have my full license, yup.

146
00:07:35,222 --> 00:07:36,555
Question two.

147
00:07:38,392 --> 00:07:39,824
Can you start tomorrow?

148
00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:42,928
Uh, yeah.

149
00:07:42,930 --> 00:07:44,663
Meso.

150
00:07:44,665 --> 00:07:45,497
Yes.

151
00:07:46,433 --> 00:07:48,833
I can only offer
you a 100 bucks.

152
00:07:48,835 --> 00:07:50,402
A day?

153
00:07:50,404 --> 00:07:51,269
Fine.

154
00:07:52,272 --> 00:07:53,204
Fine.

155
00:07:53,206 --> 00:07:55,273
Okay so, so when do I...

156
00:08:08,589 --> 00:08:10,255
I think I just
got a writing job.

157
00:08:11,258 --> 00:08:13,124
Oh, honey.

158
00:08:26,473 --> 00:08:28,773
I wanna
meet him first.

159
00:08:28,775 --> 00:08:29,741
Mom, no.

160
00:08:29,743 --> 00:08:31,309
Yes!

161
00:08:31,311 --> 00:08:33,211
No, he's not gonna take
me seriously if I have

162
00:08:33,213 --> 00:08:35,146
to have my mom meet him first.

163
00:08:35,148 --> 00:08:38,550
You don't even know him,
I'm not gonna let you go

164
00:08:38,552 --> 00:08:41,152
hang out with some random
old guy without at least

165
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:42,721
speaking to him first.

166
00:08:42,723 --> 00:08:46,257
He's not some random old guy,
he's an accomplished writer,

167
00:08:46,259 --> 00:08:47,359
he's Harvey McCoy.

168
00:08:48,795 --> 00:08:51,229
Literally the only notable
person to come from this town.

169
00:08:51,231 --> 00:08:53,298
An accomplished writer
with a reputation.

170
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:55,266
Everyone has a reputation,
that's why you're banned

171
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:56,301
from garage sales.

172
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:00,905
Well you remember what
happened to Madison Sorvil.

173
00:09:00,907 --> 00:09:03,241
Madison Sorvil got pregnant
because she slept with

174
00:09:03,243 --> 00:09:05,143
a reporter during the
Christmas festival.

175
00:09:05,145 --> 00:09:07,312
That's insanely different,
and not to mention,

176
00:09:07,314 --> 00:09:10,315
a wildly unrealistic
outcome for me.

177
00:09:10,317 --> 00:09:13,785
Listen, honey, I just don't
understand why you can't

178
00:09:13,787 --> 00:09:15,954
hang out with
people your own age.

179
00:09:15,956 --> 00:09:19,257
Martin gave me this opportunity
because he believes in me.

180
00:09:19,259 --> 00:09:20,992
Just because
someone is older

181
00:09:20,994 --> 00:09:22,827
does not make them wiser.

182
00:09:24,931 --> 00:09:25,764
Agreed.

183
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:37,108
Okay, but I'm giving you my
credit card for emergencies.

184
00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:42,013
Just please let me
do this on my own.

185
00:09:58,398 --> 00:10:00,298
What's the name
of this book again?

186
00:10:01,968 --> 00:10:03,535
"The Grand Affliction".

187
00:10:14,347 --> 00:10:15,313
Bye, Mom.

188
00:10:16,349 --> 00:10:18,216
The credit cards
in your backpack.

189
00:10:19,986 --> 00:10:20,819
I love you.

190
00:10:23,156 --> 00:10:24,422
I love you too, Greg.

191
00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:33,057
Was that you just
knocking on my door?

192
00:11:33,059 --> 00:11:35,693
Yeah, I think
I'm your assistant.

193
00:11:43,737 --> 00:11:44,536
All right.

194
00:12:03,256 --> 00:12:04,322
So Greg is it?

195
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:10,361
I've known a few Greg's in my
day, some of them were good,

196
00:12:10,363 --> 00:12:11,362
some of them were shit.

197
00:12:13,834 --> 00:12:15,767
So I take it you're a writer?

198
00:12:15,769 --> 00:12:17,368
Aspiring.

199
00:12:17,370 --> 00:12:18,436
Ah that's too bad.

200
00:12:21,541 --> 00:12:25,510
So what do you write about,
Craig, what are your demons?

201
00:12:25,512 --> 00:12:27,612
I mostly write monster
stories, actually.

202
00:12:27,614 --> 00:12:28,513
Uh-huh.

203
00:12:28,515 --> 00:12:29,848
So uh, you got a girlfriend?

204
00:12:29,850 --> 00:12:31,349
A mother.

205
00:12:31,351 --> 00:12:33,785
That's even
better, they're the best demons.

206
00:12:36,156 --> 00:12:37,288
You want a drink?

207
00:12:38,158 --> 00:12:39,524
No thank you.

208
00:12:39,526 --> 00:12:40,792
What are you allergic?

209
00:12:40,794 --> 00:12:43,161
No, it's just
really not my thing.

210
00:12:43,163 --> 00:12:44,696
All right.

211
00:12:44,698 --> 00:12:47,565
Well, we got three
rules around here.

212
00:12:49,002 --> 00:12:51,436
Number one, don't
touch anything.

213
00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:55,373
Don't touch anything.

214
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:57,475
Leave all the doors closed
because I like it fucking

215
00:12:57,477 --> 00:12:59,244
freezing in here.

216
00:12:59,246 --> 00:13:02,313
And if I see you with a
cellphone in your hand,

217
00:13:02,315 --> 00:13:04,983
I'll break it, all right?

218
00:13:04,985 --> 00:13:09,220
If you gotta take a
shit, west, go west okay.

219
00:13:09,222 --> 00:13:10,688
All the west.

220
00:13:10,690 --> 00:13:13,725
Anywhere out west, not
the east, out the west.

221
00:13:13,727 --> 00:13:16,794
That's your toilet
essentially, okay.

222
00:13:18,098 --> 00:13:19,130
Finally,

223
00:13:21,334 --> 00:13:22,767
the Wi-Fi passcode

224
00:13:24,237 --> 00:13:29,307
is go fuck yourself, and
that's all in lower case.

225
00:13:29,743 --> 00:13:31,342
You got it?

226
00:13:31,344 --> 00:13:32,944
Got it.

227
00:13:32,946 --> 00:13:35,146
So, Craig, what do you
expect to get out of this?

228
00:13:36,883 --> 00:13:40,451
Well I'm saving up for
college and I've been working

229
00:13:40,453 --> 00:13:44,289
on a short story
for some deadlines,

230
00:13:44,291 --> 00:13:47,358
and I'm really just looking
to get some experience.

231
00:13:48,428 --> 00:13:49,294
Yeah.

232
00:13:50,530 --> 00:13:53,264
Well let's take you on a tour.

233
00:14:26,066 --> 00:14:27,799
That is your bed.

234
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,573
I said don't touch anything.

235
00:14:42,182 --> 00:14:44,182
Elijah entered
the monsters layer,

236
00:14:44,184 --> 00:14:48,519
he was medicated, irrational,
and consumed by his ridiculous

237
00:14:48,521 --> 00:14:50,154
list of ground rules.

238
00:14:50,156 --> 00:14:53,358
The monster dragged Elijah
through the palace, straight

239
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,195
to his cell, but for the
first time in a long while

240
00:14:57,197 --> 00:14:58,363
he felt alive.

241
00:14:59,632 --> 00:15:01,599
And like a complete
fucking cliche.

242
00:15:14,814 --> 00:15:16,280
So these next
three days are gonna

243
00:15:16,282 --> 00:15:17,782
be pretty action packed.

244
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,787
There's gonna be
some press, you know?

245
00:15:22,789 --> 00:15:26,057
I just need you to know
where I need to be,

246
00:15:26,059 --> 00:15:27,525
when I need to be there.

247
00:15:27,527 --> 00:15:29,427
That's your job,
it's very important.

248
00:15:30,797 --> 00:15:33,364
Um, do we have a
game plan for tomorrow?

249
00:15:33,366 --> 00:15:37,301
Uh tomorrow, yeah, we're
doing, we're going to Meaford

250
00:15:37,303 --> 00:15:40,204
and then Collingwood,
and then Owen Sound.

251
00:15:41,374 --> 00:15:44,042
Uh, Meaford's gonna be
just a book signing event,

252
00:15:44,044 --> 00:15:45,510
I don't even think I'm
gonna do a reading unless

253
00:15:45,512 --> 00:15:46,744
they ask me.

254
00:15:46,746 --> 00:15:49,147
Unless like a fan
asks me or something,

255
00:15:49,149 --> 00:15:52,083
but it's really just a
charity event, frankly.

256
00:15:54,821 --> 00:15:57,288
Okay, um what time
are we gonna leave then?

257
00:15:58,358 --> 00:16:01,259
Oh I think we're
gonna leave around uh,

258
00:16:01,261 --> 00:16:02,827
well it's four hours to get,

259
00:16:04,597 --> 00:16:06,230
four hours to get there

260
00:16:06,232 --> 00:16:09,300
from uh...

261
00:16:12,338 --> 00:16:15,506
I think eight o'clock, no
later than eight o'clock.

262
00:16:15,508 --> 00:16:18,009
Okay, I'll uh,
set my alarm then.

263
00:16:18,011 --> 00:16:19,444
You know people think
this is a comeback,

264
00:16:19,446 --> 00:16:21,512
it's not a comeback
I never left.

265
00:16:25,251 --> 00:16:26,117
I've been busy,

266
00:16:28,188 --> 00:16:29,754
I've been busy, so.

267
00:16:29,756 --> 00:16:31,956
But what can you do, you know?

268
00:16:31,958 --> 00:16:33,291
Fans ask for it.

269
00:16:34,761 --> 00:16:39,363
I'm living this life, you know
for them, they asked for it.

270
00:16:39,966 --> 00:16:41,132
I didn't ask for it.

271
00:16:42,402 --> 00:16:43,267
Right.

272
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:45,970
What was I sayin?

273
00:16:47,140 --> 00:16:48,372
The tour.

274
00:16:48,374 --> 00:16:49,907
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
the tour the last stop,

275
00:16:49,909 --> 00:16:51,109
that's Owen Sound.

276
00:16:51,111 --> 00:16:52,443
Owen Sound's the last stop.

277
00:16:52,445 --> 00:16:54,412
So that'll be the big
event, it's the main event.

278
00:16:54,414 --> 00:16:55,446
It's where we land, right.

279
00:16:55,448 --> 00:16:57,582
It's the final chapter.

280
00:16:57,584 --> 00:16:59,217
Why in Owen Sound?

281
00:16:59,219 --> 00:17:02,153
I mean, it's just kind of a
random place, don't you think?

282
00:17:02,155 --> 00:17:04,889
I like to go where the fans
are, I don't need a big city.

283
00:17:07,827 --> 00:17:10,261
So your job is gonna
be to pack this place.

284
00:17:10,263 --> 00:17:12,330
Okay, and that's the
most important thing,

285
00:17:12,332 --> 00:17:13,297
pack this place.

286
00:17:17,403 --> 00:17:19,237
You used to be a
club promoter, right?

287
00:17:19,239 --> 00:17:21,205
Um not me, no.

288
00:17:27,413 --> 00:17:29,013
All right, you can
just ask me directly,

289
00:17:29,015 --> 00:17:30,948
I mean I'm sure you
wanna know about it,

290
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:33,417
all the parties and the,
well it's California

291
00:17:35,155 --> 00:17:37,955
and Judy Dench I met twice.

292
00:17:37,957 --> 00:17:40,958
Did you know that they were
gonna make a film out of

293
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,260
"The Grand Affliction"?

294
00:17:43,496 --> 00:17:44,929
What happened with that?

295
00:17:44,931 --> 00:17:46,664
Ah, I said fuck it!

296
00:17:46,666 --> 00:17:49,400
You know movies are just
books for idiots, really.

297
00:17:50,803 --> 00:17:52,770
A proper story needs
to be told with words,

298
00:17:52,772 --> 00:17:54,438
right, expression.

299
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,509
So uh, this book tour,
is it for a new book?

300
00:17:58,511 --> 00:18:00,044
What do you mean?

301
00:18:00,046 --> 00:18:01,312
I don't know how I
could reword that question

302
00:18:01,314 --> 00:18:02,947
any clearer.

303
00:18:02,949 --> 00:18:06,784
It's the 15th anniversary
of "The Grand Affliction".

304
00:18:06,786 --> 00:18:08,786
Fifth fucken teen.

305
00:18:10,490 --> 00:18:12,924
But you've written
other stuff since, right?

306
00:18:14,027 --> 00:18:16,127
Like short stories
or any novels?

307
00:18:28,908 --> 00:18:32,076
Obviously, that's
why I live alone.

308
00:18:33,213 --> 00:18:35,913
A writer needs isolation.

309
00:18:40,186 --> 00:18:42,887
Well and they need
a personal assistant

310
00:18:42,889 --> 00:18:46,424
but it's distraction, that's
the problem is distraction.

311
00:18:48,094 --> 00:18:49,594
There's no such thing
as writers block,

312
00:18:49,596 --> 00:18:53,598
there's no such thing as
writers block, it's distraction.

313
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:54,465
Distraction.

314
00:18:59,239 --> 00:19:02,540
So tell me about this,
tell me about this poem

315
00:19:02,542 --> 00:19:03,407
that you wrote.

316
00:19:04,344 --> 00:19:07,411
It's actually a short story.

317
00:19:07,413 --> 00:19:09,347
I'd love if you read it,
you don't have to read it

318
00:19:09,349 --> 00:19:11,916
right now or anything,
but maybe tomorrow

319
00:19:11,918 --> 00:19:14,418
or on the book tour sometime.

320
00:19:14,420 --> 00:19:19,090
I'd love to get some
notes or advice.

321
00:19:31,070 --> 00:19:32,270
Okay,

322
00:19:35,708 --> 00:19:37,174
good night.

323
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:38,643
The monster served
Elijah cold pizza.

324
00:19:38,645 --> 00:19:41,212
The master plan was
unveiled, Elijah's

325
00:19:41,214 --> 00:19:43,214
pleas went unanswered.

326
00:19:43,216 --> 00:19:45,149
The monster fell asleep.

327
00:19:45,151 --> 00:19:46,417
The monster passed out.

328
00:19:46,419 --> 00:19:50,087
The monster began
his slumber, no.

329
00:19:50,089 --> 00:19:53,557
The monster started his
slumber, it was the perfect time

330
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:56,327
to attack, it was the
perfect time to pounce.

331
00:19:56,329 --> 00:19:58,663
It was the perfect
time to strike.

332
00:19:58,665 --> 00:20:02,633
However, Elijah had no
idea what to do next.

333
00:20:44,444 --> 00:20:46,210
If you think
this is when you met her,

334
00:20:46,212 --> 00:20:51,248
you're wrong, she met you
first when your family died

335
00:20:52,785 --> 00:20:54,885
and you were standing like a
slain stork refusing to fail,

336
00:20:54,887 --> 00:20:56,420
or cry, or die.

337
00:20:57,890 --> 00:21:02,259
And you said, "Hello, my whole
family died in a waterfall

338
00:21:03,129 --> 00:21:05,029
or on a mattress."

339
00:21:39,332 --> 00:21:40,998
Who the fuck are you?

340
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:41,832
I'm Greg.

341
00:21:43,569 --> 00:21:44,902
Oh.

342
00:21:44,904 --> 00:21:45,736
Okay, let's go.

343
00:22:14,634 --> 00:22:15,499
Ta-da!

344
00:22:21,207 --> 00:22:25,943
Hang on Greg, are you
even old enough to drive?

345
00:22:25,945 --> 00:22:27,111
- Yeah.
- Yeah?

346
00:22:27,113 --> 00:22:28,913
How old are ya?

347
00:22:28,915 --> 00:22:29,980
I'm an adult.

348
00:22:29,982 --> 00:22:30,948
You're an adult.

349
00:22:32,385 --> 00:22:33,584
You don't look like an
adult, you got kinda look

350
00:22:33,586 --> 00:22:35,319
a little fresh face
you got you there.

351
00:22:35,321 --> 00:22:37,021
Eh, you look pretty.

352
00:22:38,224 --> 00:22:39,523
Pre-pubescent I'd say.

353
00:22:44,263 --> 00:22:45,129
Thanks.

354
00:22:50,069 --> 00:22:51,635
You got a real post
mortem aura about you.

355
00:22:51,637 --> 00:22:52,470
Yeah.

356
00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:20,431
Hey, Greg.

357
00:23:21,534 --> 00:23:22,833
How's the list look at the Roxy,

358
00:23:22,835 --> 00:23:24,335
how the ticket sales doing?

359
00:23:25,171 --> 00:23:26,971
The Roxy?

360
00:23:26,973 --> 00:23:29,340
Yeah, the Roxy, the theater
down in Owen Sound there.

361
00:23:29,342 --> 00:23:31,709
Huh, it's a main event!

362
00:23:31,711 --> 00:23:34,178
Jesus man!

363
00:23:34,180 --> 00:23:36,847
What were you into
last night, huh?

364
00:23:38,351 --> 00:23:39,850
I thought last night
was an introductory.

365
00:23:39,852 --> 00:23:41,151
Introductory, introductory.

366
00:23:41,153 --> 00:23:43,654
Well consider yourself
introduced, here.

367
00:23:43,656 --> 00:23:45,222
You know how to drive an RV?

368
00:23:46,158 --> 00:23:47,625
Do you?

369
00:23:47,627 --> 00:23:50,528
No, good luck.

370
00:23:56,235 --> 00:23:58,802
You know what, Gregory, in
some ways I consider myself

371
00:23:58,804 --> 00:24:01,305
your mentor, that
make sense to you?

372
00:24:01,307 --> 00:24:03,874
Okay, I'm gonna give you
some advice about writing.

373
00:24:03,876 --> 00:24:06,243
First, don't be a writer.

374
00:24:06,245 --> 00:24:08,312
This is the next thing
you need to know,

375
00:24:08,314 --> 00:24:11,148
never stop writing,
write everyday.

376
00:24:11,150 --> 00:24:12,683
Like me, I write everyday.

377
00:24:12,685 --> 00:24:16,520
I didn't write today, but, I
didn't write yesterday either.

378
00:24:16,522 --> 00:24:19,823
So why aren't we just
sleeping in the RV?

379
00:24:19,825 --> 00:24:21,325
Cause the RV is for naps.

380
00:24:22,828 --> 00:24:25,863
We're not living in the
fucking thing, just naps.

381
00:24:25,865 --> 00:24:27,998
I'm gonna write
tomorrow, I swear to God.

382
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,334
You should make the same
promise, make that promise.

383
00:24:30,336 --> 00:24:31,368
I make a promise.

384
00:24:31,370 --> 00:24:32,403
Make the promise.

385
00:24:32,405 --> 00:24:33,170
I made the promise.

386
00:24:33,172 --> 00:24:34,238
What's the promise?

387
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,539
I promise to write everyday.

388
00:24:35,541 --> 00:24:37,341
Everyday, did you write today?

389
00:24:38,277 --> 00:24:39,410
No.

390
00:24:39,412 --> 00:24:42,079
No, did
you write yesterday?

391
00:24:42,081 --> 00:24:43,013
- No.
- You're breaking

392
00:24:43,015 --> 00:24:44,315
the fucking promise already.

393
00:24:45,451 --> 00:24:47,885
Okay, so look it, we're
gonna do this right now,

394
00:24:47,887 --> 00:24:49,086
do a haiku about the trees.

395
00:24:49,088 --> 00:24:50,254
See the trees?

396
00:24:50,256 --> 00:24:51,121
Haiku.

397
00:24:51,924 --> 00:24:52,790
Go.

398
00:24:54,293 --> 00:24:55,225
Go.

399
00:24:55,227 --> 00:24:57,361
The green of your bush.

400
00:24:59,198 --> 00:25:00,531
What?

401
00:25:00,533 --> 00:25:04,268
Needles touching on me.

402
00:25:06,706 --> 00:25:08,705
What?

403
00:25:08,707 --> 00:25:10,707
Did you say the needles
touching on me?

404
00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:13,410
Did you just say the
needles touching on me,

405
00:25:13,412 --> 00:25:15,346
that's your fucking haiku?

406
00:25:25,791 --> 00:25:27,291
We're forgetting something.

407
00:25:28,060 --> 00:25:29,259
Like at the house?

408
00:25:29,261 --> 00:25:30,928
No, no, no.

409
00:25:30,930 --> 00:25:33,664
Book signing, book
signing, book signing.

410
00:25:33,666 --> 00:25:36,767
I guarantee we've
got all the books.

411
00:25:36,769 --> 00:25:38,469
No not the books,
not the books.

412
00:25:39,505 --> 00:25:41,572
The standee, the standee.

413
00:25:41,574 --> 00:25:44,608
All right, well we gotta find
a print shop along the way.

414
00:25:44,610 --> 00:25:46,477
What print shop?

415
00:25:46,479 --> 00:25:47,344
Where are we?

416
00:25:49,181 --> 00:25:50,648
Beaverton.

417
00:25:50,650 --> 00:25:53,250
Beaverton, that's
what I call serendipity.

418
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,021
You know what serendipity is?

419
00:25:57,023 --> 00:25:57,921
Yes.

420
00:25:57,923 --> 00:25:59,189
Okay, good.

421
00:25:59,191 --> 00:26:00,724
All right, turn right up here.

422
00:26:01,761 --> 00:26:03,027
How far are we?

423
00:26:03,029 --> 00:26:04,161
I'll tell you when.

424
00:26:18,177 --> 00:26:19,943
Is it?

425
00:26:19,945 --> 00:26:22,246
I will tell you
when to turn, okay?

426
00:26:25,718 --> 00:26:27,017
Now!

427
00:26:35,561 --> 00:26:37,494
That's perfect.

428
00:26:37,496 --> 00:26:38,762
Let's get it in the RV.

429
00:26:43,636 --> 00:26:46,170
Be careful, be careful,
be careful, be careful.

430
00:26:46,172 --> 00:26:48,272
Don't bend it, don't bend it.

431
00:26:52,845 --> 00:26:54,311
Is it in?

432
00:26:54,313 --> 00:26:55,145
Yeah?

433
00:26:56,215 --> 00:26:57,381
Oh yeah baby.

434
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:01,251
Oh no,

435
00:27:01,253 --> 00:27:03,087
Jesus Christ!

436
00:27:03,089 --> 00:27:05,989
Look at that, oh my fucking God!

437
00:27:05,991 --> 00:27:07,224
It's okay we'll figure
it out when we get there.

438
00:27:07,226 --> 00:27:09,760
We're not going
there, that's it man.

439
00:27:09,762 --> 00:27:11,328
I'm done, I'm not going.

440
00:27:12,364 --> 00:27:13,163
Well why?

441
00:27:13,165 --> 00:27:14,732
Why?

442
00:27:14,734 --> 00:27:18,202
Because that my friend is a
bad omen if I've ever seen one.

443
00:27:18,204 --> 00:27:21,038
Look at it, bad omen.

444
00:27:26,278 --> 00:27:27,444
Mind you...

445
00:27:29,849 --> 00:27:32,416
I mean most people know
what I look like, right?

446
00:27:33,452 --> 00:27:36,754
That's just kinda
redundant if I'm there.

447
00:27:38,357 --> 00:27:40,224
Ah, I think it's gonna be okay.

448
00:27:40,226 --> 00:27:41,125
It's gonna be all right.

449
00:27:41,127 --> 00:27:42,192
- Yeah.
- Yeah?

450
00:27:42,194 --> 00:27:43,694
- It's gonna be okay.
- Okay?

451
00:27:44,764 --> 00:27:45,629
All right.

452
00:28:14,293 --> 00:28:17,094
Hi, I'm gonna get the
eggs benedict, and does

453
00:28:17,096 --> 00:28:18,495
that come with home fries?

454
00:28:18,497 --> 00:28:19,429
Yup.

455
00:28:19,431 --> 00:28:20,631
Okay I'll get them, thank you.

456
00:28:20,633 --> 00:28:21,999
And for you?

457
00:28:23,235 --> 00:28:24,902
Sir?

458
00:28:24,904 --> 00:28:27,971
Uh, yeah I'll have a bourbon
please, shot of bourbon neat.

459
00:28:29,141 --> 00:28:32,142
I thought we stopped
because you were famished?

460
00:28:32,144 --> 00:28:34,578
I'll have a piece
of toast, something.

461
00:28:34,580 --> 00:28:37,347
It's before 11 a.m., we
can't serve alcohol yet.

462
00:28:38,918 --> 00:28:40,150
Are you serious?

463
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,920
Jesus Christ!

464
00:28:44,089 --> 00:28:46,290
All right, I'll
have water, water.

465
00:28:46,292 --> 00:28:49,026
A glass of water,
thank you, neat.

466
00:28:49,028 --> 00:28:50,260
Sure.

467
00:28:58,337 --> 00:29:00,370
What are you doing,
you're freaking me out?

468
00:29:00,372 --> 00:29:01,605
I can't find my
mom's credit card.

469
00:29:01,607 --> 00:29:03,207
I can't find
my mom's credit card.

470
00:29:03,209 --> 00:29:06,276
Jesus Christ man,
listen to yourself.

471
00:29:06,278 --> 00:29:08,679
I must have left
it at your place.

472
00:29:08,681 --> 00:29:09,713
It's all right I got this.

473
00:29:09,715 --> 00:29:11,348
Oh, I have to go pee.

474
00:29:17,323 --> 00:29:19,156
Kids eat for free here?

475
00:29:19,158 --> 00:29:20,290
No.

476
00:29:43,515 --> 00:29:46,216
The monster was
beginning to show his true colors.

477
00:29:46,218 --> 00:29:47,718
Elijah had it all wrong.

478
00:29:49,388 --> 00:29:52,222
He didn't have to look for
the perfect moment to strike,

479
00:29:53,058 --> 00:29:55,292
he was bound to self destruct.

480
00:29:57,429 --> 00:30:00,731
That gigantic
fucken chocolate ass.

481
00:30:00,733 --> 00:30:03,667
He saw it when
the monster saw itself,

482
00:30:03,669 --> 00:30:04,935
its reflection.

483
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:09,740
I fucken told ya!

484
00:30:09,742 --> 00:30:11,808
What he saw
wasn't the reality.

485
00:30:13,379 --> 00:30:16,947
His power was merely a
mask, a mask that deflected.

486
00:30:18,083 --> 00:30:19,082
Let's go.

487
00:30:34,233 --> 00:30:35,198
Where are you going?

488
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,033
Book signing.

489
00:30:37,202 --> 00:30:38,201
Did you pay?

490
00:30:39,271 --> 00:30:41,371
What kind of a
question is that?

491
00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:44,541
Of course I paid, I'm a New
York Times best selling author!

492
00:30:45,411 --> 00:30:46,209
Okay, I'm sorry.

493
00:30:46,211 --> 00:30:47,945
Did I pay!

494
00:30:47,947 --> 00:30:49,112
Jesus Christ.

495
00:30:50,282 --> 00:30:53,383
Did you pee when you
went to the bathroom?

496
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:28,185
What the

497
00:31:29,188 --> 00:31:30,787
fuck is this?

498
00:31:30,789 --> 00:31:31,855
This can't be right.

499
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:35,993
This can't be fucken right.

500
00:31:35,995 --> 00:31:39,363
Home of the future,
the future new library.

501
00:31:45,104 --> 00:31:46,236
I gotta make a phone call.

502
00:31:50,876 --> 00:31:52,009
Jesus Christ.

503
00:32:09,628 --> 00:32:12,696
Oh hello, it's
Harvey McCoy calling.

504
00:32:12,698 --> 00:32:15,465
Yes, the author of
"The Grand Affliction".

505
00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:18,835
You set up a reading for
me here at the Meaford

506
00:32:18,837 --> 00:32:22,305
Public Library and I'm
very excited about that,

507
00:32:22,307 --> 00:32:26,910
except it's not even
fucken built yet!

508
00:32:26,912 --> 00:32:29,112
Half of the thing is a Foodland.

509
00:32:30,582 --> 00:32:34,284
It says it's not gonna
be open for a year, man.

510
00:32:35,487 --> 00:32:40,190
This is the 15th anniversary
tour of "The Grand Affliction",

511
00:32:40,192 --> 00:32:41,858
not the 16th!

512
00:32:41,860 --> 00:32:43,627
Not the fucken 16th!

513
00:32:45,364 --> 00:32:46,997
You shoulda let me know.

514
00:32:46,999 --> 00:32:49,666
No you didn't, no you didn't.

515
00:32:49,668 --> 00:32:50,967
If you did I'd know.

516
00:32:56,275 --> 00:32:57,674
What just happened?

517
00:32:57,676 --> 00:32:59,843
What just happened,
what just happened is

518
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,413
a stupid fuck up just happened.

519
00:33:06,085 --> 00:33:09,019
You can not trust anybody ever.

520
00:33:09,021 --> 00:33:10,454
Should we call Meso?

521
00:33:11,256 --> 00:33:12,889
Who?

522
00:33:12,891 --> 00:33:14,124
Your agent.

523
00:33:14,126 --> 00:33:16,326
My agents, my
agents on vacation.

524
00:33:17,863 --> 00:33:22,265
Besides, this is all on
you, man, you fucked up.

525
00:33:23,802 --> 00:33:25,969
You were supposed
to get results, man.

526
00:33:25,971 --> 00:33:27,437
Results, how?

527
00:33:27,439 --> 00:33:31,274
If you managed to get results,
how you did so is futile.

528
00:33:50,796 --> 00:33:52,262
I really
don't understand what

529
00:33:52,264 --> 00:33:53,897
you want me to write.

530
00:33:53,899 --> 00:33:55,232
A scathing letter.

531
00:33:56,468 --> 00:33:58,135
To the library?

532
00:33:58,137 --> 00:34:00,003
No, to
fucken Santa Claus!

533
00:34:02,407 --> 00:34:04,174
These people are
lucky to have me.

534
00:34:04,176 --> 00:34:06,343
All right, start writing.

535
00:34:06,345 --> 00:34:07,210
Okay,

536
00:34:08,013 --> 00:34:09,479
your institution

537
00:34:11,283 --> 00:34:12,149
holds

538
00:34:14,153 --> 00:34:19,222
histories and knowledge, and
all of these wonderful things.

539
00:34:20,492 --> 00:34:24,761
So I find it appalling, no
frankly I find it obscene

540
00:34:24,763 --> 00:34:25,929
that you are run by

541
00:34:30,302 --> 00:34:32,402
inane cunts.

542
00:34:33,305 --> 00:34:34,237
Geez!

543
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:36,506
Just keep writing.

544
00:34:38,644 --> 00:34:43,713
Hatred is a very strong word,
but it is not strong enough

545
00:34:46,885 --> 00:34:50,086
for the loathing I feel for you.

546
00:34:51,156 --> 00:34:55,258
For you hairy horny
hobbit whores.

547
00:34:56,295 --> 00:34:58,795
You know, you can get
a lot more attraction

548
00:34:58,797 --> 00:35:00,597
writing a Yelp
review or something.

549
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,334
That's not a word,
Greg, you know that.

550
00:35:04,336 --> 00:35:05,802
No, the website?

551
00:35:05,804 --> 00:35:08,338
Where you can write reviews
and it actually has an effect

552
00:35:08,340 --> 00:35:09,839
on a place.

553
00:35:09,841 --> 00:35:12,175
You've heard of the
internet, right?

554
00:35:12,177 --> 00:35:14,544
You little shit, of course
I've heard of the internet.

555
00:35:14,546 --> 00:35:16,646
It could really be a
useful tool for promotion

556
00:35:16,648 --> 00:35:19,616
for your events, it can
really help you out.

557
00:35:22,054 --> 00:35:23,386
It's just a suggestion.

558
00:35:41,340 --> 00:35:44,341
All right, you write
that up at the motel, okay?

559
00:35:44,343 --> 00:35:45,275
The Yelp review?

560
00:35:46,278 --> 00:35:47,510
Yes, the Yelp review!

561
00:35:48,914 --> 00:35:50,413
You can't just make up words.

562
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,553
So do you think you'll
have time tonight to read

563
00:35:56,555 --> 00:35:58,221
my short story?

564
00:35:58,223 --> 00:35:59,022
So do you think
you'll have time to tonight

565
00:35:59,024 --> 00:36:00,757
to read my short story?

566
00:36:00,759 --> 00:36:05,362
Do you think time to read the
fucken.

567
00:36:05,364 --> 00:36:06,596
What?

568
00:36:06,598 --> 00:36:08,765
I just don't feel
like reading right now.

569
00:36:11,270 --> 00:36:13,837
And where the hell are we?

570
00:36:26,285 --> 00:36:31,254
Oh, oh we got time for a pit
stop, just up here on the left.

571
00:36:31,256 --> 00:36:34,291
I think we should
just get to the motel.

572
00:36:34,293 --> 00:36:36,126
I got some property
right up here.

573
00:36:37,896 --> 00:36:40,397
Why aren't we staying
there instead of the motel?

574
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,870
Because I am not a
fucken crystal ball, man.

575
00:36:47,306 --> 00:36:48,338
I don't know.

576
00:36:49,474 --> 00:36:53,043
It's more of a, more of
a storage unit really.

577
00:36:54,479 --> 00:36:55,879
Why are we going there?

578
00:36:59,818 --> 00:37:01,918
Greg, if you happen to

579
00:37:04,323 --> 00:37:06,990
get a best selling novel
one day, what would you buy

580
00:37:06,992 --> 00:37:09,326
with that first big pay
check, what would it be?

581
00:37:10,662 --> 00:37:11,795
A plane ticket.

582
00:37:11,797 --> 00:37:12,662
Wrong.

583
00:37:14,032 --> 00:37:16,800
You would buy an expensive
suit, the best suit,

584
00:37:16,802 --> 00:37:19,669
your favorite suit, the
suit you always wanted.

585
00:37:19,671 --> 00:37:21,304
You know why?

586
00:37:21,306 --> 00:37:23,673
Cause then you
look the part, huh?

587
00:37:25,210 --> 00:37:26,710
Write it down.

588
00:37:26,712 --> 00:37:27,577
Go ahead.

589
00:37:28,313 --> 00:37:29,412
Write it down.

590
00:37:33,819 --> 00:37:36,319
So we're detouring for a suit?

591
00:37:36,321 --> 00:37:41,391
Oh no, my friend, not
just any suit a lucky suit.

592
00:37:42,327 --> 00:37:43,526
And it's right up
here on the left.

593
00:37:56,308 --> 00:37:57,974
And you missed it.

594
00:38:25,237 --> 00:38:27,504
All right, so it's on the top
floor, upstairs bedroom closet

595
00:38:27,506 --> 00:38:31,741
I think, uh, but I wouldn't
put it past me in the basement.

596
00:38:33,412 --> 00:38:34,277
So go.

597
00:38:35,414 --> 00:38:37,380
So you're not
coming in with me?

598
00:38:37,382 --> 00:38:38,248
Well I,

599
00:38:39,284 --> 00:38:40,083
no.

600
00:38:40,085 --> 00:38:41,284
This is your house?

601
00:38:41,286 --> 00:38:43,052
Yeah, it's my house,
it's my house, it's just

602
00:38:43,054 --> 00:38:45,288
it's very dusty in there
and I don't wanna expose

603
00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:49,025
myself to a dangerous dust.

604
00:38:50,729 --> 00:38:52,362
But you're smoking.

605
00:38:53,632 --> 00:38:55,398
Jesus Christ, for a fucken
assistant you complain a lot

606
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:56,933
about assisting.

607
00:38:56,935 --> 00:38:58,468
Let's go, assist, assist.

608
00:38:59,905 --> 00:39:01,538
Just thought I'd get some
writerly advice or some

609
00:39:01,540 --> 00:39:05,875
knowledge or something,
but I guess I'm not.

610
00:39:07,212 --> 00:39:08,445
Don't bang a groupie.

611
00:39:09,247 --> 00:39:10,113
What?

612
00:39:10,949 --> 00:39:12,282
Let's go, let's go!

613
00:40:26,558 --> 00:40:28,057
What the fuck.

614
00:40:54,219 --> 00:40:55,051
No.

615
00:41:03,261 --> 00:41:04,694
Harvey.

616
00:41:13,004 --> 00:41:13,836
I got it!

617
00:41:19,444 --> 00:41:20,643
Fuck, fuck.

618
00:41:23,748 --> 00:41:24,747
Who the fuck are you?

619
00:41:24,749 --> 00:41:26,249
I'm Greg.

620
00:41:26,251 --> 00:41:28,084
Shelby.

621
00:41:28,086 --> 00:41:30,787
Well look who it fucking is.

622
00:41:30,789 --> 00:41:32,455
Harvey goddamn McCoy.

623
00:41:32,457 --> 00:41:34,390
I knew you'd have to
be lurking around here.

624
00:41:34,392 --> 00:41:35,858
Hi, baby, how you doin?

625
00:41:35,860 --> 00:41:37,794
It's been a long
time, you look great.

626
00:41:37,796 --> 00:41:39,062
Are you fucking serious?

627
00:41:39,064 --> 00:41:40,563
Yeah, you look...

628
00:41:40,565 --> 00:41:42,432
Did you pay a fucking child
to come steal your suit back?

629
00:41:42,434 --> 00:41:45,234
No, of course I
didn't, come on.

630
00:41:45,236 --> 00:41:46,703
It's not what this looks like.

631
00:41:46,705 --> 00:41:48,571
It doesn't look
like that at all.

632
00:41:48,573 --> 00:41:50,239
Baby, you gotta
lower the gun okay.

633
00:41:50,241 --> 00:41:52,308
The gun, lower the gun
please, so we can talk.

634
00:41:52,310 --> 00:41:53,776
We can have a
little conversation.

635
00:41:53,778 --> 00:41:54,877
Can I leave?

636
00:41:54,879 --> 00:41:56,279
- No!
- No!

637
00:41:56,281 --> 00:41:58,114
Okay, I don't know who you
are, but you should stay

638
00:41:58,116 --> 00:41:59,716
away from this piece of shit!

639
00:41:59,718 --> 00:42:01,551
He's a bad man.

640
00:42:01,553 --> 00:42:05,321
Cheryl, please, you
gotta let me explain.

641
00:42:05,323 --> 00:42:07,857
How could you leave
without saying anything?

642
00:42:09,427 --> 00:42:10,827
I left a note.

643
00:42:10,829 --> 00:42:12,595
You ripped out the words
at the end from your book

644
00:42:12,597 --> 00:42:14,297
and taped it to a picture of us.

645
00:42:14,299 --> 00:42:15,765
What?

646
00:42:15,767 --> 00:42:17,100
Did I?

647
00:42:17,102 --> 00:42:18,468
That sounds pretty
unlikely, really.

648
00:42:18,470 --> 00:42:20,670
But still, for whatever
reason, I waited months

649
00:42:20,672 --> 00:42:22,305
for you to come back.

650
00:42:22,307 --> 00:42:24,807
I fucking used up all my
vacation days just in case

651
00:42:24,809 --> 00:42:26,576
I would miss you.

652
00:42:26,578 --> 00:42:28,444
Darling, that sounds
very ill advised.

653
00:42:28,446 --> 00:42:31,481
Well I'm not taking your
shit anymore, no more.

654
00:42:31,483 --> 00:42:33,182
Fuck I did everything for you.

655
00:42:33,184 --> 00:42:36,185
I bought 40 copies of
your book and I basically

656
00:42:36,187 --> 00:42:38,454
promoted the thing,
for what, for what?

657
00:42:38,456 --> 00:42:40,056
For nothing, to be abandoned!

658
00:42:41,326 --> 00:42:45,595
Darling, I think what we
gotta do right now please,

659
00:42:45,597 --> 00:42:48,164
is we gotta look at
the positives, okay?

660
00:42:48,166 --> 00:42:50,500
The positives between me
and you, in our relationship

661
00:42:50,502 --> 00:42:52,468
we had positive moments.

662
00:42:52,470 --> 00:42:53,269
We did.

663
00:42:56,174 --> 00:42:57,006
Like,

664
00:42:58,843 --> 00:43:01,310
the time I stopped you
from getting the tattoo.

665
00:43:01,312 --> 00:43:03,379
You're not the
fucking stick and poke.

666
00:43:04,783 --> 00:43:06,416
I thought that was
something very different.

667
00:43:08,153 --> 00:43:12,455
Uh please, darling, you
know I would not come here

668
00:43:12,457 --> 00:43:14,457
if I didn't have a good reason.

669
00:43:16,061 --> 00:43:17,894
More like an opportunity?

670
00:43:19,297 --> 00:43:22,265
Well yeah, yeah,
like an opportunity.

671
00:43:25,203 --> 00:43:29,772
Like an opportunity to
introduce you to my child, okay.

672
00:43:31,209 --> 00:43:32,241
Oh my God.

673
00:43:32,243 --> 00:43:33,109
Yeah.

674
00:43:34,679 --> 00:43:35,478
Are you serious?

675
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,380
I'm very serious.

676
00:43:37,382 --> 00:43:38,915
But I thought
you had a daughter.

677
00:43:38,917 --> 00:43:39,782
So did I.

678
00:43:41,219 --> 00:43:42,885
- Harvey?
- Yes.

679
00:43:42,887 --> 00:43:43,753
This is huge.

680
00:43:45,356 --> 00:43:47,490
It's gargantuan, huh?

681
00:43:47,492 --> 00:43:49,258
Oh hi, sweetie.

682
00:43:50,161 --> 00:43:51,360
Run!

683
00:44:14,185 --> 00:44:15,685
Fuck you, Harvey!

684
00:44:18,289 --> 00:44:20,022
Holy fuck!

685
00:44:33,972 --> 00:44:36,739
Never tell a girl you
wrote a book about her,

686
00:44:36,741 --> 00:44:37,940
even if you did.

687
00:44:37,942 --> 00:44:39,342
That's my advice to you, pal.

688
00:44:41,045 --> 00:44:42,345
Oh man.

689
00:44:45,216 --> 00:44:48,050
Jesus man, what the hell.

690
00:44:48,052 --> 00:44:49,318
What the hell?

691
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,553
- Yeah.
- I'm the one

692
00:44:50,555 --> 00:44:52,288
who should be asking
that question.

693
00:44:52,290 --> 00:44:55,992
Okay look, I would never
have sent you into that house

694
00:44:55,994 --> 00:44:57,960
if I had known that
woman had a gun.

695
00:44:57,962 --> 00:45:01,230
I promise I never
would have, ever.

696
00:45:01,232 --> 00:45:03,599
We almost fucking
died back there, died,

697
00:45:03,601 --> 00:45:05,234
and for what, a suit?

698
00:45:05,236 --> 00:45:08,204
Yeah, a very
expensive suit, man.

699
00:45:09,340 --> 00:45:10,473
I quit.

700
00:45:10,475 --> 00:45:11,741
You can't quit,
there's no where to go,

701
00:45:11,743 --> 00:45:13,276
you're in the middle of nowhere.

702
00:45:13,278 --> 00:45:16,712
This is fucking insane I'm
not doing this for $100 a day.

703
00:45:18,917 --> 00:45:22,285
Okay, okay, I'll make it $150.

704
00:45:22,287 --> 00:45:24,153
That's not why
I took this job.

705
00:45:24,923 --> 00:45:26,689
Okay.

706
00:45:28,293 --> 00:45:29,792
What do you want?

707
00:45:29,794 --> 00:45:31,694
I just want you to read my
short story and give me notes

708
00:45:31,696 --> 00:45:33,596
on it to help me
become a better writer.

709
00:45:33,598 --> 00:45:36,032
Writers get better by
writing, there you go.

710
00:45:37,936 --> 00:45:39,402
Then I guess you peaked.

711
00:45:46,311 --> 00:45:47,376
All right.

712
00:45:48,947 --> 00:45:50,680
All right, I'll read your story.

713
00:45:53,985 --> 00:45:55,117
I'll read your story.

714
00:45:57,222 --> 00:45:58,888
You don't believe me?

715
00:45:58,890 --> 00:46:00,022
Here, pass it over.

716
00:46:01,693 --> 00:46:04,193
I'll read it tonight at
the motel, I promise.

717
00:46:09,167 --> 00:46:10,399
Thank you very much.

718
00:48:42,286 --> 00:48:43,519
Testing, test.

719
00:49:19,357 --> 00:49:21,057
How much time we got, Greg?

720
00:49:21,059 --> 00:49:22,491
You're already
15 minutes late.

721
00:49:22,493 --> 00:49:23,325
Perfect.

722
00:49:31,702 --> 00:49:33,369
I want you to go see how
many people are sitting

723
00:49:33,371 --> 00:49:34,770
in those chairs.

724
00:49:43,281 --> 00:49:46,449
Please welcome
Mr. Harvard Wolworth McCoy.

725
00:50:00,231 --> 00:50:05,367
Well hello
everyone.

726
00:50:05,369 --> 00:50:08,270
I'd like to thank you
all for coming out.

727
00:50:08,272 --> 00:50:11,807
It's very hard to believe
that "The Grand Affliction"

728
00:50:11,809 --> 00:50:13,476
is 15 years old.

729
00:50:15,580 --> 00:50:19,315
I've been asked to do a Q
and A, but I'm gonna forgo

730
00:50:19,317 --> 00:50:22,785
that for the time being,
because my friend here asked

731
00:50:22,787 --> 00:50:24,954
for me to read a
special passage.

732
00:50:24,956 --> 00:50:28,924
I don't mind saying it's
a difficult passage,

733
00:50:28,926 --> 00:50:30,392
and I'll be frank,

734
00:50:32,463 --> 00:50:34,463
it's a painful passage.

735
00:50:34,465 --> 00:50:35,397
So bear with me.

736
00:50:54,852 --> 00:50:55,651
Name?

737
00:50:55,653 --> 00:50:56,785
Lauren.

738
00:50:56,787 --> 00:50:58,087
Lorraine.

739
00:50:58,089 --> 00:50:59,155
Lauren.

740
00:50:59,157 --> 00:51:01,257
There you go, thank you.

741
00:51:01,259 --> 00:51:02,658
I love your book.

742
00:51:02,660 --> 00:51:04,093
Oh thank you very much.

743
00:51:04,095 --> 00:51:05,361
I wrote a paper on it.

744
00:51:05,363 --> 00:51:06,962
No kidding!

745
00:51:06,964 --> 00:51:08,664
I'm very flattered,
what's your name?

746
00:51:08,666 --> 00:51:09,532
Dan.

747
00:51:11,369 --> 00:51:12,434
There you go, Dan.

748
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:13,202
Thank you.

749
00:51:13,204 --> 00:51:15,204
Have a good day.

750
00:51:15,206 --> 00:51:16,372
Harvey McCoy.

751
00:51:17,675 --> 00:51:19,208
Do I know you?

752
00:51:19,210 --> 00:51:22,344
Probably, I'm a reporter
for the local paper.

753
00:51:22,346 --> 00:51:25,281
I was hoping you'd be open
to answering a few questions.

754
00:51:25,283 --> 00:51:28,450
Look, press questions
go through my agent.

755
00:51:28,452 --> 00:51:30,286
Hey, what just
happened in there?

756
00:51:30,288 --> 00:51:32,688
Don't worry, this
isn't about the book.

757
00:51:33,991 --> 00:51:36,358
Oh, I'm answering questions
only about the book.

758
00:51:38,462 --> 00:51:39,295
Fine.

759
00:51:40,631 --> 00:51:43,566
What about the
inspiration behind the book?

760
00:52:05,756 --> 00:52:06,755
Let's go.

761
00:53:06,150 --> 00:53:07,616
I have a daughter.

762
00:53:09,253 --> 00:53:12,321
I saw a picture
on your mantle.

763
00:53:12,323 --> 00:53:13,155
Yeah, hm.

764
00:53:20,298 --> 00:53:21,163
Where is she?

765
00:53:28,306 --> 00:53:29,905
I was a good father.

766
00:53:29,907 --> 00:53:32,641
I was a good father, for a
few years I was a good father.

767
00:53:34,178 --> 00:53:36,979
It was something I wanted to
be, I made the commitment.

768
00:53:39,750 --> 00:53:41,650
I loved her, she loved
me, I was her whole world,

769
00:53:41,652 --> 00:53:42,918
she was my whole world.

770
00:53:44,422 --> 00:53:46,021
And when they're that age
and they look up at you,

771
00:53:46,023 --> 00:53:50,326
they don't want anything from
you but for you to love them

772
00:53:50,328 --> 00:53:52,428
and I did, I loved
her and she loved me.

773
00:53:55,466 --> 00:53:57,266
Which is fine, but I wasn't
totally getting along

774
00:53:57,268 --> 00:53:58,534
with her mother.

775
00:53:59,603 --> 00:54:01,403
We were living together,
we were married.

776
00:54:03,274 --> 00:54:08,344
Anyway, so I got this, my first
big, my first big book deal.

777
00:54:10,214 --> 00:54:12,848
And it was a big deal
to me, and I thought,

778
00:54:12,850 --> 00:54:16,352
"Man, I better take this
seriously and I've gotta put

779
00:54:16,354 --> 00:54:17,853
some time into it."

780
00:54:17,855 --> 00:54:21,190
And I put all this time into
and that took time away from,

781
00:54:22,626 --> 00:54:26,261
from her and my marriage.

782
00:54:27,498 --> 00:54:29,665
You know, it's not an
uncommon story, right,

783
00:54:29,667 --> 00:54:33,235
when you just head off
in different directions.

784
00:54:33,237 --> 00:54:36,372
And, you know, I knew
it was coming to an end,

785
00:54:36,374 --> 00:54:37,206
so did she.

786
00:54:38,576 --> 00:54:42,978
And we separated, and for
awhile it wasn't all that bad,

787
00:54:42,980 --> 00:54:43,812
it was...

788
00:54:46,150 --> 00:54:50,252
It was manageable, you
know, like it wasn't ideal

789
00:54:50,254 --> 00:54:53,155
it wasn't the dream,
it was just manageable.

790
00:54:55,226 --> 00:54:57,493
But to cope with it,

791
00:54:58,863 --> 00:55:00,496
man I started drinking.

792
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,099
I started drinking real heavy.

793
00:55:05,369 --> 00:55:08,837
And that just uh, I
just turned everything

794
00:55:08,839 --> 00:55:10,072
into a giant mess.

795
00:55:13,177 --> 00:55:16,311
So, I couldn't visit anymore,

796
00:55:18,249 --> 00:55:20,416
she didn't want me to come
around, because of things

797
00:55:20,418 --> 00:55:22,217
that happened that I'm
not even gonna go into

798
00:55:22,219 --> 00:55:24,620
that frankly, I don't
even remember, not really.

799
00:55:26,223 --> 00:55:27,523
I don't remember everything.

800
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,760
But I always remember
her birthday.

801
00:55:34,932 --> 00:55:37,299
I needed that connection,
I needed to feel

802
00:55:39,236 --> 00:55:40,869
I had a connection with her.

803
00:55:44,241 --> 00:55:46,408
And I looked for it on her
birthday's, and when her

804
00:55:46,410 --> 00:55:48,143
fifth birthday came around

805
00:55:52,116 --> 00:55:54,216
her mother didn't
want me to see her.

806
00:55:54,218 --> 00:55:56,552
That was the thing, she
was not gonna let me see

807
00:55:58,389 --> 00:56:00,489
my own daughter on her fifth,

808
00:56:01,959 --> 00:56:04,893
fifth birthday, which
honestly I understood.

809
00:56:04,895 --> 00:56:08,897
At the time when she said
that, as pissed as I was,

810
00:56:11,402 --> 00:56:12,734
I understood why.

811
00:56:18,175 --> 00:56:20,342
So on the day of her
birthday I drank.

812
00:56:20,344 --> 00:56:21,810
I got up early

813
00:56:25,082 --> 00:56:26,849
and I drank a hell of a
lot and I got hammered,

814
00:56:26,851 --> 00:56:29,518
I got blackout drunk.

815
00:56:33,657 --> 00:56:37,326
And the next thing
I know

816
00:56:40,097 --> 00:56:41,530
next thing I know,

817
00:56:44,702 --> 00:56:47,336
I was wrapped around the
tree out front of the house.

818
00:56:50,140 --> 00:56:51,173
Totaled the car.

819
00:56:52,810 --> 00:56:54,843
And there were kids, it
was a birthday party,

820
00:56:54,845 --> 00:56:56,945
so there's kids coming
in and out of the,

821
00:56:59,884 --> 00:57:02,417
my daughter was coming
in and out of the house.

822
00:57:07,324 --> 00:57:09,191
And that was it,
I'd finished it.

823
00:57:12,997 --> 00:57:15,731
I was never to be
forgiven for that.

824
00:57:17,501 --> 00:57:18,300
And again,

825
00:57:20,337 --> 00:57:21,370
I knew why.

826
00:57:27,378 --> 00:57:30,712
As horrible as it looked, it
was as horrible as I felt.

827
00:57:32,917 --> 00:57:36,451
And I knew that I had
lost, I'd lost them.

828
00:57:38,422 --> 00:57:40,822
It's not something
you can accept really,

829
00:57:40,824 --> 00:57:45,327
so what I did was, I thought
to myself, "There's gotta

830
00:57:45,329 --> 00:57:47,930
be a way that I can make this,

831
00:57:47,932 --> 00:57:50,399
some way that I can make this,

832
00:57:51,869 --> 00:57:54,736
some way I could make it okay."

833
00:57:54,738 --> 00:57:58,507
You know, manageable
again, normal again.

834
00:58:00,744 --> 00:58:03,445
So I did the smart
thing, I quit drinking.

835
00:58:03,447 --> 00:58:04,479
I stopped drinkin.

836
00:58:05,516 --> 00:58:08,917
Which was a big deal
and wasn't easy.

837
00:58:11,221 --> 00:58:16,291
And uh, the next thing I
thought I had to do was,

838
00:58:17,061 --> 00:58:19,361
well I'm gonna write that book.

839
00:58:22,967 --> 00:58:23,832
And I did.

840
00:58:26,637 --> 00:58:28,670
It wasn't the book
the publisher wanted,

841
00:58:29,473 --> 00:58:30,839
but a different book.

842
00:58:32,643 --> 00:58:34,776
But luckily he liked
it, he loved it.

843
00:58:35,946 --> 00:58:38,246
And so did other people,
because it ended up on

844
00:58:38,248 --> 00:58:42,317
the New York Times best
selling list, as I like to say.

845
00:58:45,656 --> 00:58:48,457
But that book,
that 300 page book,

846
00:58:54,431 --> 00:58:56,865
was meant for one person only,

847
00:58:58,268 --> 00:58:59,134
meant for Hannah.

848
00:59:02,740 --> 00:59:04,373
So that she could

849
00:59:06,577 --> 00:59:07,976
see how I felt,

850
00:59:10,347 --> 00:59:11,847
hear my apology,

851
00:59:14,418 --> 00:59:17,352
and understand that
this is important to me.

852
00:59:17,354 --> 00:59:21,423
That she understood that I knew

853
00:59:23,661 --> 00:59:27,396
I had, I had ruined
her first family,

854
00:59:30,868 --> 00:59:35,937
and that maybe this was a
place to start from, this book.

855
00:59:37,775 --> 00:59:39,474
Because I was never gonna
reach her, I was never

856
00:59:39,476 --> 00:59:41,009
gonna get a card to her,
I was never gonna get

857
00:59:41,011 --> 00:59:42,344
a phone call to her.

858
00:59:42,346 --> 00:59:44,546
I didn't even know for
a long period of time,

859
00:59:46,150 --> 00:59:48,183
where they were living.

860
00:59:50,854 --> 00:59:52,187
But if I put a book out,

861
00:59:54,458 --> 00:59:57,492
it's out there forever,
she'll find it one day

862
00:59:57,494 --> 00:59:59,227
and she'll read it.

863
00:59:59,229 --> 01:00:00,195
And it's dedicated

864
01:00:03,867 --> 01:00:04,766
to Hannah McCoy.

865
01:00:10,407 --> 01:00:13,408
But she didn't read it,
or at least if she did

866
01:00:17,147 --> 01:00:19,414
I guess it didn't
mean much to her,

867
01:00:21,919 --> 01:00:25,987
because I never heard from
her or her mother again,

868
01:00:27,324 --> 01:00:29,391
for 15 years,

869
01:00:30,861 --> 01:00:31,727
16 years.

870
01:00:36,867 --> 01:00:41,837
So I decided that the next
best thing I could do,

871
01:00:45,042 --> 01:00:48,410
because I knew, the only
thing I knew about her

872
01:00:48,412 --> 01:00:49,745
was that she lives in

873
01:00:51,882 --> 01:00:52,681
Owen Sound.

874
01:00:55,285 --> 01:00:57,185
- The last stop.
- The last stop.

875
01:00:58,756 --> 01:01:00,789
That's what this
whole thing is about.

876
01:01:00,791 --> 01:01:04,426
This what everything is about,
I sank in my very last penny,

877
01:01:05,896 --> 01:01:07,896
I made sure my name
was in the newspapers,

878
01:01:07,898 --> 01:01:09,297
I did the interviews,

879
01:01:13,303 --> 01:01:16,538
because I thought if
she knew I was here

880
01:01:20,310 --> 01:01:24,479
then maybe, you know
maybe, maybe she comes.

881
01:01:28,552 --> 01:01:30,285
I don't think she's gonna come.

882
01:01:31,421 --> 01:01:36,391
I mean, I don't think
this is the right move.

883
01:01:39,296 --> 01:01:41,496
I just can't accept this.

884
01:01:48,906 --> 01:01:52,707
This is the stupidest
fucking idea I ever had.

885
01:01:54,478 --> 01:01:56,011
I don't think it's stupid.

886
01:01:56,780 --> 01:01:59,381
No?

887
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,488
All right, I'm gonna go
outside and get some fresh air.

888
01:02:12,362 --> 01:02:16,698
Hm, don't stay up all night
on that thing, all right?

889
01:02:19,002 --> 01:02:21,102
I think tomorrow's
gonna be a good one.

890
01:02:23,006 --> 01:02:24,539
I hope you're right, kid.

891
01:03:50,894 --> 01:03:52,193
Hey, Mom.

892
01:03:52,195 --> 01:03:52,928
Where
the hell are you?

893
01:03:52,930 --> 01:03:53,929
Are you running away?

894
01:03:53,931 --> 01:03:54,729
What?

895
01:03:54,731 --> 01:03:56,398
No I'm not running away.

896
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:57,632
There's over 20
charges on my credit card,

897
01:03:57,634 --> 01:03:59,367
- what are doing?
- How many charges?

898
01:03:59,369 --> 01:04:02,771
Yes, you racked
up over $2,000 on my card!

899
01:04:02,773 --> 01:04:05,073
I thought I left the
credit card at Harvey's.

900
01:04:05,075 --> 01:04:06,441
I am calling
the police right now,

901
01:04:06,443 --> 01:04:08,310
and I'm coming to get you.

902
01:04:08,312 --> 01:04:11,046
No, Mom, don't call anyone,
I know how to fix this.

903
01:04:11,048 --> 01:04:13,214
I warned you about
this fucking guy, Greg.

904
01:04:13,216 --> 01:04:15,083
Mom, it's okay, I
love you good bye.

905
01:04:15,085 --> 01:04:16,885
No, Greg, do
not hang up the phone.

906
01:04:31,101 --> 01:04:32,467
Who the fuck are you?

907
01:04:32,469 --> 01:04:33,468
Fucking, Greg!

908
01:04:34,604 --> 01:04:36,004
Look, Greg, I think
you got the wrong room.

909
01:04:36,006 --> 01:04:38,006
No, I've got the right one.

910
01:04:38,008 --> 01:04:39,341
Oh fuck!

911
01:04:39,343 --> 01:04:40,275
Where the fuck is my
mom's credit card, Harvey?

912
01:04:40,277 --> 01:04:41,309
Hey!

913
01:04:41,311 --> 01:04:42,610
Hey, really?

914
01:04:42,612 --> 01:04:45,013
Greg, I don't have
your mom's credit card.

915
01:04:45,015 --> 01:04:46,781
I don't know what you're
talking about, get off me.

916
01:04:48,618 --> 01:04:50,118
Ow, ow.

917
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,120
What the fuck is this?

918
01:04:52,122 --> 01:04:54,055
I'll tell you
what this is, Grego,

919
01:04:56,126 --> 01:04:58,994
that's my credit card my name
is Wendy Giggles.

920
01:04:58,996 --> 01:05:00,996
Shut the fuck up, Harvey.

921
01:05:00,998 --> 01:05:02,330
I don't think that's her
name, I don't think that's

922
01:05:02,332 --> 01:05:03,365
her real name.

923
01:06:01,425 --> 01:06:03,091
Greg.

924
01:06:03,093 --> 01:06:04,826
I'd like to talk.

925
01:06:04,828 --> 01:06:07,429
What could you possibly
have to say to me right now?

926
01:06:08,765 --> 01:06:11,332
Well, thank
you for finding me.

927
01:06:12,402 --> 01:06:14,803
That's it, not sorry?

928
01:06:16,273 --> 01:06:17,839
What the fuck are you
thinking in there?

929
01:06:17,841 --> 01:06:19,507
Your biggest event is
tomorrow and you're drinking

930
01:06:19,509 --> 01:06:20,742
yourself stupid?

931
01:06:24,915 --> 01:06:26,915
Everything you've
put towards this

932
01:06:28,351 --> 01:06:31,519
is shot now, do you not
give a fuck about anything?

933
01:06:34,224 --> 01:06:36,124
I thought this was
for your daughter.

934
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:38,159
Or was that even true?

935
01:06:39,396 --> 01:06:42,097
I would never lie
about her, Greg.

936
01:06:42,099 --> 01:06:44,365
I don't know to what
extent you'd lie anymore

937
01:06:44,367 --> 01:06:45,300
to get what you want.

938
01:06:51,374 --> 01:06:54,242
What everyone says
about you is true,

939
01:06:54,244 --> 01:06:55,810
you're a washed up asshole.

940
01:07:04,087 --> 01:07:05,120
What are you doing?

941
01:07:08,592 --> 01:07:10,925
I think I'm having
a heart attack, Greg.

942
01:07:10,927 --> 01:07:12,894
What, a heart attack?

943
01:07:26,243 --> 01:07:27,976
Hello,
911 what's your emergency?

944
01:07:27,978 --> 01:07:30,245
Hello, I think my boss
is having a heart attack.

945
01:07:30,247 --> 01:07:32,447
Okay, is he breathing?

946
01:07:32,449 --> 01:07:34,415
Yeah, he's conscious.

947
01:07:34,417 --> 01:07:36,151
What's your location?

948
01:07:36,153 --> 01:07:38,953
We're at
the Traveler's Motel.

949
01:07:38,955 --> 01:07:40,355
Okay, stay
with me, we have someone

950
01:07:40,357 --> 01:07:41,489
on the way.

951
01:08:05,048 --> 01:08:06,447
Is he gonna be okay?

952
01:08:06,449 --> 01:08:10,051
You
called us just in time.

953
01:09:27,564 --> 01:09:30,231
No offense, but
this Greg protagonist

954
01:09:30,233 --> 01:09:32,233
is so unlikeable.

955
01:09:32,235 --> 01:09:34,135
He's really
the shell of a human.

956
01:09:34,137 --> 01:09:36,638
He was just
frustratingly passive.

957
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,706
Okay, your
story was jarring,

958
01:09:38,708 --> 01:09:40,942
there's no passion
behind your work.

959
01:09:40,944 --> 01:09:42,277
I'm so sorry.

960
01:09:42,279 --> 01:09:43,711
It just
doesn't seem like

961
01:09:43,713 --> 01:09:46,214
it's coming from anywhere
that feels real right now.

962
01:09:46,216 --> 01:09:48,116
It's just one school.

963
01:09:48,118 --> 01:09:49,450
You got
to make it about you.

964
01:09:49,452 --> 01:09:51,753
Hey how's it
going, this is Greg Gifford.

965
01:09:51,755 --> 01:09:53,321
I too, as well, write.

966
01:09:53,323 --> 01:09:54,622
I am a writer.

967
01:09:54,624 --> 01:09:55,657
So what do
you write about, Craig?

968
01:09:55,659 --> 01:09:58,126
What are your demons?

969
01:09:58,128 --> 01:09:59,494
What are these?

970
01:09:59,496 --> 01:10:01,396
Isolation, it's the distraction

971
01:10:01,398 --> 01:10:04,465
that's the problem,
is distraction.

972
01:10:04,467 --> 01:10:07,835
There's no such thing
as writers block.

973
01:10:09,272 --> 01:10:10,638
Distraction...

974
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,273
Distraction.

975
01:12:01,418 --> 01:12:02,617
You waited for me.

976
01:12:02,619 --> 01:12:03,551
You gotta be
fucking kidding me.

977
01:12:03,553 --> 01:12:05,119
I never doubted you kid.

978
01:12:05,121 --> 01:12:06,888
Fuck off, Harvey.

979
01:12:06,890 --> 01:12:07,789
Greg, please.

980
01:12:08,858 --> 01:12:10,224
You just had a
fucking heart attack,

981
01:12:10,226 --> 01:12:11,259
what are you doing here?

982
01:12:11,261 --> 01:12:12,693
Exactly.

983
01:12:12,695 --> 01:12:15,430
And the only reason I am
here is because of you, man.

984
01:12:17,567 --> 01:12:19,300
Look, I know maybe
I've been a bit,

985
01:12:20,437 --> 01:12:21,803
I've been a bit unreliable.

986
01:12:21,805 --> 01:12:23,237
Unreliable?

987
01:12:23,239 --> 01:12:25,606
Yeah, maybe you're still
pissed off about the whole

988
01:12:25,608 --> 01:12:28,876
mom Visa thing, but this
heart attack has shown me

989
01:12:28,878 --> 01:12:31,746
that maybe I don't got
a lot of chances left

990
01:12:31,748 --> 01:12:33,014
to say I'm sorry,

991
01:12:34,250 --> 01:12:36,651
and Greg, I'm sorry.

992
01:12:38,888 --> 01:12:40,455
Buddy, you're my lucky suit.

993
01:12:42,258 --> 01:12:43,891
You don't believe me?

994
01:12:43,893 --> 01:12:45,326
You don't believe me?!

995
01:12:45,328 --> 01:12:46,194
All right,

996
01:12:47,397 --> 01:12:48,463
all right.

997
01:12:50,934 --> 01:12:51,799
See that.

998
01:12:54,304 --> 01:12:57,171
Out with the old,
in with the new.

999
01:13:00,510 --> 01:13:03,277
What the fuck was
that supposed to prove?

1000
01:13:03,279 --> 01:13:08,249
I don't really know actually,
but god that felt great, eh?

1001
01:13:08,251 --> 01:13:10,485
So come on, what do you
say, we go to the Roxy?

1002
01:13:11,654 --> 01:13:16,123
I don't know.

1003
01:13:16,125 --> 01:13:18,426
You know, Elijah
woulda followed through.

1004
01:13:19,662 --> 01:13:21,362
You read my story?

1005
01:13:21,364 --> 01:13:22,196
Yeah, I did.

1006
01:13:24,501 --> 01:13:26,667
Look, tonight's not
gonna be about me,

1007
01:13:28,371 --> 01:13:29,604
I want it to be about us.

1008
01:13:31,474 --> 01:13:32,340
I promise,

1009
01:13:33,343 --> 01:13:34,208
please.

1010
01:13:36,012 --> 01:13:36,878
Yeah?

1011
01:13:52,195 --> 01:13:54,362
Yeah.

1012
01:14:07,076 --> 01:14:09,377
Get you up in
a nice suit, man.

1013
01:14:37,440 --> 01:14:39,373
Say, that looks spiffy.

1014
01:14:39,375 --> 01:14:41,375
I look like a
weight loss promo.

1015
01:14:41,377 --> 01:14:44,445
Yeah, one that
works.

1016
01:14:54,424 --> 01:14:56,357
Oh, oh, this is it, man.

1017
01:14:56,359 --> 01:14:57,258
Yeah, this?

1018
01:14:57,260 --> 01:14:58,593
Yeah, this looks great.

1019
01:14:58,595 --> 01:14:59,694
How's it feel?

1020
01:14:59,696 --> 01:15:00,695
It feels lucky.

1021
01:15:01,864 --> 01:15:05,266
Look at us now, man,
we are legends baby.

1022
01:15:39,736 --> 01:15:42,069
This place is packed, man.

1023
01:15:42,071 --> 01:15:43,971
How the shit did you do that?

1024
01:15:43,973 --> 01:15:47,408
If you manage to get a result,
how you did so is futile.

1025
01:15:48,277 --> 01:15:49,577
Shut up.

1026
01:15:50,747 --> 01:15:52,279
Hey, how do I look?

1027
01:15:52,281 --> 01:15:54,582
Optimistically, decrepit.

1028
01:15:54,584 --> 01:15:55,483
Perfect, perfect.

1029
01:15:55,485 --> 01:15:57,351
Okay, we can't go in this way,

1030
01:15:57,353 --> 01:15:59,120
we're gonna have to
find another way in.

1031
01:15:59,122 --> 01:16:00,521
Go around back.

1032
01:16:00,523 --> 01:16:02,657
You do that, I have to
take care of something first,

1033
01:16:02,659 --> 01:16:04,125
but I'll meet you in there.

1034
01:16:04,127 --> 01:16:06,327
All right, okay,
I'll see you in there.

1035
01:16:29,652 --> 01:16:31,185
Hey, Hannah.

1036
01:16:31,187 --> 01:16:32,987
Hey, Greg right?

1037
01:16:32,989 --> 01:16:35,122
Yeah, sorry I couldn't
find you anywhere.

1038
01:16:36,192 --> 01:16:37,224
You found me.

1039
01:16:37,226 --> 01:16:38,292
I did.

1040
01:16:38,294 --> 01:16:39,527
Uh, nice suit.

1041
01:16:54,343 --> 01:16:57,311
So are you gonna come
in and watch the show?

1042
01:16:58,214 --> 01:16:59,647
Uh, yeah.

1043
01:16:59,649 --> 01:17:02,316
I'm pretty much done setting
up here, so I'll come in

1044
01:17:02,318 --> 01:17:03,451
once I'm finished.

1045
01:17:04,887 --> 01:17:05,753
Cool.

1046
01:17:08,491 --> 01:17:10,858
Okay, well goodbye.

1047
01:17:10,860 --> 01:17:11,726
Bye.

1048
01:17:19,335 --> 01:17:20,301
It's time.

1049
01:17:26,609 --> 01:17:28,709
I thought this
was for a movie.

1050
01:17:28,711 --> 01:17:30,111
I don't know.

1051
01:17:38,054 --> 01:17:38,853
Hello.

1052
01:17:41,924 --> 01:17:42,790
Hello.

1053
01:17:49,866 --> 01:17:51,865
Hello!

1054
01:17:51,867 --> 01:17:53,867
Wow, I really wasn't
expecting this.

1055
01:17:55,271 --> 01:17:57,071
Thank you all for coming.

1056
01:17:57,073 --> 01:17:59,273
We are lucky tonight to
have Harvey McCoy here

1057
01:17:59,275 --> 01:18:03,277
to read a passage from his
book "The Grand Affliction".

1058
01:18:03,279 --> 01:18:07,248
So without further ado,
I'd like to introduce

1059
01:18:07,250 --> 01:18:08,315
Harvey McCoy.

1060
01:18:27,470 --> 01:18:28,402
Hello everyone.

1061
01:18:29,572 --> 01:18:31,405
I wanna thank you
all for coming.

1062
01:18:32,575 --> 01:18:34,742
I'm very excited
to be here myself.

1063
01:18:36,245 --> 01:18:40,581
15 years ago I wrote a book
called "The Grand Affliction",

1064
01:18:41,818 --> 01:18:43,818
it was written for my daughter,

1065
01:18:45,588 --> 01:18:46,420
Hannah.

1066
01:18:48,357 --> 01:18:51,759
I didn't ever get the
chance to know her

1067
01:18:52,962 --> 01:18:54,495
and that is my regret.

1068
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:58,432
And that is my book.

1069
01:19:01,537 --> 01:19:05,472
I came here to make a grand
apology and I realized

1070
01:19:05,474 --> 01:19:09,343
that that's still just me being

1071
01:19:09,345 --> 01:19:10,377
in grand.

1072
01:19:12,949 --> 01:19:13,881
But I'm not grand.

1073
01:19:15,351 --> 01:19:19,520
There's a writer in this
room right now, though,

1074
01:19:20,790 --> 01:19:24,525
and he's listened to my grand
ramblings for three days now.

1075
01:19:25,394 --> 01:19:27,728
And that, he's listening.

1076
01:19:30,132 --> 01:19:33,767
It taught me more than 50
years of my own bullshit.

1077
01:19:35,972 --> 01:19:40,074
And so, let's all
listen to a short story

1078
01:19:41,143 --> 01:19:42,376
from my good friend

1079
01:19:43,512 --> 01:19:44,378
Greg.

1080
01:20:10,106 --> 01:20:15,242
I actually have something
else that I'd like to read.

1081
01:20:15,244 --> 01:20:16,410
I wrote this last night.

1082
01:20:21,217 --> 01:20:24,451
I've never read this aloud
before, so here it goes.

1083
01:20:26,622 --> 01:20:29,857
This is called, "To
Hell with Harvey".

1084
01:20:31,961 --> 01:20:37,031
Warmth is an accident,
it is a thin atmosphere,

1085
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:41,435
much like on earth
it surrounds us.

1086
01:20:41,437 --> 01:20:45,506
It is a flimsy shroud, invisible
and lighter than a feather.

1087
01:20:47,310 --> 01:20:52,313
It may be our friends,
our family, and our hope.

1088
01:20:53,482 --> 01:20:57,751
Thin and ephemeral,
and it can slip off us

1089
01:20:57,753 --> 01:21:00,487
with a light force
of a cold drought.

1090
01:21:01,657 --> 01:21:06,293
Some of us live without
it, live in the cold

1091
01:21:06,295 --> 01:21:07,161
and we tremble.

1092
01:21:09,165 --> 01:21:14,234
That is me, who I am if
exposed all the time.

1093
01:21:15,438 --> 01:21:18,105
Everything hurts, but I
am convinced that I can

1094
01:21:18,107 --> 01:21:21,842
restore that blanket, that
shroud if I just stand still.

1095
01:21:22,979 --> 01:21:25,346
If I open myself
up to a stranger.

1096
01:21:27,650 --> 01:21:29,350
If I try to be good.

1097
01:21:30,987 --> 01:21:32,386
I doubt that I am good.

1098
01:21:33,622 --> 01:21:36,156
I pray that one day I will
do something that brings

1099
01:21:36,158 --> 01:21:37,024
people to me.

1100
01:21:38,361 --> 01:21:39,193
Warmth,

1101
01:21:40,663 --> 01:21:42,162
that's what will save me.

1102
01:23:02,912 --> 01:23:04,411
What's this?

1103
01:23:04,413 --> 01:23:07,347
Greg, I got a bad
habit of burning bridges,

1104
01:23:07,349 --> 01:23:10,384
but one bridge I did not
burn was my publishers.

1105
01:23:10,386 --> 01:23:13,454
And I gave her your
story, and she loved it.

1106
01:23:13,456 --> 01:23:14,254
She did?

1107
01:23:14,256 --> 01:23:15,689
Oh yeah she did.

1108
01:23:15,691 --> 01:23:18,759
Her phone numbers in there,
so make sure you call her.

1109
01:23:18,761 --> 01:23:20,761
You're a great writer, Greg.

1110
01:23:20,763 --> 01:23:22,362
So are you.

1111
01:23:22,364 --> 01:23:25,265
Nah, I'm just a character
in a novel.

1112
01:23:25,267 --> 01:23:27,801
Yeah, but you
wrote that novel.

1113
01:23:27,803 --> 01:23:29,470
Well buddy, now
it's your turn.

1114
01:23:30,639 --> 01:23:31,972
What are you gonna do?

1115
01:23:33,075 --> 01:23:37,611
I'm gonna live
forever, man.

1116
01:23:37,613 --> 01:23:40,314
Look, there's someone
over there waiting for ya.

1117
01:24:35,493 --> 01:24:36,860
