- Joe, what are you doing?
- 3
- 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,121
- I'm hungry.
- 4
- 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:18,687
- Don't eat sugar. It will keep you awake.
- 5
- 00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:26,644
- If this thing doesn't happen,
- 6
- 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,522
- I don't want to be around
- for the sympathy calls, okay?
- 7
- 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,365
- So what we're gonna do,
- we're gonna get out of here.
- 8
- 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,366
- We're gonna rent a cabin in Maine,
- stare at a fire.
- 9
- 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,850
- That sounds cheerful.
- 10
- 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,841
- - Don't.
- - Mmm? Don't what?
- 11
- 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,130
- Don't pretend you're interested in sex
- just because you're climbing the walls.
- 12
- 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,328
- Come on, just a quickie.
- 13
- 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,562
- - It will help us sleep.
- - I was asleep.
- 14
- 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:18,961
- Well, you shouldn't be.
- It's not natural.
- 15
- 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,524
- Come on. You don't have to do anything.
- Just lie there.
- 16
- 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,410
- Oh, God.
- 17
- 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,768
- - Joe, this is pathetic.
- - Yeah. Pathetic.
- 18
- 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,561
- In the real sense of the word. Pathos...
- 19
- 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:35,046
- Eros.
- 20
- 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,723
- Okay, fine. Go ahead.
- 21
- 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,968
- Just imagine I'm some young,
- 22
- 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,448
- inarticulate stud who's found you
- lying naked on the beach.
- 23
- 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,083
- His big hand is tan,
- 24
- 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,490
- blond knuckle hair,
- 25
- 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,206
- his middle finger gently probing...
- 26
- 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,005
- Now he takes out his huge, swaying
- 27
- 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,326
- tumescent cock.
- 28
- 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,051
- - Oh, God, Joe, enough!

- So it is a piece of shit, huh?
- 147
- 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,401
- Why do you do that?
- 148
- 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,970
- Because you're clearly
- avoiding the subject.
- 149
- 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,044
- No, I'm clearly distracted
- at the moment.

- 165
- 00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,041
- To quote from
- the Meditations of Quixote,
- 166
- 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,042
- "I am I, plus my surroundings,
- 167
- 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,206
- "and if I do not preserve the latter,
- 168
- 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,528
- "I do not preserve myself."
- 169
- 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,246
- -Avv\/v.
- 170
- 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:15,287
- Today, I'm the happiest of men.
- 171
- 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,731
- I have my health,
- give or take a few bypasses.
- 172
- 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,448
- I have you, my wonderful friends,
- my ever-curious students,
- 173
- 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,124
- my son, David,
- my beautiful daughter, Susannah,
- 174
- 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,123
- and a future grandchild,
- 175
- 00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:38,244
- who at this moment is happily floating
- in her mother's amniotic fluid.
- 176
- 00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:44,167
- And finally...
- 177
- 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,281
- Finally, I have my beautiful wife, Joan,
- the love of my life.
- 178
- 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,443
- Joan, come here. The love of my life.
- 179
- 00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,806
- Without this woman,
- 180
- 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,645
- I am nothing.
- 181
- 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,483
- In fact, my greatest achievement is,
- 182
- 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,880
- well, persuading this woman to marry me.
- 183
- 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,891
- - Hal, please, get him to wrap it up.
- - No.
- 184
- 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,486
- -To Joseph Castleman,
- 185
- 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,127
- who, in my opinion, is the greatest
- living author of the 20th century.
- 186
- 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,566
- Joe!
- 187
- 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,290
- - Dad.
- -To Joe!
- 188
- 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,488
- Thank you, everybody.
- 189
- 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,886
- Would you like another biscuit,
- Mr. Castleman?
- 190
- 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,291
- Oh, sure, yeah.
- 191
- 00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:40,761
- Where are you from?
- 192
- 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,922
- - Cambridge.
- - Nice.
- 193
- 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,490
- - Have you been?
- - No.
- 194
- 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,288
- Would you like another biscuit,
- Mrs. Castleman?
- 195
- 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,771
- Thank you, no.
- 196
- 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,445
- - You want a bite of my cookie?
- - No, thank you.
- 197
- 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,091
- - You want another pillow?
- - Got one.
- 198
- 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,801
- You want to take a look at this?
- 199
- 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,800
- I really want to do my crossword.
- 200
- 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,243
- Excuse me, Mr. Castleman.
- 201
- 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,481
- There's a gentleman in the back
- 202
- 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:16,324
- that says he knows you
- and would like to say hello.
- 203
- 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,447
- Nathaniel Bone?
- 204
- 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,522
- - Tell him...
- - Sorry to interrupt.
- 205
- 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,406
- Thank you.
- 206
- 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,926
- I just wanted to say congratulations.
- 207
- 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,371
- - Hello, Nathaniel.
- - Hey.
- 208
- 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,171
- I take it you're not flying to Stockholm
- purely for the pickled herring.
- 209
- 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,084
- No. I wouldn't miss
- your award for anything.
- 210
- 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,128
- It's truly
- an astounding achievement, Joe.
- 211
- 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,804
- It's not about the prize, Nathaniel.
- 212
- 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,486
- It's about getting up the gumption
- to write the next book.
- 213
- 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,485
- Absolutely. Well, that is
- why you are who you are.
- 214
- 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,047
- May I also say congratulations
- to you as well, Joan.
- 215
- 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,088
- I don't think people give
- the spouse enough credit.
- 216
- 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,843
- I give my wife credit.
- I give her plenty of credit.
- 217
- 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,124
- That's not what I meant.
- I meant the rest of the world.
- 218
- 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,168
- The critics, the readers
- and most of all...
- 219
- 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,049
- Nathaniel, I know I'm supposed
- to be impressed
- 220
- 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,691
- that somehow you've wheedled
- your way onto this flight,
- 221
- 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:01,847
- but I'm telling you,
- 222
- 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,242
- I am not giving you permission
- to write my biography.
- 223
- 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,049
- - Now, would you please leave us alone?
- - Absolutely.
- 224
- 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,485
- - You've made that abundantly clear.
- - Fine.
- 225
- 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,681
- - Good.
- - I'm so sorry.
- 226
- 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,807
- - I just wanted to say congratulations.
- - Okay.
- 227
- 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,008
- Thank you for coming by
- and saying hello, Nathaniel.
- 228
- 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,844
- I mean it, sincerely. Thank you.
- 229
- 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,481
- Hey, David, how's the writing going?
- 230
- 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,888
- - Move on, Nathaniel.
- - Go back to sleep. Apologies.
- 231
- 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,206
- - What a schmuck.
- - You were rude.
- 232
- 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,011
- You gotta be rude, otherwise the guy
- won't give up. Jesus Christ.
- 233
- 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,646
- You don't want to make an enemy
- of somebody like that.
- 234
- 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,404
- I mean, there's nothing more dangerous
- than a writer
- 235
- 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,289
- -whose feelings have been hurt.
- 236
- 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,887
- Fuck him if he can't take
- a perfectly-justified rejection.
- 237
- 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,930
- - I was just making an observation.
- - Yeah, well, fine, good.
- 238
- 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,565
- Don't forget to stretch your legs
- like Dr. Krentz says.
- 239
- 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,766
- Yeah.
- 240
- 00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:57,251
- -Mr. Cast/eman,
- welcome to Stockholm.
- 241
- 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,410
- We are so delighted to have you here.
- 242
- 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,244
- - Oh, thank you so much.
- 243
- 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,042
- Please. A moment.
- 244
- 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,486
- All right, darling.
- 245
- 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,321
- - Please, follow me.
- - Of course.
- 246
- 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,204
- Well, that was
- 247
- 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,805
- -quite a journey getting here.
- - Excuse me, Mr Castleman.
- 248
- 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,882
- - It was. Was it...
- - Thank you.
- 249
- 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,126
- - Just one more.
- - Thank you.
- 250
- 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,444
- Mrs. Castleman, I wanna apologize
- for intruding earlier.
- 251
- 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,488
- I certainly didn't wanna be a pest.
- 252
- 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,803
- Well, I apologize
- for my husbands rudeness.
- 253
- 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,290
- No need. I know he's swamped
- by glad-handers all the time.
- 254
- 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,926
- Shall we pretend
- I said something amusing,
- 255
- 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,651
- so it'll look like
- you're enjoying yourself as well?
- 256
- 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,807
- No, thank you. I'm very comfortable
- standing here in my own thoughts.
- 257
- 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,486
- Jeanie, please.
- 258
- 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,371
- - My wife.
- - Yes.
- 259
- 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,327
- Mrs. Castleman. Hello.
- I'm Ar\/id Engdahl.
- 260
- 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,164
- I am the one who called you
- about the prize,
- 261
- 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,686
- waking you up at such an ungodly hour.
- 262
- 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,651
- Not ungodly at all.
- It added 10 years to my husband's life.
- 263
- 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,482
- This is the wife of Joe Castleman.
- 264
- 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,768
- Mr. Castleman,
- may I introduce you to Walter Bark,
- 265
- 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,127
- who will be accompanying you
- on your engagements.
- 266
- 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,843
- Mr. Castleman, it's an honor.
- 267
- 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,161
- We'll be providing you
- with anything you need.
- 268
- 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,449
- Thank you. I can assure you
- I'm very low-maintenance.
- 269
- 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,291
- Only when he's asleep.
- 270
- 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,243
- This is Mrs. Lindel6f,
- who looks after our laureate wives.
- 271
- 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,687
- -Hello.
- - Mrs. Castleman.
- 272
- 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,967
- They'll be keeping your husband
- very busy,
- 273
- 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,601
- so I can arrange for shopping
- and beauty treatments.
- 274
- 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,762
- Thank you. We'll see, but...
- 275
- 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,525
- Mr. Castleman,
- may I introduce to you Linnea Engwall
- 276
- 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,409
- who will be your personal photographer.
- 277
- 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,290
- - From your publishing house.
- - It's an honor, Mr. Castleman.
- 278
- 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,930
- I'm very much admiring of your work.
- 279
- 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,764
- Oh, thank you. You're very kind.
- 280
- 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,926
- And I will be trailing you
- with my camera,
- 281
- 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,844
- but, of course,
- you just pretend I'm not there, okay?
- 282
- 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,323
- This is Mrs. Castleman.
- 283
- 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,847
- - Nice to meet you.
- - David.
- 284
- 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,322
- I'd like you to meet my son, David.
- 285
- 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,563
- Hello, David.
- We are so very glad you could come.
- 286
- 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,322
- We are always pleased to have
- the children of our laureates.
- 287
- 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,450
- In fact, we see you
- as just as engaging as your father.
- 288
- 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,840
- All right. Okay.
- 289
- 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,966
- I can assure you,
- my son is very engaging
- 290
- 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,487
- when he's not in the throes of jet lag.
- 291
- 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,970
- Well, shall we take you
- to your room, then?
- 292
- 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,640
- Yes, thank you. That would be very nice.
- 293
- 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,449
- - Lead on.
- - Thank you.
- 294
- 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,323
- This will be from my lawyer.
- 295
- 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,768
- - Do you have my reading glasses?
- - Yeah.
- 296
- 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,089
- Yeah, he always sends
- the same cheap shit.
- 297
- 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,321
- Here you are.
- 298
- 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,287
- Yeah, that's him. Oh. What a cheapskate.
- 299
- 00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:06,964
- David, do you want this for your room?
- 300
- 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,367
- No, Pop.
- 301
- 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:11,686
- -Chocolates.
- 302
- 00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:15,010
- Oh. That's delicious.
- 303
- 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,161
- David?
- 304
- 00:17:16,360 --> 00:17:17,486
- No.
- 305
- 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,525
- "Enjoy, enjoy. From Sylvia Fry."
- 306
- 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,290
- Who the hell is Sylvia Fry?
- 307
- 00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:30,531
- One of your characters.
- 308
- 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,890
- - Oh.
- - Jesus, Dad.
- 309
- 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,281
- Don't be hard on him, David. He's tired.
- 310
- 00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:37,488
- -My memory's a little shot at, okay?
- 311
- 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,170
- It'll happen to you.
- 312
- 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,009
- Sooner, perhaps, with your smoking.
- 313
- 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,565
- Sure, Pop.
- 314
- 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,526
- -Don't eat all of those.
- You'll get heartburn.
- 315
- 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,249
- Have you seen this library, Joan?
- 316
- 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,845
- They've got all the books.
- 317
- 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,081
- Oh.
- 318
- 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,046
- What's it...
- 319
- 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,971
- They've even got a copy of The Walnut
- in fucking Arabic.
- 320
- 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,081
- - Did you know about this edition?
- - Yeah. It bought our Sub-Zero.
- 321
- 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,162
- -Careful with that.
- Would you be careful?
- 322
- 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,721
- What... Oh, my... What are you doing?
- 323
- 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,042
- - What is the matter with you?
- - I'm gonna go and find my room.
- 324
- 00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:17,849
- All right, darling. Get some rest.
- 325
- 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,642
- - Here, take some fruit with you.
- - Yeah.
- 326
- 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,685
- He's in a mood.
- 327
- 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,042
- Well, let's hope he gets laid
- while he's here.
- 328
- 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,328
- Oh, Joe, don't be so crude.
- 329
- 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,481
- What?
- 330
- 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,882
- Jeanie, is there something bugging you?
- 331
- 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,760
- No.
- 332
- 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,682
- I wasn't attracted to that woman,
- you know.
- 333
- 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,649
- I really could care less.
- 334
- 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,931
- Here, brush your teeth.
- Your breath is bad.
- 335
- 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:46,687
- Really?
- 336
- 00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:50,328
- God. You think they noticed?
- 337
- 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,091
- No, they were too busy being awed.
- 338
- 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,924
- God.
- 339
- 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,007
- All this attention's giving me agita.
- 340
- 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,607
- I don't know. Do you...
- Could you just listen to my heart?
- 341
- 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,368
- - Is it skipping a beat?
- - No, it's not.
- 342
- 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:14,284
- - Oh, God, I'm too old for this.
- - We both are, darling.
- 343
- 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,611
- So what do we do now? We going out?
- 344
- 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,570
- No. We're gonna get some sleep.
- 345
- 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,324
- - Jeanie.
- - What?
- 346
- 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,970
- Can we try to enjoy this?
- 347
- 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:06,727
- -Hello, Miss Archer.
- 348
- 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,450
- Please, come in.
- 349
- 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,171
- Your story.
- 350
- 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,606
- I've read it twice,
- and frankly, both times...
- 351
- 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,409
- I found it to be quite good.
- 352
- 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,449
- Thank you, Professor.
- 353
- 00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:35,249
- Know that you still have
- a long way to go with this piece.
- 354
- 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,926
- Of course.
- I'm more than willing to make fixes.
- 355
- 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,889
- I'm not asking you to fix anything.
- 356
- 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,491
- I'm asking you to go deeper.
- 357
- 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,241
- You write with a lot of intelligence,
- 358
- 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,441
- but you're detached.
- 359
- 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,730
- The characters are supposed to be
- detached, especially the mother.
- 360
- 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,929
- But she wasn't always that way, was she?
- 361
- 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,086
- She was somebody's child once,
- somebody's lover.
- 362
- 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,884
- And she has cravings,
- fears, secret desires.
- 363
- 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,130
- I'm sure she even passes gas.
- 364
- 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,130
- Yes, she does,
- but she blames it on their new maid.
- 365
- 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,204
- That's very good.
- 366
- 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,529
- I see I'm going to have
- to watch out for you.
- 368
- 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,728
- I can be quite a handful, Professor.
- 369
- 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,884
- Don't ever try to put it on.
- 370
- 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,808
- You're charming enough
- just the way you are.
- 371
- 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,484
- I wanted to ask you something.
- 372
- 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,561
- I was wondering whether by any chance
- you would be free on Saturday night.
- 373
- 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,764
- Yeah, I am.
- 374
- 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,402
- Would you be interested in babysitting?
- 375
- 00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:14,522
- My wife and I, we haven't gotten out
- since Fanny was born.
- 376
- 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,527
- Sure. I love babies.
- 377
- 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,281
- -The true writen
- 378
- 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,682
- he does not write to get published.
- 379
- 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,927
- He writes because he has
- something urgent and personal
- 380
- 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,525
- that he needs to say.
- 381
- 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,803
- A writer must write, as he must breathe,
- 382
- 00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:43,724
- and he keeps on doing it,
- 383
- 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,370
- despite the loneliness,
- despite the poverty,
- 384
- 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,608
- despite the piles of rejection letters,
- 385
- 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,808
- despite the parent or the wife
- who call out,
- 386
- 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,042
- "You fool.
- Why don't you get a real job?"
- 387
- 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,124
- A writer writes because if he does not,
- 388
- 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,491
- his soul will starve.
- 389
- 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,044
- "His soul swooned slowly
- 390
- 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,009
- "as he heard the snow falling faintly
- through the universe
- 391
- 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:20,011
- "and faintly falling,
- like the descent of their last end,
- 392
- 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,403
- "upon all the living and the dead."
- 393
- 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,521
- James Joyce. No more needs to be said.
- 394
- 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,603
- -I asked you to heat her bottle.
- -I did.
- 395
- 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:32,721
- -it's ice-cold.
- 396
- 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,006
- -I did it
- when you told me to do it.
- 397
- 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,367
- I'm warning you, it's chaos in here.
- Come in.
- 398
- 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,285
- -Is that the girl?
- - Yes. Her name is Joan.
- 399
- 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,167
- Hello. The baby's up here.
- 400
- 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,721
- Carol, could you get my tie
- for me, please?
- 401
- 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,768
- - It's on the bed.
- - Yeah, I know that.
- 402
- 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,120
- Could you get it for me?
- 403
- 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,280
- Joan, go on up.
- 404
- 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,290
- This is my life, God help me.
- 405
- 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,721
- -Hey, it's okay.
- 406
- 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,124
- It's all right.
- 407
- 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,527
- I'm falling in love with your daddy.
- 408
- 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,001
- -Oh, my God.
- - Good morning, Mr. Castleman.
- 409
- 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,081
- That's...
- 410
- 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,842
- This is Santa Lucia, who has come
- to show her respect for a great writer.
- 411
- 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,570
- Sorry, Santa Lucia?
- 412
- 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,729
- Yes, I believe I informed you
- about this yesterday.
- 413
- 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,406
- Well, you probably did. I don't...
- 414
- 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,363
- That looks wonderful. Thank you.
- 415
- 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:28,920
- Excuse me.
- 416
- 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,562
- - Where are you going, honey?
- - I gotta freshen up.
- 417
- 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:32,921
- Oh.
- 418
- 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,920
- I'm so sorry if this was
- any kind of inconvenience.
- 419
- 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,326
- I have to say I'm rather grateful.
- I was in the middle of a nightmare.
- 420
- 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,320
- I was back in Brooklyn
- living with my mother.
- 421
- 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,810
- -And she says, "Joe,
- I have some terrible news."
- 422
- 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,850
- And before she can get it out,
- my tiny Russian grandmother,
- 423
- 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,241
- who's built like a footstool,
- screams at her.
- 424
- 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:07,048
- "Not before dinner.
- You'll ruin his appetite."
- 425
- 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,084
- "You'll ruin his appetite."
- 426
- 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,081
- -Excuse me, I hate to interrupt
- this wonderful exchange,
- 427
- 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,686
- but I'd like to introduce the Castlemans
- 428
- 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,206
- to another one of our laureate families.
- 429
- 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,284
- Okay, good.
- I'll see you later, gentlemen.
- 430
- 00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:28,169
- James Finch is getting our prize
- in physics.
- 431
- 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,089
- He's a brilliant man and nice as can be.
- 432
- 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,321
- Good.
- 433
- 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,407
- James Finch, may I introduce you
- to the novelist Joseph Castleman?
- 434
- 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,403
- - A pleasure to meet you, Joseph.
- - And you.
- 435
- 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,926
- I wish I could say
- that I'd read all your books.
- 436
- 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,005
- Well, I wish I could say
- that I understood all your formulas.
- 437
- 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,007
- I've read your books and, I promise you,
- 438
- 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,651
- they're a far better read
- than James' scribblings.
- 439
- 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,246
- -My wife, Constance,
- is a scientist as well.
- 440
- 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,891
- As you can see,
- she's quite critical of my work.
- 441
- 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,445
- Well, my wife doesn't write, thank God,
- 442
- 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,126
- otherwise I'd suffer
- permanent writer's block.
- 443
- 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,048
- Hello. I'm Joan.
- 444
- 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:06,727
- Hello.
- 445
- 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,650
- -Joan is the love of my life.
- 446
- 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,206
- -Let me introduce my children.
- This is Ellen.
- 447
- 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,931
- I'm counting on her
- to find the cure to Alzheimer's
- 448
- 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,525
- just in time for my own dementia.
- 449
- 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,210
- My son, David, is a Writer.
- 450
- 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,564
- He's developing quite a voice.
- 451
- 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,770
- Ah. Well, Sam is working
- in conductive polymers.
- 452
- 00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:29,966
- Peter is interested in prime factors.
- 453
- 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,521
- And Chester, well,
- 454
- 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,286
- he's trying to disprove
- the string theory.
- 455
- 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,404
- It's a bit out of his league,
- but we indulge him.
- 456
- 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,926
- -I'm so sorry, Mr. Castleman.
- I have to steal you away.
- 457
- 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,128
- We have to go to your lecture.
- Follow me, please.
- 458
- 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,526
- Thank you.
- 459
- 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,805
- Well, I'll...
- 460
- 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:51,811
- Good to meet you, James.
- 461
- 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,962
- - Wonderful to meet you, Joseph.
- - Yes, and you, of course.
- 462
- 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,849
- - A pleasure, Jean.
- - Joan.
- 463
- 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,163
- - My apologies.
- - No matter.
- 464
- 00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,810
- -So the main problem
- that we're having
- 465
- 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,282
- with the hydrothermal liquefaction
- is the high mineral content of the...
- 466
- 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:09,931
- - Hi.
- - Hi.
- 467
- 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,006
- - How are you?
- - I'm fine.
- 468
- 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,490
- - And you?
- - No, I'm very good.
- 469
- 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,609
- - Can I take a picture?
- - Of course.
- 470
- 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,041
- Catch you later.
- 471
- 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,848
- -And, David, will you do me a favor?
- 472
- 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,447
- Next time I introduce you,
- try a little eye contact.
- 473
- 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,567
- Sure.
- 474
- 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,761
- And next time, don't refer to me
- as your son, the half-baked writer.
- 475
- 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,650
- - What are you talking about?
- -"He's developing his voioe"?
- 476
- 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,730
- What is that supposed to mean?
- 477
- 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,847
- It's a fact.
- You are developing your voice.
- 478
- 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,326
- And it takes a little time,
- just as it took me time to develop mine.
- 479
- 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,846
- No, it didn't. You had a hit novel
- right out of the gate.
- 480
- 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,204
- I grew up hard, my friend.
- 481
- 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,402
- You live a little,
- let's see what you come up with.
- 482
- 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,922
- - You're not smoking in here.
- - I can open the window.
- 483
- 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,207
- Forget it.
- It's zero fucking degrees out there.
- 484
- 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,520
- You shouldn't be smoking anyway.
- 485
- 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,967
- Yeah? And you shouldn't be
- stuffing your face with animal fat.
- 486
- 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,286
- What the fuck is the matter with you?
- 487
- 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,567
- Stop it now. Stop it, both of you.
- 488
- 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,210
- Are you pissed because
- we haven't discussed your story?
- 489
- 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,520
- Is that what's bugging you?
- 490
- 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,489
- I don't need to discuss something
- that you have been avoiding
- 491
- 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,369
- like some steaming pile of shit
- 492
- 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,488
- -that I deposited on the desk.
- - Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- 493
- 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,762
- I have read your story, okay?
- 494
- 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,522
- And my opinion is it's a solid start.
- 495
- 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,490
- But that's not
- what you wanna hear, is it?
- 496
- 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,211
- No, you wanna hear
- it's a breathtaking work of genius.
- 497
- 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,971
- That's not what I wanna hear.
- Jesus fucking Christ, Dad.
- 498
- 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,565
- - Stop it.
- - Don't...
- 499
- 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,210
- - Stop it.
- - Such a prick.
- 500
- 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,402
- David, would you like to spend
- the rest of the day on your own?
- 501
- 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,170
- He's going to miss my lecture.
- 502
- 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,281
- - David, would you like that?
- - Yeah, I would.
- 503
- 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,330
- What are you going to do with yourself?
- 504
- 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,531
- It's Stockholm.
- It's a major European city.
- 505
- 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:09,681
- Yeah.
- 506
- 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,611
- Shall I let you off here?
- Hmm? On the street?
- 507
- 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,251
- Would that do you?
- 508
- 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,051
- Gustav, would you pull over, please?
- 509
- 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,201
- -Okay, sir.
- 510
- 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,884
- I'm gonna give you some money.
- 511
- 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,363
- - Do you know the way back to the hotel?
- - Yeah.
- 512
- 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,169
- You check in with us
- when you get back, okay?
- 513
- 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,362
- Yeah, sure. Thanks, Mom.
- 514
- 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,286
- Jesus.
- 515
- 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,727
- - It's not easy being your son, Joe.
- - Oh, come on.
- 516
- 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,963
- It's not easy being anyone's son.
- 517
- 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,849
- You could act a little prouder of him.
- 518
- 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,929
- Or he could work a little harder.
- 519
- 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,324
- We wouldn't be doing the kid
- any favor telling him he's brilliant.
- 520
- 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,961
- - I think he has talent.
- - Yeah, well, you should tell him.
- 521
- 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,242
- It doesn't mean anything coming from me.
- 522
- 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,164
- He has to hear it from you.
- 523
- 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,801
- He shouldn't need my approval to write.
- 524
- 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,842
- Everyone needs approval, Joe.
- 525
- 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,961
- Yeah.
- 526
- 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,009
- These shoes are killing me.
- 527
- 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,126
- Here, come here.
- 528
- 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,368
- Come here. Give me.
- 529
- 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,691
- Joe, please don't thank me
- in your speech.
- 530
- 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,886
- What?
- 531
- 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,568
- I don't want to be thought of
- as the long-suffering wife.
- 532
- 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,562
- - You understand that, don't you?
- - No. I have to thank you.
- 533
- 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,883
- Everyone thanks their wife.
- 534
- 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,930
- If I don't, I'll come off
- like some narcissistic bastard.
- 535
- 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,207
- - Well, you are.
- - Oh, God.
- 536
- 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,811
- No, it'll be quick, Jeanie.
- 537
- 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,242
- You know, one sentence.
- It'll be painless.
- 538
- 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,927
- - Come on.
- - No.
- 539
- 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,241
- You okay?
- 540
- 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,243
- Do what you need to do.
- 541
- 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,567
- -The Faculty Wife.
- 542
- 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:18,491
- You've shed quite an interesting light
- on Mrs. Castleman.
- 543
- 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,047
- No, it's not about your wife at all.
- It's just a character study.
- 544
- 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,964
- Miss Archer, I've already told you
- that your work is good.
- 545
- 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,649
- But I'm not sure
- I got it through to you.
- 546
- 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,603
- -This is from my novel,
- Sleeping Dogs.
- 547
- 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,964
- I know most of you haven't read it
- 548
- 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,520
- because it's only sold
- 1,000 copies.
- 549
- 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,369
- Most of which were bought
- by my relatives,
- 550
- 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,171
- who were paid handsomely by me.
- 551
- 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,804
- So, here we go. Chapter one...
- 552
- 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,411
- - No, thank you.
- -Could I introduce you to...
- 553
- 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,682
- - They're so green.
- - We've been through this before...
- 554
- 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,850
- Elaine, let me introduce you
- to Miss Archer,
- 555
- 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,890
- the promising young writer
- I told you about. One second.
- 556
- 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,850
- Excuse me. Joan, please. Excuse us.
- 557
- 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,810
- Joan, this is Elaine Mozell.
- 558
- 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,285
- Hello. Hi.
- 559
- 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,081
- Your prose is brilliant.
- It's clean and vivid and bold.
- 560
- 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,969
- Thank you, but you know what?
- 561
- 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,806
- The public can't stomach
- bold prose from a woman.
- 562
- 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,610
- You're talented, I hear.
- 563
- 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:43,806
- Oh.
- 564
- 00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:48,086
- Thank you.
- Yeah, I love to write. it's my life.
- 565
- 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,404
- Don't do it.
- 566
- 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,321
- Excuse me?
- 567
- 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,691
- You wanna know
- where your books will end up?
- 568
- 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,681
- Right there. On the alumni shelf.
- 569
- 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:06,761
- Go ahead, open it up.
- 570
- 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,762
- You hear that? That's the sound
- of a book that's never been opened.
- 571
- 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,809
- Don't ever think
- that you can get their attention.
- 572
- 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,291
- - Whose?
- - The men.
- 573
- 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,807
- Who write the reviews.
- Who run the publishing houses.
- 574
- 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,803
- Who edit the magazines.
- 575
- 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,209
- The ones who decide
- who gets to be taken seriously,
- 576
- 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,886
- who gets to be put up on a pedestal
- for the rest of their lives.
- 577
- 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,530
- A writer has to write.
- 578
- 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,728
- A writer has to be read, honey.
- 579
- 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,166
- Has anyone got a light?
- 580
- 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:55,841
- Joe?
- 581
- 00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,206
- Joe?
- 582
- 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,401
- Joe?
- 583
- 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,081
- Joe?
- 584
- 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,530
- You wanna join me?
- 585
- 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,606
- Mmm...
- 586
- 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,401
- No. I should go home.
- 587
- 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,766
- Okay.
- 588
- 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,285
- Go to bed.
- 589
- 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,490
- Is it still snowing out there?
- 590
- 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,961
- Mmm-hmm.
- 591
- 00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:44,528
- Then let me send you out with this.
- 592
- 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,210
- "His soul swooned slowly
- 593
- 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,205
- "as he heard the snow falling faintly
- through the universe
- 594
- 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,610
- "and faintly falling,
- 595
- 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,207
- "like the descent of their last end,
- 596
- 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,441
- "upon all the living and the dead."
- 597
- 00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:07,480
- That's beautiful.
- 598
- 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:09,964
- Did you write it?
- 599
- 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,644
- No.
- 600
- 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,645
- Well, time to go.
- 601
- 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,291
- It's late.
- 602
- 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,927
- - Good night.
- - Good night.
- 603
- 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,611
- I know. I know what you're gonna say.
- 604
- 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,044
- I'm killing myself eating all this fat.
- 605
- 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:39,761
- You will.
- 606
- 00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,610
- What are we doing?
- 607
- 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,606
- Listen, why don't we
- knock this whole thing on the head?
- 608
- 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,929
- Go and hole up in a cabin in a fjord.
- Drink ourselves silly.
- 609
- 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,963
- Howl at the northern lights.
- 610
- 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:16,681
- Hmm?
- 611
- 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:19,727
- If only.
- 612
- 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,761
- -Come in.
- 613
- 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,211
- Mr. Castleman will have his lunch
- in here.
- 614
- 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,087
- - Joe, you've gotta get up.
- - Yeah.
- 615
- 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,924
- They're picking you up in 40 minutes.
- 616
- 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,082
- Oh, Jesus. Okay, I'm coming.
- 617
- 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,685
- Your lunch is here.
- 618
- 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,000
- Uh-huh.
- 619
- 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,847
- Here are your spare glasses.
- 620
- 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,160
- Mmm-hmm.
- 621
- 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,162
- And here are your pills.
- 622
- 00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:21,730
- You're not coming with me?
- 623
- 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,280
- No, I'd like to spend some time
- by myself.
- 624
- 00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:26,480
- What are you gonna do?
- 625
- 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,723
- I don't know.
- Maybe go on a tour of the city.
- 626
- 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,921
- What, some lousy tour bus?
- 627
- 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,967
- Joe, I'll be in a much better mood
- if you let me go.
- 628
- 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,324
- I thought this was something
- we should be doing together.
- 629
- 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:42,726
- Take one of these at 3:00.
- 630
- 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,603
- And I've set your watch.
- 631
- 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,926
- - Mrs. Castleman.
- - Nathaniel.
- 632
- 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,091
- I'm not stalking you, I promise.
- 633
- 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,889
- But I do have something for you.
- I was gonna leave it at the desk.
- 634
- 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,084
- Just a little something
- I picked up at a bookstore at Smith
- 635
- 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,242
- when I was doing some research on Joe.
- 636
- 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,205
- - Northrop House.
- - Hmm.
- 637
- 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,205
- That was my dorm.
- 638
- 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:20,881
- I know.
- 639
- 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,371
- It's quite a bit before your time,
- 640
- 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,482
- but I thought
- you'd get a kick out of it.
- 641
- 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,370
- Thank you, Nathaniel.
- This is very thoughtful of you.
- 642
- 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,570
- You've always been so kind to me
- in my aborted attempts at wooing Joe.
- 643
- 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,802
- I'd love to buy you a drink, if I may.
- 644
- 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,326
- There's a lovely bar close by,
- very 19th century.
- 645
- 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,721
- You can imagine Strindberg
- getting hammered in there.
- 646
- 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,242
- I don't know
- how appropriate that would be.
- 647
- 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,569
- Well, it's completely inappropriate.
- 648
- 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,130
- But here we are in Sweden,
- it's the dead of winter.
- 649
- 00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:51,041
- I don't think either one of us
- wanna be completely alone
- 650
- 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,044
- in our own brooding thoughts
- right now, do we?
- 651
- 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,650
- - Nice.
- - Mmm.
- 652
- 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,600
- I do actually have a confession.
- 653
- 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,884
- I have gotten an offer
- to write a book about Joe.
- 654
- 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:14,771
- I wanted to tell you so you don't think
- I'm doing anything behind his back.
- 655
- 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,164
- And is this going to be
- a scholarly work?
- 656
- 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:20,926
- Mmm...
- 657
- 00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:25,165
- Yes and no.
- 658
- 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,731
- Meaning what?
- 659
- 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,971
- You may as well know
- that I am aware of Joe's various...
- 660
- 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,050
- Indiscretions.
- 661
- 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,763
- Well, I'm sure you are.
- 662
- 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,085
- I can imagine it's veryjuicy material
- for a biographer.
- 663
- 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,443
- You would think so, but,
- to be honest, it's a tad predictable.
- 664
- 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,804
- Most of your men of genius
- tend to have overactive libidos,
- 665
- 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,004
- and thanks to Worshipful tomes
- put out by us biographers,
- 666
- 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,091
- we're all supposed to find it
- charming and forgivable.
- 667
- 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,285
- I don't, actually.
- I find that behavior rather appalling.
- 668
- 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,084
- Well, please don't paint me as a victim.
- 669
- 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,806
- I am much more interesting than that.
- 670
- 00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:25,801
- I know you are.
- 671
- 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,564
- Look, I don't wanna make the wrong
- assumptions about your relationship.
- 672
- 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:38,085
- Now we have an opportunity
- to set the record straight.
- 674
- 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,488
- You are so transparent, Nathaniel.
- 675
- 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,531
- I can't believe I let you lure me here.
- 676
- 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,842
- Of course, you have
- the opportunity to leave,
- 677
- 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,642
- spend the rest of the day in some
- draughty museum of obscure Nordic art.
- 678
- 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,804
- Or we can enjoy these excellent drinks.
- 679
- 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,081
- Morning, Joseph.
- 680
- 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,969
- Professor Chen Ling, chemistry.
- 681
- 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,041
- Hello.
- 682
- 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,805
- - Dr. Karl Seigler, medicine.
- - How do you do?
- 683
- 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,850
- - And Sir Randall Meade, economics.
- - Pleasure.
- 684
- 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,604
- For me, too.
- 685
- 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,047
- I'll turn you over now briefly
- to Mr. Lagerfelt,
- 686
- 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,851
- who will just run you through
- the protocol for tomorrow.
- 687
- 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,322
- Gentlemen, you will take your seats
- 688
- 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,246
- indicated for now
- by these signs with your names.
- 689
- 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,086
- When it is time
- for you to receive your medal,
- 690
- 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,925
- you will walk from your seat to here.
- 691
- 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,684
- And you will receive your medal
- from the king.
- 692
- 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,808
- And then you shall bow,
- making the three reverences.
- 693
- 00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:57,761
- Like so.
- 694
- 00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,484
- We will start with you, Mr. Castleman.
- 695
- 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:02,561
- Oh.
- 696
- 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:04,921
- Okay.
- 697
- 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,161
- Uh...
- 698
- 00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:10,163
- Sorry. I bow first?
- 699
- 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,520
- You approach the king and then you bow.
- 700
- 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,327
- - I'm sorry.
- - No need to apologize.
- 701
- 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,050
- That is why we are practicing.
- 702
- 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,930
- - It's not rocket science, Castleman.
- 703
- 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,244
- No, of course.
- 704
- 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,088
- And now the three reverences.
- 705
- 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:49,970
- Walter, could I have a moment?
- 706
- 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,320
- Are you all right, Mr. Castleman?
- 707
- 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,289
- I'm fine.
- I just need to take a little break.
- 708
- 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,886
- - Do you need anything? Water or...
- - No.
- 709
- 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,247
- - Just tell us.
- - No, please, I'm fine.
- 710
- 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,288
- - Just for a moment.
- - Okay.
- 711
- 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:01,771
- We'll walk you out.
- 712
- 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,810
- I come to you unarmed.
- 713
- 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:10,881
- Oh.
- 714
- 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,522
- I could tell
- that all that clicking in your face
- 715
- 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:17,806
- was getting on your nerves.
- 716
- 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,451
- You're doing your job.
- 717
- 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,522
- Well, the good news is they told me,
- 718
- 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,967
- if you wish,
- they will release you for the day.
- 719
- 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,528
- I wish that.
- 720
- 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:33,008
- Which of these doors do you think
- offers the quickest escape?
- 721
- 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,243
- Shall we try them and see?
- 722
- 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,369
- So, I would guess
- Joe made you give it up.
- 723
- 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,886
- - Yes, he wants to keep me healthy.
- 724
- 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:49,486
- Mmm...
- 725
- 00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:57,084
- All right,
- here's my next fascinating query.
- 726
- 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,161
- Mmm-hmm.
- 727
- 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,209
- What does the Nobel Prize mean
- to Joseph Castleman?
- 728
- 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,402
- - Oh, God.
- - Yeah.
- 729
- 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,324
- That's not mine. it's not mine.
- 730
- 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:07,765
- - It's from the publisher.
- - Oh.
- 731
- 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,608
- Why don't I just use
- what he said to me on the plane?
- 732
- 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:12,929
- "it's not about the prize.
- 733
- 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,886
- "It's about getting up the gumption
- to write the next book."
- 734
- 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,765
- Perfect. Thank you.
- 735
- 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,921
- And what about you?
- How do you get up the gumption?
- 736
- 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,240
- To get up in the morning?
- 737
- 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,081
- To write.
- 738
- 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,208
- - I'm not a writer.
- - I beg to differ.
- 739
- 00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:30,324
- When I was going through
- the Smith archives,
- 740
- 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,925
- I came across some of your stories
- 741
- 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,729
- that were published
- in the college journal.
- 742
- 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,484
- I read The Faculty Wife.
- 743
- 00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:38,049
- Beautifully written piece.
- 744
- 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:39,600
- Thank you.
- 745
- 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,403
- I had some potential.
- 746
- 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,123
- Ever regret giving it up?
- 747
- 00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:48,287
- No.
- 748
- 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,048
- I had very low expectations
- 749
- 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,050
- about what I could achieve
- as a female writer.
- 750
- 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,203
- There were plenty of successful
- female writers back then.
- 751
- 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,641
- Yes, but I didn't have
- the personality for it.
- 752
- 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:04,481
- Really?
- 753
- 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,041
- I'm quite shy.
- I don't like to be looked at.
- 754
- 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,127
- Okay, I won't look at you, then.
- 755
- 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,922
- So, what about Joe?
- Did he encourage you to keep writing?
- 756
- 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,883
- Yes, but, as I said,
- 757
- 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,487
- - I didn't choose to pursue it.
- - Hmm.
- 758
- 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,290
- Because he was the writer of the family.
- 759
- 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,885
- Nathaniel, if you're trolling
- for nuggets of bitterness,
- 760
- 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,843
- you'll find none here.
- 761
- 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,929
- Shucks.
- 762
- 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,126
- Hmm.
- 763
- 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,442
- - Now, speaking of bitterness...
- 764
- 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,402
- I spoke to his ex, Carol.
- 765
- 00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:57,806
- How is she?
- 766
- 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,123
- - She's good. She's a psychiatrist.
- - Oh.
- 767
- 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:04,809
- - Good for her.
- - Yeah.
- 768
- 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,448
- And their daughter, Fanny?
- 769
- 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,124
- Successful dentist.
- 770
- 00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:13,291
- Rest assured,
- Carol forgives you, by the way.
- 771
- 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:15,161
- Oh.
- 772
- 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:17,685
- - I'm glad.
- - Hmm.
- 773
- 00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:21,811
- Joe tried to keep in Contact
- with them...
- 774
- 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,329
- I actually urged him to,
- 775
- 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,164
- but we feel very badly
- about that chapter in our life.
- 776
- 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,011
- Well, she wants to make sure
- 777
- 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,686
- that you know how thankful she is
- that you took him off her hands.
- 778
- 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,246
- She's very welcome.
- 779
- 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,609
- Joan, I hope you know that
- 780
- 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:53,089
- his affairs have nothing to do with you.
- It's a compulsion.
- 781
- 00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:59,170
- I believe it's a deep-seated fear
- of inadequacy.
- 782
- 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,728
- Aren't you the therapist.
- 783
- 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,440
- Do you have anyone that you confide in?
- 784
- 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,281
- No.
- 785
- 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,209
- And I don't really care to.
- 786
- 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,167
- I guess that's what makes you
- so attractive.
- 787
- 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,129
- You're very mysterious.
- 788
- 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,844
- - Are you flirting with me?
- 789
- 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,368
- Probably. Why not?
- 790
- 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,762
- You know I don't trust you.
- 791
- 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,841
- - Oh, shit.
- 792
- 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,246
- My pills.
- 793
- 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,121
- Pills?
- 794
- 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,089
- Yeah. Blood pressure.
- 795
- 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,123
- I think I should get back to the hotel.
- 796
- 00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,406
- Yeah.
- 797
- 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,923
- Here, hold this.
- Let me give you something.
- 798
- 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,080
- God, where's my pen?
- 799
- 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:09,400
- Here it is.
- 800
- 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,807
- Let's see. "To...
- 801
- 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:16,801
- "Linea..."
- 802
- 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,170
- Is that with an M, or?
- 803
- 00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:20,844
- No, it's two N's.
- 804
- 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,604
- Oh, shit.
- 805
- 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,290
- It doesn't matter.
- 806
- 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,006
- I should go.
- 807
- 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,045
- Will you find your way out?
- 808
- 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,205
- Yeah.
- 809
- 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:41,811
- Fuck it.
- 810
- 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,641
- -I have read
- some of Joe's earlier work.
- 811
- 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,245
- Couple of short stories I came across,
- 812
- 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,971
- some obscure literary journals,
- 813
- 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,647
- and I hate to say it, Joan,
- 814
- 00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:58,605
- but not very good.
- 815
- 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:04,727
- Well, early work is rarely readable.
- I mean, you should know that.
- 816
- 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,647
- Yeah, but these didn't even have
- a hint of his mature voice.
- 817
- 00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:12,770
- In fact, your piece, The Faculty Wife,
- 818
- 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,323
- that reads much more like
- early Castleman than these did.
- 819
- 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:19,686
- That's understandable.
- 820
- 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,451
- Joe had a very heavy hand as a teacher.
- 821
- 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,286
- Fair enough.
- 822
- 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,846
- When I spoke to Carol,
- she said that it was very odd
- 823
- 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,844
- how much better his writing became
- after he met you.
- 825
- 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:40,970
- That's very generous of her.
- 826
- 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,690
- With all respect,
- 827
- 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,206
- I think you are sick and tired
- 828
- 00:51:49,240 --> 00:51:50,480
- of Joe Castleman.
- 829
- 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,689
- I think you're tired of his affairs,
- tired of being invisible,
- 830
- 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:58,004
- tired of channeling your enormous talent
- into creating the Castleman legend.
- 831
- 00:51:58,080 --> 00:51:59,730
- I would think
- for the sake of your family,
- 832
- 00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,043
- for the happiness of your family,
- you would wanna do something like this.
- 833
- 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,691
- David seems like
- a very unhappy young man.
- 834
- 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,731
- You have no business
- talking about my children.
- 835
- 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,170
- You're right. I'm sorry.
- 836
- 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,121
- I do think you want to talk to somebody.
- 837
- 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,244
- I give you my word,
- I will never reveal my source.
- 838
- 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,763
- I will be the bad guy, so you don't
- have to feel like you're betraying Joe.
- 839
- 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:33,971
- Then the truth will be out there.
- You would be free to write on your own.
- 840
- 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,281
- What a marvelous story, Nathaniel.
- 841
- 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,049
- You really ought to write fiction.
- 842
- 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,286
- Joan...
- 843
- 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:54,965
- You know Where I'll be.
- 844
- 00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,162
- I really do want you to know that
- I genuinely do enjoy your company.
- 845
- 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,006
- Jeanie?
- 846
- 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,131
- Jeanie, is that you?
- 847
- 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,240
- Yeah.
- 848
- 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,607
- Where have you been?
- I've been worried sick about you.
- 849
- 00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,963
- Why? it's only 4:30.
- 850
- 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,008
- Yeah, but look how dark it is already.
- 851
- 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,931
- Don't do this to me.
- Don't disappear on me like this.
- 852
- 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:42,005
- I didn't disappear.
- I went out for a couple of hours.
- 853
- 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:43,970
- So, what you been doing all day?
- 854
- 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,442
- Well, I walked around,
- went into a couple of stores,
- 855
- 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,445
- looked in a couple of shops.
- How did the rehearsal go?
- 856
- 00:53:50,720 --> 00:53:52,484
- Jeanie, have you been smoking?
- 857
- 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,322
- - I can smell it on you.
- - I went into a cafe,
- 858
- 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,767
- and it was filled with smoke. Ugh.
- 859
- 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,044
- Have you been drinking, too?
- 860
- 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,849
- Yeah, I had a vodka.
- 861
- 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,206
- In the middle of the day?
- 862
- 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,490
- Yes, Joe, in the middle of the day.
- 863
- 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:07,371
- You know, Jeanie,
- you can't be doing this.
- 864
- 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,920
- You can't be showing up at functions
- with alcohol on your breath.
- 865
- 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:14,085
- You are the star of the big show,
- so why would anyone possibly care?
- 866
- 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:15,810
- What the hell has gotten into you?
- 867
- 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,043
- I don't like to be lectured to.
- I'm not a child.
- 868
- 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,327
- Oh. God damn it, Joe.
- 869
- 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:23,401
- - What?
- - Are. ._
- 870
- 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,607
- Are you gonna stop throwing
- your clothes all over the floor?
- 871
- 00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:27,806
- - I am so sick and tired...
- - Here.
- 872
- 00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,245
- -...Of picking up after you.
- - Let me do it.
- 873
- 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,130
- - What's that?
- - I got hungry. I bought some walnuts.
- 874
- 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:33,646
- Let me see it.
- 875
- 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,204
- - It's just a walnut.
- - Can I see it?
- 876
- 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:37,845
- What are you talking about?
- "Can I see it'?"
- 877
- 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,001
- Give it to me.
- 878
- 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:40,725
- - What are you doing?
- - Give it to me.
- 879
- 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,644
- - Don't be ridiculous.
- - Give it to me.
- 880
- 00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:52,202
- So, while I was out
- being a drunken lush,
- 881
- 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,001
- you were seducing the luscious Linnea?
- 882
- 00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:56,161
- Nothing happened.
- 883
- 00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:00,127
- Don't you dare insult my intelligence.
- Don't you dare.
- 884
- 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,610
- Nothing happened.
- 885
- 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,286
- - I put a stop to it.
- - Oh. Bully for you.
- 886
- 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,682
- Yeah, bully for me. And do you know why
- I put a stop to it?
- 887
- 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:12,207
- Because I was worried about you
- on some fucking tour bus,
- 888
- 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,762
- feeling neglected, so I come back here
- so you wouldn't be alone.
- 889
- 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,365
- And what happens?
- I end up waiting for you.
- 890
- 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:18,441
- Oh.
- 891
- 00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:20,529
- Oh, I should have
- let you know I'd be late
- 892
- 00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,648
- so you could finish fucking
- your photographer!
- 893
- 00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:24,449
- I wasn't gonna fuck her!
- 894
- 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,484
- I'm not even attracted
- to the woman, okay?
- 895
- 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,040
- - Look, all I was worried about was you.
- 896
- 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:30,451
- Oh. I'm touched.
- 897
- 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,002
- I'm too old for all this crap.
- 898
- 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:35,967
- I'm done with it.
- 899
- 00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:37,767
- - I'm all yours.
- 900
- 00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:39,446
- Goody for me.
- 901
- 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:41,725
- Yeah, goody for you.
- 902
- 00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,251
- - Hello?
- - Hi, Mom?
- 903
- 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:46,646
- Susannah?
- 904
- 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:48,321
- I had the baby.
- 905
- 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:49,761
- What?
- 906
- 00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:52,446
- Oh, my God.
- 907
- 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,167
- - What?
- - Susannah had the baby.
- 908
- 00:55:55,240 --> 00:55:56,685
- Get on the other line.
- 909
- 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,285
- When, darling? When?
- 910
- 00:55:58,360 --> 00:55:59,725
- A couple of hours ago.
- 911
- 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,685
- Oh, my God.
- 912
- 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:03,927
- Are you okay?
- 913
- 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,362
- - I'm Hne.
- 914
- 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,403
- He's making little mewling sounds.
- 915
- 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,005
- You had a boy?
- 916
- 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,607
- - What are you gonna call him?
- - Max.
- 917
- 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:18,280
- Max.
- 918
- 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:20,845
- Who does he look like?
- 919
- 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,171
- Dad, I know you want me to say
- that he looks like you, but...
- 920
- 00:56:25,720 --> 00:56:27,484
- Put the phone next to his ear.
- I wanna talk to him.
- 921
- 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,609
- Here, take the phone.
- Dad wants to talk to Mex.
- 922
- 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,006
- Is he on?
- 923
- 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:36,770
- Hello, Maxwell.
- 924
- 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:41,604
- It's your Grandpa Joe.
- 925
- 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:49,165
- Hello, darling.
- It's your grandma. Hello. Welcome.
- 926
- 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,088
- He's talking to us. Can you hear?
- 927
- 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,528
- You are the most beautiful little boy
- in the world.
- 928
- 00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,849
- I wish I was holding you in my arms
- right this minute.
- 929
- 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,282
- Dad, Mom, Mark's parents just got here.
- I have to go.
- 930
- 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:11,724
- You give him
- a big kiss from us, huh?
- 931
- 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:13,241
- I Will.
- 932
- 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,409
- Love you, darling. Love you so, so much.
- 933
- 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,528
- - Bye, sweetheart.
- - I love you too, Mom.
- 934
- 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:19,601
- Bye, Dad.
- 935
- 00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:20,841
- - Bye, darling.
- - I love you.
- 936
- 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,321
- - Bye.
- - Bye.
- 937
- 00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:26,921
- Oh, Joan.
- 938
- 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,488
- Life doesn't get much better.
- 939
- 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,645
- Oh, my God.
- 940
- 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,803
- Say what you like about the crap
- we put each other through.
- 941
- 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,010
- We still have a wonderful fucking life.
- 942
- 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,767
- -You're a really
- gifted writer, David.
- 943
- 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:50,486
- But you know that.
- 944
- 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,242
- Thank you, Dad. I appreciate that.
- 945
- 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,687
- I liked your story. Well-constructed.
- 946
- 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:00,121
- But?
- 947
- 00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,725
- Well, there's always a "but"
- with the first draft.
- 948
- 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,290
- Come on. Do you wanna hear this?
- 949
- 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,882
- - Yeah, sure, go on.
- - Okay.
- 950
- 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,043
- Well, I don't completely buy
- what you did with the couple.
- 951
- 00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:21,323
- The blowhard husband, the stoic wife
- with the repressed rage.
- 952
- 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,368
- We've seen it before. it's a cliché.
- 953
- 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,450
- I think you can do better.
- 954
- 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:31,606
- -Jesus.
- 955
- 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:34,611
- -Gkay.
- 956
- 00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,603
- It's all part of the process, David.
- 957
- 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,966
- It's painful. I know that.
- 958
- 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,561
- Writing can be fucking agony.
- 959
- 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,202
- -Yes, darling, it's dreadful.
- 960
- 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:47,609
- You've suffered enormously.
- 961
- 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:51,720
- Time for bed, huh?
- 962
- 00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,281
- - I'm gonna take your mother upstairs.
- - Sure.
- 963
- 00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,451
- You enjoy yourself.
- Don't stay up too late.
- 964
- 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:05,406
- Night, darling.
- 965
- 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,283
- Call your sister.
- She'd love to hear from you.
- 966
- 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,001
- Um...
- 967
- 00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,206
- Cigarette?
- 968
- 00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:44,601
- -Sorry. We don't sell
- any cigarettes here.
- 969
- 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:46,121
- All right.
- 970
- 00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:47,800
- You can have one of mine.
- 971
- 00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,284
- - Oh. Hey.
- - Hey.
- 972
- 00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:51,691
- Thanks.
- 973
- 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:05,641
- I've been watching them.
- 974
- 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,443
- The girl likes to chew her hair,
- 975
- 01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:12,047
- and the guy has got
- some sort of weird twitch.
- 976
- 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,931
- - Yeah. They're pretty screwed up.
- - Hmm.
- 977
- 01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:17,725
- Well, aren't we all?
- 978
- 01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,521
- You know, my dad was a teacher at Yale.
- 979
- 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:25,400
- He used to make me recite
- the Iliad at dinner,
- 980
- 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:27,241
- in Greek.
- 981
- 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,366
- Wow. That's fucked up.
- 982
- 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,365
- You haven't heard the half of it.
- 983
- 01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,448
- And the really, really
- fucked-up thing is,
- 984
- 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:35,885
- he didn't understand a word of it.
- 985
- 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:42,964
- What are we drinking, David?
- 986
- 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:51,169
- Do I stil/ Hgure in your life?
- 987
- 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:58,401
- Do I stil/ Hgure in your life?
- 988
- 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,123
- I have a Writer who I think
- is the next Henry Miller.
- 989
- 01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:28,242
- He's a hopeless drunk and will probably
- self-destruct in a few years,
- 990
- 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,561
- so I suggest we grab him now.
- 991
- 01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,051
- -All right, I'll give it a read.
- 992
- 01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:33,201
- Honey, top me off, will you?
- 993
- 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,567
- I've a novel here by a lady writer.
- 994
- 01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,610
- It's about an American family,
- spans three generations.
- 995
- 01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,206
- It's great writing, kind of brilliant.
- 996
- 01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,408
- - But I thought it was a little soft.
- -Soft?
- 997
- 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:45,969
- Well, it comes from the point of view
- of this woman.
- 998
- 01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:47,565
- I don't know. It just didn't grab me.
- 999
- 01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:49,011
- - Is she good-looking?
- - So-so.
- 1000
- 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:53,005
- How about Jewish writers? Anyone have
- any smart, young Jewish writers?
- 1001
- 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,970
- All the big houses have one.
- Where the hell is ours?
- 1002
- 01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:58,809
- - Mr. Bower.
- - Huh.
- 1003
- 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,731
- I think I may have
- what you're looking for.
- 1004
- 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,211
- So, I walked to Harlem and back,
- I had five espressos,
- 1005
- 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,170
- and I made my way through
- a pack and a half of cigarettes.
- 1006
- 01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,729
- You asked me to be honest.
- 1007
- 01:02:58,600 --> 01:02:59,965
- So, talk.
- 1008
- 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,249
- I'm so sorry, Joe,
- but it just doesn't work for me.
- 1009
- 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:07,881
- What do you mean?
- 1010
- 01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,043
- Somehow it never comes alive.
- 1011
- 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:15,242
- The subject is too close to you.
- I should get a more objective opinion.
- 1012
- 01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,768
- Your characters are wooden, Joe.
- 1013
- 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,846
- No offense,
- but you didn't make them real.
- 1014
- 01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,605
- That doesn't mean anything.
- Get specific.
- 1015
- 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:30,406
- Well, for one thing,
- 1016
- 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,444
- your dialogue is stilted.
- 1017
- 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,161
- - Let me see if I can get an example.
- - Fuck this.
- 1018
- 01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,244
- What the fuck?
- Okay, this is not gonna work.
- 1019
- 01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,368
- - What isn't?
- - This whole thing. You and me.
- 1020
- 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,249
- This love affair of ours,
- whatever you wanna call it.
- 1021
- 01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,449
- Joe, just because I don't love your
- novel doesn't mean I don't love you.
- 1022
- 01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:48,846
- How could you love me
- 1023
- 01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:50,445
- -if you think I'm a hack?
- - Joe.
- 1024
- 01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,251
- Look, how can I be with someone
- who doesn't respect me?
- 1025
- 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:54,765
- - I do...
- - You have no respect for me.
- 1026
- 01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,049
- I do respect you.
- I respect you in all kinds of ways.
- 1027
- 01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,363
- All kinds of ways. Well, fuck that.
- 1028
- 01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,209
- Tell me you believe in me as a writer.
- 1029
- 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:07,046
- - It's only your first draft, Joe.
- - Screw this, Jeanie. it's over.
- 1030
- 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:08,841
- This relationship's doomed.
- 1031
- 01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:11,526
- What am I supposed to do
- when I'm back in...
- 1032
- 01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,407
- Go back and teach English
- at some second-rate college?
- 1033
- 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:17,925
- Since I obviously blew it
- with the Ivy Leagues
- 1034
- 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:19,246
- by screwing one of my students.
- 1035
- 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,926
- I'm not just one of your students, Joe.
- 1036
- 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,162
- No, you're the girl
- with the golden touch.
- 1037
- 01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:25,765
- You'll go on to be a literary sensation
- 1038
- 01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,326
- while I stay at home grading papers
- and cooking the pot roast.
- 1039
- 01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,529
- I'm not gonna be a literary sensation,
- you bastard, not ever.
- 1040
- 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,082
- No one will ever publish my books,
- 1041
- 01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,208
- and even if they did,
- no one would read them.
- 1042
- 01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,287
- I'm not full of big ideas
- the way you are.
- 1043
- 01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,521
- You're the one
- that has something to say, not me.
- 1044
- 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:47,531
- Please don't leave me.
- 1045
- 01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,331
- If I lose you, my life is over.
- 1046
- 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:53,769
- I'm not going anywhere.
- 1047
- 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:55,808
- I don't wanna live without you.
- 1048
- 01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,122
- I don't wanna live without you either.
- 1049
- 01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,331
- Jeanie, life is so fucking unfair.
- 1050
- 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,403
- Okay. Let's just calm down, all right?
- 1051
- 01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:20,450
- We'll be okay. Let's...
- 1052
- 01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,451
- Okay. Okay.
- 1053
- 01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:40,846
- What are we gonna do?
- 1054
- 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,647
- I don't know. I just...
- 1055
- 01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:48,565
- Let me think.
- 1056
- 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:54,891
- So, you think it's hopeless?
- 1057
- 01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:57,971
- This piece of shit I wrote?
- 1058
- 01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:00,765
- It's not a piece of shit, Joe.
- 1059
- 01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:05,768
- It's a very compelling story.
- 1060
- 01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,368
- All the ideas are there.
- 1061
- 01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,130
- I can see it.
- 1062
- 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:18,650
- I could fix it.
- 1063
- 01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,009
- Do you want me to fix it?
- 1064
- 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:31,041
- Joe?
- 1065
- 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:48,726
- What did he say?
- 1066
- 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:50,841
- He loved it.
- 1067
- 01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:52,410
- - They wanna publish it?
- - Yeah.
- 1068
- 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,124
- - They wanna publish it?
- - Yes!
- 1069
- 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:57,687
- Fuck!
- 1070
- 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:00,171
- What are you doing?
- 1071
- 01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:02,330
- - Come here.
- - Hold on.
- 1072
- 01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,087
- - We're getting published
- - Getting published
- 1073
- 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:10,643
- We 're getting published
- 1074
- 01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:13,326
- Where the hell is he?
- 1075
- 01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:15,369
- - Joe, relax.
- - Huh?
- 1076
- 01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:17,281
- Just relax, all right?
- 1077
- 01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:18,361
- If he doesn't show up,
- 1078
- 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:20,044
- -we're leaving without him.
- 1079
- 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,851
- - You see? There he is.
- - Oh, God.
- 1080
- 01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,807
- - Oh. Hello, darling.
- - Hey, Mom.
- 1081
- 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:30,041
- Look how handsome you are.
- 1082
- 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,481
- You're late. We gotta get going.
- 1083
- 01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,123
- - You got my glasses?
- - Yeah, they're in my purse.
- 1084
- 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,521
- - And the invitations?
- - I don't think we'll need them.
- 1085
- 01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,011
- You never know.
- 1086
- 01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,447
- What the hell is going on with your tie?
- 1087
- 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:42,760
- - Come here.
- - No, I got it.
- 1088
- 01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:44,410
- Let me fix it.
- 1089
- 01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,163
- Keep still, will you?
- 1090
- 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:52,886
- What?
- 1091
- 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,688
- - What?
- - You've been smoking pot.
- 1092
- 01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,201
- - No, I haven't.
- - Yes, you have. I can...
- 1093
- 01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:02,728
- - You reek of it.
- - Joe, calm down.
- 1094
- 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:04,922
- No. Look at him.
- 1095
- 01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,244
- Oh, my God. The kid's completely stoned.
- 1096
- 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,800
- I guess I'm a real embarrassment
- to you, Pop.
- 1097
- 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,565
- - What kind of hostile crap is that? Huh?
- - Joe.
- 1098
- 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,047
- David, what's going on?
- 1099
- 01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:17,401
- I don't know, Mom.
- 1100
- 01:08:17,480 --> 01:08:20,051
- I'm trying to figure out
- if I've been worshiping
- 1101
- 01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,043
- at the wrong parental shrine.
- 1102
- 01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,324
- What the hell are you talking about?
- 1103
- 01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:27,326
- What are you talking about?
- 1104
- 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:29,291
- Oh, my God. The kid's in a mess.
- 1105
- 01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,203
- - What are we gonna do with him?
- - No, I'm not a pronoun, Pop.
- 1106
- 01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,601
- - I'm standing right here.
- - Then talk to me, for Christ's sake!
- 1107
- 01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:36,001
- - Don't shout at him.
- - Yes, I will!
- 1108
- 01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:38,360
- We're late.
- 1109
- 01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:40,040
- We're supposed to be in the limo.
- 1110
- 01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,203
- And already, he's spoiling my night
- with his fucking bullshit.
- 1111
- 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:44,406
- Is it?
- 1112
- 01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:47,288
- - Is it what?
- - Your night.
- 1113
- 01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:53,206
- Because according to your biographer,
- this could all be some brilliant fraud.
- 1114
- 01:08:53,480 --> 01:08:55,130
- What biographer?
- 1115
- 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,362
- That guy on the plane
- with the glasses and the hair.
- 1116
- 01:08:57,440 --> 01:08:59,761
- - Andy Warhol with pigment.
- - Nathaniel Bone?
- 1117
- 01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:02,286
- He's not my fucking biographer.
- What are you talking about?
- 1118
- 01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,203
- - He was in the bar last night.
- -What did he say to you?
- 1119
- 01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:08,285
- He said that I shouldn't measure myself
- against my venerable father's success
- 1120
- 01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,169
- because there is, in fact, a theory
- 1121
- 01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:14,321
- that you, my mother,
- are the real genius of the family.
- 1122
- 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:16,011
- That's ridiculous.
- 1123
- 01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,409
- Why would he make
- such a twisted thing up?
- 1124
- 01:09:19,480 --> 01:09:21,687
- David, he's out to get me
- 1125
- 01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:25,283
- because I won't authorize
- his hack job on my life.
- 1126
- 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,445
- Don't be an idiot, David.
- 1127
- 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:29,611
- - I'm not an idiot.
- - All right.
- 1128
- 01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:31,728
- - Why would you call me that?
- - Okay, calm down.
- 1129
- 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:33,325
- But, of course, if what he said is true,
- 1130
- 01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:36,483
- then I really, really would be
- a fucking idiot, wouldn't I?
- 1131
- 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,167
- David, look,
- I hate to state the obvious,
- 1132
- 01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,049
- but I think the pot
- is making you paranoid.
- 1133
- 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:42,690
- I'm not fucking paranoid.
- 1134
- 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,366
- David, Nathaniel Bone is
- an insidious man.
- 1135
- 01:09:45,480 --> 01:09:48,051
- He had no business saying
- those kinds of things to you.
- 1136
- 01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,089
- He said you had a drink with him, too.
- 1137
- 01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:54,406
- Did you?
- 1138
- 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:55,801
- I did.
- 1139
- 01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:57,446
- He approached me in the lobby.
- 1140
- 01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:59,210
- I thought it would be unwise
- to rebuff him.
- 1141
- 01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,851
- - He said that you confessed.
- - Confessed what?
- 1142
- 01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:06,404
- He said that you ghostwrite Dad's books.
- 1143
- 01:10:06,480 --> 01:10:08,164
- I never said that.
- 1144
- 01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:13,641
- Do you?
- 1145
- 01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,088
- No, David, I do not.
- 1146
- 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,004
- I don't believe you.
- 1147
- 01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:28,762
- Well, darling,
- I can't make you believe me.
- 1148
- 01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,688
- You know, you have to decide
- what you believe yourself.
- 1149
- 01:10:34,440 --> 01:10:36,807
- David, it's all lies.
- It's fucking outrageous.
- 1150
- 01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,571
- Dad, why were you always
- closing the door on me, huh?
- 1151
- 01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,643
- With her inside, when I was young?
- 1152
- 01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:43,245
- What the fuck was she doing in there?
- 1153
- 01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,522
- - What are you talking about?
- - The fucking door to your office!
- 1154
- 01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,491
- It was always being slammed
- in my face with her inside.
- 1155
- 01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,166
- No, your mother
- was proofreading.
- 1156
- 01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:52,731
- - Proofreading?
- - Uh-huh.
- 1157
- 01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:54,530
- I don't fucking believe you!
- 1158
- 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,689
- You asked Mom,
- "Who the hell is Sylvia Fry?"
- 1159
- 01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,561
- You don't even know
- who your own fucking characters are!
- 1160
- 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,444
- -All right, now, that's enough.
- - No, fuck you!
- 1161
- 01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:03,601
- -David, that's...
- - Fuck you!
- 1162
- 01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:05,011
- - David!
- - Fuck you.
- 1163
- 01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:06,525
- - David.
- - You made a slave of my mother.
- 1164
- 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:08,802
- David. Stop it.
- 1165
- 01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:10,240
- - Fuck you.
- - Calm down.
- 1166
- 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:12,488
- Your father doesn't control me.
- 1167
- 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:14,881
- it's all so fucked up.
- 1168
- 01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,321
- - Come on, David. Come on.
- - I'm sorry.
- 1169
- 01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:20,768
- No. Come on. That's okay.
- 1170
- 01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:23,645
- - Mom.
- - It's all right, darling.
- 1171
- 01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,244
- - I know it's not easy for you, son.
- - It's all right.
- 1172
- 01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:30,246
- Get some rest.
- 1173
- 01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,210
- Order up some food.
- 1174
- 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:35,888
- What do you say? Hmm?
- 1175
- 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,208
- Joan, we're not bad people.
- 1176
- 01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:18,800
- This part where you're describing
- her folding his clothes,
- 1177
- 01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:20,560
- that goes on too long.
- 1178
- 01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:22,290
- It's deliberate, Joe.
- 1179
- 01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:26,490
- It's about her boredom
- while she waits for him to show up.
- 1180
- 01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:28,609
- You know, there's a rhythm to it.
- 1181
- 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,648
- It's an endless list of the prosaic.
- 1182
- 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:31,881
- Oh, I see.
- 1183
- 01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:33,485
- - That's good.
- -Mommy!
- 1184
- 01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,404
- - Well, if that is what you're doing...
- 1185
- 01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:37,967
- - I wanna show you something, Mommy.
- - You need to take it further.
- 1186
- 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,128
- - I got it.
- - Mommy, I wanna show you something.
- 1187
- 01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,009
- I'll take care of this.
- I'll be back in a little while, okay?
- 1188
- 01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:43,764
- - Look at me.
- - David, come here, kiddo.
- 1189
- 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:45,606
- Mommy!
- 1190
- 01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,128
- - Let's take him downstairs.
- - Mommy!
- 1191
- 01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:50,524
- - Mommy!
- 1192
- 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,765
- Mommy, I wanna show you something.
- 1193
- 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:55,965
- Mommy!
- 1194
- 01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:08,370
- -You have given us a vast,
- restless and brilliant body of work.
- 1195
- 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:13,321
- With each book, Mr. Castleman,
- you have challenged the novelistic form
- 1196
- 01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:17,320
- and reinvented the very nature
- of storytelling and of prose.
- 1197
- 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,482
- You are a master of style,
- 1198
- 01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:24,927
- yet your characters are intensely real,
- 1199
- 01:13:25,480 --> 01:13:29,485
- theirjourneys heartbreaking,
- their portrayals intimate and deep.
- 1200
- 01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,242
- Dear Mr. Castleman,
- 1201
- 01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:37,964
- the humanity in your writing
- 1202
- 01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:41,010
- transcends the boundaries
- of class and gender.
- 1203
- 01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,927
- You are a master of words,
- 1204
- 01:13:44,440 --> 01:13:46,010
- but, more importantly,
- 1205
- 01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:49,130
- you are a master
- at portraying the human condition
- 1206
- 01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:50,964
- in all its complexities.
- 1207
- 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,571
- Mr. Castleman,
- I would like to convey to you
- 1208
- 01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,803
- the warm congratulations
- of the Swedish Academy
- 1209
- 01:13:58,440 --> 01:14:01,683
- as I now request you to receive
- the Nobel Prize in Literature
- 1210
- 01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:03,683
- from His Majesty, the King.
- 1211
- 01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:16,326
- You brown the brisket in the pot.
- 1212
- 01:15:16,480 --> 01:15:19,211
- You add two cups of water, some ketchup,
- 1213
- 01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:23,288
- some garlic salt
- and finally the secret ingredient,
- 1214
- 01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,369
- a tablespoon of instant coffee.
- 1215
- 01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,451
- This is a typical recipe
- of the American Jewish culture?
- 1216
- 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:34,403
- No, it's atypical reflection
- of how terrible a cook my mother was.
- 1217
- 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:40,167
- Excuse me, Your Majesty.
- If I may lead Mr. Castleman to the dais.
- 1218
- 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:42,971
- -Yes, of course.
- - Yeah. Excuse me.
- 1219
- 01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,090
- - I'll be back.
- - Yes, bravo. Please do.
- 1220
- 01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,561
- Tell me about yourself, Mrs. Castleman.
- 1221
- 01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:54,004
- Do you have an occupation?
- 1222
- 01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:56,411
- I do.
- 1223
- 01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:58,570
- And what is that?
- 1224
- 01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:02,728
- I am a kingmaker.
- 1225
- 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,445
- You know, my wife will tell you
- the same thing.
- 1226
- 01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,644
- Your Majesties, Your Royal Highness,
- 1227
- 01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:20,890
- ladies and gentlemen.
- 1228
- 01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:25,324
- It is a great honor to introduce
- the Nobel Prize winner in Literature,
- 1229
- 01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:27,721
- Mr. Joseph Castleman.
- 1230
- 01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:43,321
- I'm deeply grateful for the honor
- you have given me.
- 1231
- 01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,241
- But really this honor should go...
- 1232
- 01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,086
- Really this honor should go
- to someone else.
- 1233
- 01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:02,370
- My wife, Joan.
- 1234
- 01:17:07,480 --> 01:17:10,848
- Joan truly is my better half.
- 1235
- 01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,564
- She's made it possible for me to find
- 1236
- 01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:16,285
- the stillness,
- 1237
- 01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:18,370
- as well as the noise,
- 1238
- 01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,891
- to create my body of work.
- 1239
- 01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:25,684
- Without her, I certainly wouldn't be
- standing up here tonight.
- 1240
- 01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:28,485
- I'd be at home,
- 1241
- 01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,088
- staring at a blank piece of paper,
- 1242
- 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,565
- my mouth open in stupefaction.
- 1243
- 01:17:42,480 --> 01:17:44,562
- My wife is my sanity,
- 1244
- 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:48,451
- my conscience,
- 1245
- 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:54,966
- and the inspiration
- for every decent impulse
- 1246
- 01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:57,010
- I have ever had.
- 1247
- 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,764
- Joan, you are my muse,
- 1248
- 01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:03,971
- my love,
- 1249
- 01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:07,051
- my soul.
- 1250
- 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:12,642
- And I share this honor with you.
- 1251
- 01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:57,560
- Darling.
- 1252
- 01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:02,570
- - What are you doing?
- - I'm leaving.
- 1253
- 01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,207
- - What are you talking about?
- - No, it's okay. You can stay.
- 1254
- 01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,089
- - I just have to leave.
- - Excuse me.
- 1255
- 01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:09,521
- Joan.
- 1256
- 01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:11,969
- Joan, listen. I want to talk to you...
- 1257
- 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:13,770
- Oh, God.
- 1258
- 01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:15,406
- - No, it's okay.
- - I'm so sorry.
- 1259
- 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:16,806
- It's all right.
- 1260
- 01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:19,605
- - Come, my dear, come.
- - Joan.
- 1261
- 01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:20,966
- I will take you to the powder room.
- 1262
- 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:22,724
- I would like to go back to the hotel.
- 1263
- 01:19:23,440 --> 01:19:27,570
- If you tell me your dress size, I can
- have a clean gown delivered to you.
- 1264
- 01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:29,563
- No, thank you. I'm done for the night.
- 1265
- 01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:32,451
- Oh, God.
- 1266
- 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:35,370
- - Your award, sir.
- - Thank you.
- 1267
- 01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,644
- Mrs. Castleman, I'm so very, very sorry
- that this happened.
- 1268
- 01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:39,721
- -I'm sorry.
- 1269
- 01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:44,730
- -Gustav, would you turn up
- the heat, please?
- 1270
- 01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:45,841
- -Right away, sir.
- 1271
- 01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,810
- And would you give us some privacy?
- Thank you.
- 1272
- 01:19:49,440 --> 01:19:52,887
- So we'll go to the hotel,
- you'll change, we'll go back,
- 1273
- 01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:54,405
- make a quick appearance,
- 1274
- 01:19:54,480 --> 01:19:56,960
- and then we'll be done
- with this whole fucking thing.
- 1275
- 01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:00,445
- I'm leaving you.
- 1276
- 01:20:01,480 --> 01:20:03,448
- - What are you talking about?
- - I can't do this any more.
- 1277
- 01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:05,443
- Don't be crazy. You're not leaving me.
- 1278
- 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:08,365
- Don't act surprised
- or heartbroken or shocked,
- 1279
- 01:20:08,480 --> 01:20:10,721
- none of which you could possibly be.
- 1280
- 01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,807
- Look, I know you didn't want me
- to acknowledge you in my speech,
- 1281
- 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,531
- but do you think everything
- I said up there was for show?
- 1282
- 01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,204
- I meant every word of it.
- 1283
- 01:20:22,480 --> 01:20:25,086
- - God, give me some credit.
- - What for?
- 1284
- 01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:30,322
- - For loving you.
- - Oh, God, Joe.
- 1285
- 01:20:30,480 --> 01:20:32,369
- - What?
- 1286
- 01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:35,846
- Here.
- 1287
- 01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:38,004
- - Here, take it.
- - I don't want it.
- 1288
- 01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,282
- - It belongs to you.
- - I don't want it. it's yours.
- 1289
- 01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:42,601
- It's all yours.
- It has your fucking name on it!
- 1290
- 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:46,406
- - Fucking take it.
- - I don't want it. I don't want it.
- 1291
- 01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,762
- I don't want the fucking thing!
- 1292
- 01:20:52,440 --> 01:20:53,680
- What are you doing?
- 1293
- 01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:55,731
- What did you just do?
- 1294
- 01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:57,200
- -You have it?
- -I found it.
- 1295
- 01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,408
- Oh, thank God. Thank you.
- 1296
- 01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:23,888
- Jeanie, come, sit down.
- Sit where I can look at you.
- 1297
- 01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:25,405
- Come on. I wanna talk to you.
- 1298
- 01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:28,001
- - Huh? Do you want a drink?
- - No, thanks.
- 1299
- 01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:32,691
- Listen, Jeanie...
- 1300
- 01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,291
- Listen, there is nothing horrible
- 1301
- 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,928
- or shameful or immoral about what we do.
- 1302
- 01:21:42,440 --> 01:21:44,488
- Hmm? We're writing partners.
- 1303
- 01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,650
- We've created
- a beautiful body of work together.
- 1304
- 01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,246
- You edit, Joe. That's all you do.
- 1305
- 01:21:50,440 --> 01:21:53,603
- I'm the one who sits at that desk
- eight hours a day.
- 1306
- 01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,007
- Is that the way you see it? Really?
- 1307
- 01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,931
- All these years you've been sitting
- in some giant stew of resentment?
- 1308
- 01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:07,005
- And what about all the years
- I've been rubbing your back,
- 1309
- 01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:09,601
- bringing you tea, cooking you dinner,
- watching the kids,
- 1310
- 01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,921
- so you could work without distraction?
- 1311
- 01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:18,290
- You don't think
- there were times when it killed me
- 1312
- 01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:20,848
- that you were the one
- with the golden touch?
- 1313
- 01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:22,521
- Hmm?
- 1314
- 01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:27,882
- You think I wake up every morning
- feeling even remotely proud of myself?
- 1315
- 01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:33,049
- But have I ever said
- I'm done with this marriage,
- 1316
- 01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:34,481
- I'm walking away?
- 1317
- 01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,001
- - No, you had affairs.
- - Oh, God.
- 1318
- 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,926
- And I've regretted
- every fucking one of them.
- 1319
- 01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:43,567
- Oh, yeah, right, you'd sob in my lap,
- and you'd beg me to forgive you,
- 1320
- 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,642
- and I always would because, you know,
- 1321
- 01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,883
- somehow you convinced me
- that my talent made you do it.
- 1322
- 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:51,406
- - Oh, shit.
- - And then when I was too angry
- 1323
- 01:22:51,480 --> 01:22:53,721
- or too furious or too hurt to write,
- 1324
- 01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,087
- you would give me
- one of your famous back rubs,
- 1325
- 01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:57,531
- and you'd say, "Use it, Jeanie. Use it."
- 1326
- 01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,090
- - I never said that.
- - Oh, yes, you did.
- 1327
- 01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:00,486
- - I never said that.
- - Yes, you did.
- 1328
- 01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,005
- Lucky for me I had somewhere to put it.
- 1329
- 01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:04,726
- I mean, critics loved the image
- of Sylvia Fry, you know,
- 1330
- 01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,041
- scrubbing the tear stains
- out of her dress.
- 1331
- 01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:09,600
- They just loved that,
- another Castleman masterpiece.
- 1332
- 01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,126
- Your chest just swelled
- when you read me those reviews.
- 1333
- 01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:13,486
- It actually swelled.
- 1334
- 01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:14,686
- And rather than being outraged
- 1335
- 01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,371
- and rather than thinking about
- what this all was doing to our kids,
- 1336
- 01:23:17,440 --> 01:23:18,885
- I would watch you and I'd say,
- 1337
- 01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,964
- "Oh, my God,
- how can I capture that behavior?
- 1338
- 01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:23,644
- "How can I put all that in words?"
- 1339
- 01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,769
- And you know what? I did, right here.
- 1340
- 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,721
- Right here.
- Yeah, another Castleman masterpiece.
- 1341
- 01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:36,282
- Oh, and, uh, let's see. This one I wrote
- after you screwed, who was it?
- 1342
- 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:38,249
- - Yeah, our third nanny.
- - God.
- 1343
- 01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:42,167
- This book had nothing at all to do
- with the fucking nanny.
- 1344
- 01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:44,208
- Oh, yes, it did.
- It's on every single page.
- 1345
- 01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:48,842
- These are my stories,
- my culture, my family, my ideas.
- 1346
- 01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:53,409
- My words, my pain,
- my spending hours alone in that room
- 1347
- 01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:57,161
- turning your appalling behavior
- into literary gold!
- 1348
- 01:23:57,480 --> 01:24:00,324
- What compelling ideas
- did you ever fucking have?
- 1349
- 01:24:00,480 --> 01:24:03,643
- You were nothing but a privileged,
- prissy little co-ed.
- 1350
- 01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:07,681
- The only decent story
- you ever wrote alone was about Carol.
- 1351
- 01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,128
- You stole from my life even then.
- 1352
- 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:14,889
- Shame on you, Joe.
- 1353
- 01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:21,731
- You loved holing up in the Village
- with the big, bad Jew.
- 1354
- 01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:24,122
- You loved making your parents squirm.
- 1355
- 01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:28,245
- You got the literary life
- and the house by the sea. Hmm?
- 1356
- 01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:33,324
- You loved getting the nice clothes
- and the travel and all the privileges
- 1357
- 01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:37,246
- without ever having to marry
- some schmuck from a brokerage firm.
- 1358
- 01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,250
- - You got it all, my girl.
- - Well, you can have it back.
- 1359
- 01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:42,040
- I don't want it.
- 1360
- 01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:44,006
- What are you doing?
- 1361
- 01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:46,569
- I'm going to spend the night
- in David's room,
- 1362
- 01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:49,041
- and then when I get home,
- I'm gonna call e lawyer.
- 1363
- 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,926
- This is ridiculous. Jeanie, we got kids.
- 1364
- 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:53,884
- We got a grandchild.
- 1365
- 01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:56,368
- We've got friends We've known for years
- 1366
- 01:24:56,440 --> 01:24:58,602
- who are gonna start dying on us
- one by one.
- 1367
- 01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:00,170
- Where you gonna be?
- 1368
- 01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,005
- You gonna be living alone feeling brave?
- Is that what you want?
- 1369
- 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,442
- Jeanie, wait for me.
- Don't walk away from me, God damn it!
- 1370
- 01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:06,851
- Don't touch me!
- 1371
- 01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:08,206
- Don't touch you?
- 1372
- 01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,286
- Jeanie, we gotta talk this through.
- 1373
- 01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,126
- I can't do it any more, Joe.
- 1374
- 01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:17,440
- I can't do it. I can't take it.
- 1375
- 01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:19,682
- I can't take the humiliation
- 1376
- 01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,651
- of holding your coat
- and arranging your pills
- 1377
- 01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:24,529
- and picking the crumbs out of your beard
- 1378
- 01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,444
- and being shoved aside
- with all the other wives
- 1379
- 01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:28,568
- to talk about some goddamn shopping trip
- 1380
- 01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:32,725
- while you say
- to all the gathering sycophants
- 1381
- 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,004
- that your wife doesn't write!
- 1382
- 01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:44,925
- Your wife, who just won the Nobel Prize!
- 1383
- 01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:51,327
- So, if I'm such an insensitive
- and talentless fucking piece of shit,
- 1384
- 01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:53,050
- why the fuck did you marry me?
- 1385
- 01:25:53,440 --> 01:25:54,646
- Hmm?
- 1386
- 01:25:56,480 --> 01:25:57,766
- Oh, God, Joe.
- 1387
- 01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:00,847
- No, I really wanna know.
- Why did you marry me?
- 1388
- 01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:05,765
- I don't know.
- 1389
- 01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:09,124
- I can't think any more.
- 1390
- 01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:13,122
- - Jeanie, come here.
- - I just wanna get out of this dress.
- 1391
- 01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:14,930
- Come here.
- 1392
- 01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,002
- Let me... Come here...
- 1393
- 01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:26,808
- - Jeanie.
- - Oh, God.
- 1394
- 01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:30,683
- - What?
- - No.
- 1395
- 01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:32,921
- No.
- 1396
- 01:26:35,480 --> 01:26:37,721
- Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
- 1397
- 01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:55,406
- What the fuck?
- 1398
- 01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:57,521
- Oh...
- 1399
- 01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:07,520
- Oh, God.
- 1400
- 01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:09,481
- What is it?
- 1401
- 01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:12,171
- Oh, my God. Here, lie down.
- 1402
- 01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:13,969
- - I hurt.
- - Okay, shh, lie down.
- 1403
- 01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:15,923
- - Oh, God.
- - Lie back here.
- 1404
- 01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:18,520
- Here.
- 1405
- 01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:22,321
- Okay.
- 1406
- 01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:24,370
- I'm going to make a call.
- 1407
- 01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,123
- Yes, hello,
- we're in the executive suite.
- 1408
- 01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:31,248
- I think my husband is having
- a heart attack.
- 1409
- 01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:35,605
- Please send one. Yes,
- as fast as possible. Thank you.
- 1410
- 01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:39,327
- - All right, darling.
- - Oh, God.
- 1411
- 01:27:39,440 --> 01:27:41,204
- Okay, just remember you have to breathe.
- 1412
- 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,651
- Very slowly. Right out. Okay.
- 1413
- 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:47,528
- All right. Okay.
- 1414
- 01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:49,006
- - All right.
- - I'm okay.
- 1415
- 01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:50,445
- - You're gonna be all right.
- - I'm okay.
- 1416
- 01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:52,329
- Okay.
- 1417
- 01:27:52,480 --> 01:27:55,086
- Oh, Jeanie. Jeanie.
- 1418
- 01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,365
- They're gonna come to us.
- 1419
- 01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,282
- Do you love me? Hmm?
- 1420
- 01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:08,651
- Do you love me?
- 1421
- 01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,528
- Yes, I love you, Joe.
- 1422
- 01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:13,883
- I love you very much.
- 1423
- 01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:15,841
- Oh, God.
- 1424
- 01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:18,564
- You're such a good liar.
- 1425
- 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:21,890
- How will I ever know?
- 1426
- 01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:34,200
- - Joe? Okay, Joe.
- - Oh, God.
- 1427
- 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:37,530
- Stay here, Joe. Stay with me.
- Look at me, Joe. Look at me.
- 1428
- 01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,849
- Stay here. Stay here.
- Hang in there, Joe.
- 1429
- 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:43,042
- Hang in there. Hang in there, Joe.
- 1430
- 01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:47,605
- Don't leave me, Joe. Joe? Joe?
- 1431
- 01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:52,611
- -Mr. Castleman?
- 1432
- 01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:55,325
- Mr. Castleman, can you hear me?
- 1433
- 01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:06,724
- Sorry. You have to move.
- 1434
- 01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:20,242
- Would you like another, Mrs. Castleman?
- 1435
- 01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:21,646
- No, thank you.
- 1436
- 01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:24,929
- I don't know whether you remember me,
- 1437
- 01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,048
- but I served you
- on the flight Corning over.
- 1438
- 01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:30,925
- I remember.
- 1439
- 01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,280
- I'm so very sorry for your loss.
- 1440
- 01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:37,366
- Thank you.
- 1441
- 01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:40,887
- You know,
- I see a lot of couples on my flights,
- 1442
- 01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:43,844
- and you and your husband...
- 1443
- 01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:46,800
- Well, I just wanted to say
- that I could tell
- 1444
- 01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:49,648
- you had a wonderful relationship.
- 1445
- 01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:54,801
- How?
- 1446
- 01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:59,329
- Just something about the way
- you were with each other.
- 1447
- 01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:02,360
- Excuse me.
- 1448
- 01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:11,051
- Nathaniel Bone would like
- to speak with you.
- 1449
- 01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:12,926
- Oh.
- 1450
- 01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:15,649
- Would you like me to tell him
- you're asleep?
- 1451
- 01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:19,162
- No, it's all right.
- 1452
- 01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:34,371
- I don't know what to say.
- 1453
- 01:31:36,440 --> 01:31:37,726
- I'm stunned.
- 1454
- 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,082
- How are you doing?
- 1455
- 01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:43,204
- We're still in shock.
- 1456
- 01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:46,281
- Yeah. I think we all are.
- 1457
- 01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:49,285
- It's a lot to process.
- 1458
- 01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:52,046
- Nathaniel.
- 1459
- 01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:56,127
- Yes?
- 1460
- 01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:00,281
- What we were talking about
- the other day...
- 1461
- 01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:02,041
- Yes?
- 1462
- 01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:08,205
- I want to say
- that what you implied isn't true,
- 1463
- 01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:13,125
- and if you malign Joe's talent
- in any way, I'll take you to court.
- 1464
- 01:32:17,480 --> 01:32:20,404
- Good luck, Nathaniel.
- I'm sure you'll write a fine book.
- 1465
- 01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:41,650
- Did you hear any of that?
- 1466
- 01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:43,407
- Yeah.
- 1467
- 01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:50,122
- When we get home, I'm going to
- sit you and your sister down,
- 1468
- 01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:55,486
- and I'm going to tell you everything.
- 1469
- 01:32:59,920 --> 01:33:01,206
- Okay, Mom.
