I'm hungry-

00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:18,687
Don't eat sugar. It will keep you awake.

00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:26,644
If this thing doesn't happen,
7
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,522
I don't want to be around
for the sympathy calls, okay?
8
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,365
So what we're gonna do,
we're gonna get out of here.
9
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,366
We're gonna rent a cabin in Maine,
stare at a fire.
10
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,850
That sounds cheerful.

- Mmm? Don't what?

Don't pretend you're interested in sex
just because you're climbing the walls.

00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,328
Come on, just a quickie.
16
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,562
- It will help us sleep.
- I was asleep.
17
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:18,961
Well, you shouldn't be.
It's not natural.
18
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,524
Come on. You don't have to do anything.
Just lie there.

Oh, God.
20
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,768
- Joe, this is pathetic.
- Yeah. Pathetic.

00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,561
In the real sense of the word. Pathos...

23
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,723
Okay, fine. Go ahead.

Yes.

from the Nobel Foundation
in Stockholm, Sweden.

not a joke, I take it?

No, Mr. Castleman, I assure you.
42

If you like I will give you
the phone number here,
43

No, that won't be necessary, thank you.

Listen, before you go on,
47
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,603
I'd like my wife
to get on the extension.

00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,650
- Would that be all right?
- Yes, of course, I'll wait.

- Hello, Mrs. Castleman. Is that you?
-‘(es.
52
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,489
Mr. Castleman, are you still on as well?
53
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,005
Yes, I am.
54
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,762
It is my great honor and pleasure
to tell you, Mr. Castleman,
55
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:36,607
that you have been chosen to receive
this year's Nobel Prize in literature.
56
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,450
Thank you.
57
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,567
Thank you very much.
58
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,690
Mr. Castleman, we are so delighted
to be giving you this prize.
59
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,770
Your career has
a truly remarkable span to it.
60
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:49,966
Not only do you write
61
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,247
with extraordinary intimacy,
wit and depth,
62
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,005
you have also challenged
the novelistic form in ways
63
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,004
that will affect generations
of writers to come.
64
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,367
(CHUCKLES) Well, I should be getting
something for all the gray in my beard.
65
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,680
(CHUCKLES) Indeed, yes.
66
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,163
And thank you for doing so
on the world's behalf.
67
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,646
Mrs. Cast/eman.
68
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:11,406
Yes.
69
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,769
You should know that your husband
will be fending off the press today,
70
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:17,810
so what I advise is that
you monitor his calls,
71
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,570
as it does get quite exhausting.
72
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,364
Yes, I'll take good care of him.
73
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:27,481
Mr. Castleman, I'm sure you would like
to make a few calls of your own,
74
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,449
so I shall leave you
to your celebration.
75
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,651
We will contact you later
with all the specifics.
76
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,645
And, again, many congratulations to you.

- Really?

They're giving your husband
the cover of the Sunday Magazine.

They're knocking out a story
about Bill Clinton for him.
104
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,771
Is this going to be like
one of those Avedon shots?

- How do I look?
- You're fine.

- No.

- All good?
- All good.

some great, big, fat joke.

I think it's beautifully written.

- No problem.

- You care?
- Of course I care.
150
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,525
I'd like to see you outlive me.
151
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,046
- So, did you read my piece?
- Yes. We'll talk.
152
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,770
So it is a piece of shit, huh?
153
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,401
Why do you do that?
154
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,970
Because you're clearly
avoiding the subject.
155
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,044
No, I'm clearly distracted
at the moment.
156
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,963
Look, we'll talk
when the time is appropriate.
157
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,489
- Okay?
- Yeah, okay.
158
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,368
Please, go and help your mother.
159
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,330
- DUSTY: No, Joan, let me do this.
- No...

Here, Joanie. Come.

00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,924
There, some champagne. Where's Susannah?
163
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,126
Right there.

SUSANNAH: Dad, I'm right here.
165
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,442
Come. Get yourself a glass.
166
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,081
I'm not drinking.
167
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,960
A glass of champagne will not harm
the baby, believe me.

- Okay? Let's do this.

00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,731
I have my health,

(ALL LAUGHING)
179
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,448
I have you, my wonderful friends,
my ever-curious students,

00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,124
my son, David,
my beautiful daughter, Susannah,

and a future grandchild,

in her mother's amniotic fluid.

(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMS)
184

And (CLEARS THROAT) finally...
185
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,281
Finally, I have my beautiful wife, Joan,
the love of my life.
186
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,443
Joan, come here. The love of my life.
187
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,806
Without this woman,
188
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,645
I am nothing.
189
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,483
In fact, my greatest achievement is,
190
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,880
well, persuading this woman to marry me.
191
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,891
- Hal, please, get him to wrap it up.
- No.

193
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,127
who, in my opinion, is the greatest
living author of the 20th century.
194
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,566
JOe!
195
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,290
- Dad.
- ALL: To Joe!
196
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,488
Thank you, everybody.
197
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,886
Would you like another biscuit,
Mr. Castleman?
198
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,291
Oh, sure, yeah.
199
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:40,761
Where are you from?
200
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,922
- Cambridge.
- Nice.

00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,490
- Have you been?
- No.
202
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,288
Would you like another biscuit,
Mrs. Castleman?
203
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,771
Thank you, no.
204
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,445
- You want a bite of my cookie?
- No, thank you.
205
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,091
- You want another pillow?
- Got one.
206
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,801
You want to take a look at this?
207
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,800
I really want to do my crossword.
208
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,243
Excuse me, Mr. Castleman.
209
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,481
There's a gentleman in the back
210
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:16,324
that says he knows you
and would like to say hello.
211

Nathaniel Bone?
212
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,522
- Tell him...
-(CLEARS THROAT) Sorry to interrupt.
213
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,406
Thank you.
214

I just wanted to say congratulations.

- Hello, Nathaniel.
- Hey.
216
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,171
I take it you're not flying to Stockholm
purely for the pickled herring.
217
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,084
(CHUCKLES) No. I wouldn't miss
your award for anything.
218
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,128
It's truly
an astounding achievement, Joe.
219
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,804
It's not about the prize, Nathaniel.
220
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,486
It's about getting up the gumption
to write the next book.
221
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,485
Absolutely. Well, that is
why you are who you are.
222
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,047
May I also say congratulations
to you as well, Joan.
223
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,088
I don't think people give
the spouse enough credit.
224
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,843
I give my wife credit.
I give her plenty of credit.
225
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,124
That's not what I meant.
I meant the rest of the world.
226
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,168
The critics, the readers
and most of all...
227
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,049
Nathaniel, I know I'm supposed
to be impressed
228
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,691
that somehow you've wheedled
your way onto this flight,
229
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:01,847
but I'm telling you,
230
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,242
I am not giving you permission
to write my biography.
231
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,049
- Now, would you please leave us alone?
- Absolutely.
232
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,485
- You've made that abundantly clear.
- Fine.
233
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,681
- Good.
- I'm so sorry.
234
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,807
- I just wanted to say congratulations.
- Okay.
235
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,008
Thank you for coming by
and saying hello, Nathaniel.
236
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,844

- Move on, Nathaniel.
- Go back to sleep. Apologies.
240
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,206
-(EXCLAIMS) What a schmuck.
- You were rude.

You gotta be rude, otherwise the guy
won't give up. Jesus Christ.
242
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,646
You don't want to make an enemy
of somebody like that.
243
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,404
I mean, there's nothing more dangerous
than a writer

-whose feelings have been hurt.
-(SCOFFS)

a perfectly-justified rejection.

- I was just making an observation.
- Yeah, well, fine, good.

Don't forget to stretch your legs
like Dr. Krentz says.

- Of course.

-quite a journey getting here.
- Excuse me, Mr Castleman.

- It was. Was it...
- Thank you.

- Just one more.
- Thank you.

Mrs. Castleman, I wanna apologize
for intruding earlier.
260
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,488
I certainly didn't wanna be a pest.
261
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,803
Well, I apologize
for my husband's rudeness.
262
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,290
No need. I know he's swamped
by glad-handers all the time.

I said something amusing,

you're enjoying yourself as well?

standing here in my own thoughts.

I wasn't attracted to that woman,

Could you just listen to my heart?

Please, come in.

Your story.
366
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,606
I've read it twice,
and frankly, both times...
367
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,409
I found it to be quite good.
368
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,449
Thank you, Professor.
369
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:35,249
Know that you still have
a long way to go with this piece.
370
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,926
Of course.
I'm more than willing to make fixes.
371
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,889
I'm not asking you to fix anything.
372
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,491
I'm asking you to go deeper.
373
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,241
You write with a lot of intelligence,
374
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,441
but you're detached.
375
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,730
The characters are supposed to be
detached, especially the mother.
376
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,929
But she wasn't always that way, was she?
377
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,086
She was somebody's child once,
somebody's lover.
378
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,884
And she has cravings,
fears, secret desires.
379
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,130
I'm sure she even passes gas.
380
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,130
Yes, she does,
but she blames it on their new maid.

Don't ever try to put it on.
387
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,808
You're charming enough
just the way you are.
388
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,484
I wanted to ask you something.
389
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,561
I was wondering whether by any chance
you would be free on Saturday night.
390
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,764
Yeah, I am.
391
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,402
Would you be interested in babysitting?
392
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:14,522

YOUNG JOE". The true writer,
395
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,682
he does not write to get published.
396
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,927
He writes because he has
something urgent and personal
397
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,525
that he needs to say.
398
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,803
A writer must write, as he must breathe,
399
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:43,724

despite the poverty,

"You fool.
Why don't you get a real job?"
404
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,124
A writer writes because if he does not,
405
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,491
his soul will starve.

You are developing your voice.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
516
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,762
I have read your story, okay?
517
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,522
And my opinion is it's a solid start.
518
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,490
But that's not
what you wanna hear, is it?
519
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,211
No, you wanna hear
it's a breathtaking work of genius.
520
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,971
That's not what I wanna hear.
Jesus fucking Christ, Dad.
521
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,565
- Stop it.
- Don't...
522
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,210
- Stop it.
- Such a prick.
523

David, would you like to spend
the rest of the day on your own?
524
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,170
He's going to miss my lecture.
525

It's Stockholm.
It's a major European city.

00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:09,681
Yeah.
530
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,611
Shall I let you off here?
Hmm? On the street?
531
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,251
Would that do you?
532
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,051
Gustav, would you pull over, please?
533
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,201
GUSTAV". Okay, sir.
534
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,884
I'm gonna give you some money.
535
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,363
- Do you know the way back to the hotel?
- Yeah.
536
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,169
You check in with us
when you get back, okay?
537
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,362
Yeah, sure. Thanks, Mom.
538
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,286
Jesus.
539
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,727
- It's not easy being your son, Joe.
- Oh, come on.
540
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,963
It's not easy being anyone's son.
541
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,849
You could act a little prouder of him.
542
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,929
Or he could work a little harder.
543
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,324
We wouldn't be doing the kid
any favor telling him he's brilliant.
544
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,961
- I think he has talent.
- Yeah, well, you should tell him.
545
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,242
It doesn't mean anything coming from me.
546
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,164
He has to hear it from you.
547
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,801
He shouldn't need my approval to write.
548
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,842
Everyone needs approval, Joe.
549
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,961
Yeah.
550
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,009

Come here. Give me.
553
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,691
Joe, please don't thank me
in your speech.
554
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,886
What?
555
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,568
I don't want to be thought of
as the long-suffering wife.
556
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,562
- You understand that, don't you?
- No. I have to thank you.

If I don't, I'll come off
like some narcissistic bastard.
559
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,207
- Well, you are.
- Oh, God.
560
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,811
No, it'll be quick, Joanie.
561
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,242
You know, one sentence.
It'll be painless.
562

on Mrs. Castleman.

No, it's not about your wife at all.
It's just a character study.

that your work is good.

Elaine, let me introduce you
to Miss Archer,

the promising young writer
I told you about. One second.
582
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,850
Excuse me. Joan, please. Excuse us.
583

Joan, this is Elaine Mozell.
584
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,285
Hello. Hi.
585
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,081
Your prose is brilliant.
It's clean and vivid and bold.
586
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,969
Thank you, but you know what?
587
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,806
The public can't stomach
bold prose from a woman.
588
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,610
You're talented, I hear.
589
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:43,806
Oh.
590
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:48,086
Thank you.
Yeah, I love to write. It's my life.
591
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,404
Don't do it.
592
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,321
Excuse me?
593
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,691
You wanna know
where your books will end up?
594
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,681
Right there. On the alumni shelf.
595
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:06,761
Go ahead, open it up.
596
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,762
You hear that? That's the sound
of a book that's never been opened.
597
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,809
Don't ever think
that you can get their attention.
598
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,291
- Whose?
- The men.
599
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,807
Who write the reviews.
Who run the publishing houses.
600
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,803
Who edit the magazines.
601
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,209

who gets to be taken seriously,
602
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,886
who gets to be put up on a pedestal
for the rest of their lives.
603
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,530
A writer has to write.
604
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,728
A writer has to be read, honey.
605
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,166

616
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,961
Mmm-hmm.
617
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:44,528

Maybe go on a tour of the city.

What, some lousy tour bus?

if you let me go.

I'm not stalking you, I promise.

But I do have something for you.
I was gonna leave it at the desk.
664
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,084
Just a little something
I picked up at a bookstore at Smith
665
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,242
when I was doing some research on Joe.
666
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,205
- Northrop House.
- Hmm.

00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,205
That was my dorm.

you'd get a kick out of it.

Thank you, Nathaniel.
This is very thoughtful of you.

in my aborted attempts at wooing Joe.

I'd love to buy you a drink, if I may.

There's a lovely bar close by,
very 19th century.

You can imagine Strindberg
getting hammered in there.

how appropriate that would be.

Well, it's completely inappropriate.

I have gotten an offer
to write a book about Joe.

I wanted to tell you so you don't think
I'm doing anything behind his back.

00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,971
You may as well know
that I am aware of Joe's various...
690
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,050
indiscretions.
691
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,763
Well, I'm sure you are.
692
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,085
I can imagine it's veryjuicy material
for a biographer.
693
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,443
You would think so, but,
to be honest, it's a tad predictable.
694
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,804
Most of your men of genius
tend to have overactive libidos,
695
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,004
and thanks to worshipful tomes
put out by us biographers,
696
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,091
we're all supposed to find it
charming and forgivable.
697
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,206
(SIGHS)
698
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,285
I don't, actually.
I find that behavior rather appalling.
699
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,084
Well, please don't paint me as a victim.
700
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,806
I am much more interesting than that.
701
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,126
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
702
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:25,801
I know you are.
703
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,564
Look, I don't wanna make the wrong
assumptions about your relationship.
704
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:38,085
Now we have an opportunity
to set the record straight.
705
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:39,766
(LAUGHS)
706
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,488
You are so transparent, Nathaniel.
707
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,531
I can't believe I let you lure me here.
708
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,842
Of course, you have
the opportunity to leave,
709
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,642
spend the rest of the day in some
draughty museum of obscure Nordic art.
710
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,804
Or we can enjoy these excellent drinks.
711
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,081
Morning, Joseph.
712
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,969
Professor Chen Ling, chemistry.
713
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,041
Hello.
714
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,805
- Dr. Karl Seigler, medicine.
- How do you do?
715
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,850
- And Sir Randall Meade, economics.
- Pleasure.
716
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,604
For me, too.
717
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,047
I'll turn you over now briefly
to Mr. Lager-felt,
718
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,851
who will just run you through
the protocol for tomorrow.
719
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,322
Gentlemen, you will take your seats
720
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,246
indicated for now
by these signs with your names.
721
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,086
When it is time
for you to receive your medal,
722
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,925
you will walk from your seat to here.
723
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,684
And you will receive your medal
from the king.
724
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,808
And then you shall bow,
making the three reverences.
725
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:57,761
Like so.
726
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,484
We will start with you, Mr. Castleman.
727
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:02,561
Oh.
728
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:04,921
Okay.
729
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,161
Uh...
730
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:10,163
Sorry. I bow first?
731
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,520
You approach the king and then you bow.
732
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,327
- I'm sorry.
- No need to apologize.
733
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,050
That is why we are practicing.
734
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,930
- It's not rocket science, Castleman.
-(LAUGHTER)
735
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,244
No, of course.
736
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,088
And now the three reverences.
737
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:49,970
Walter, could I have a moment?
738
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,320
Are you all right, Mr. Castleman?
739
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,289
I'm fine.
I just need to take a little break.
740
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,886
- Do you need anything? Water or...
- No.
741
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,247
- Just tell us.
- No, please, I'm fine.
742
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,288
- Just for a moment.
- Okay.
743
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:01,771
We'll walk you out.
744
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:03,486
(DOOR OPENS)
745
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,810
I come to you unarmed.
746
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:10,881
Oh.
747
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,522
I could tell
that all that clicking in your face
748
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:17,806
was getting on your nerves.
749
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,451
You're doing your job.
750
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,522
Well, the good news is they told me,
751
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,967
if you wish,
they will release you for the day.
752
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,528
I wish that.
753
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:33,008
Which of these doors do you think
offers the quickest escape?
754
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,243
Shall we try them and see?
755
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,369
So, I would guess
Joe made you give it up.
756
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,886
- Yes, he wants to keep me healthy.
-(CHUCKLES)
757
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:49,486
Mmm...
758
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:57,084
All right,
here's my next fascinating query.
759
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,161
Mmm-hmm.
760
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,209
What does the Nobel Prize mean
to Joseph Castleman?
761
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,402
- Oh, God.
- Yeah. (LAUGHS)
762
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,324
That's not mine. It's not mine.
763
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:07,765
- It's from the publisher.
- Oh.
764
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,608
Why don't I just use
what he said to me on the plane?
765
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:12,929
(MIMICKING) "It's not about the prize.
766
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,886
"It's about getting up the gumption
to write the next book."
767
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,765
(LAUGHS) Perfect. Thank you.
768
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,921
And what about you?
How do you get up the gumption?
769
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,240
To get up in the morning?
770
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,081
To write.
771
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,208
- I'm not a writer.
- I beg to differ.
772
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:30,324
When I was going through
the Smith archives,
773
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,925
I came across some of your stories
774
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,729
that were published
in the college journal.
775
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,484
I read The Faculty Wife.
776
00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:38,049
Beautifully written piece.
777
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:39,600
Thank you.
778
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,403
I had some potential.
779
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,123
Ever regret giving it up?
780
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:48,287
No.
781
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,048
I had very low expectations
782
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,050
about what I could achieve
as a female writer.
783
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,203
There were plenty of successful
female writers back then.
784
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,641
Yes, but I didn't have
the personality for it.
785
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:04,481
Really?
786
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,041
I'm quite shy.
I don't like to be looked at.
787
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,201
(SNICKERS)
788
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,127
Okay, I won't look at you, then.
789
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,922
So, what about Joe?
Did he encourage you to keep writing?
790
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,883
Yes, but, as I said,
791
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,487
- I didn't choose to pursue it.
- Hmm.
792
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,290
Because he was the writer of the family.
793
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,885
Nathaniel, if you're trolling
for nuggets of bitterness,
794
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,843
you'll find none here.
795
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,929
(EXCLAIMS) Shucks.
796
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,126
Hmm.
797
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,442
- Now, speaking of bitterness...
-(CLEARS THROAT)
798
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,402
I spoke to his ex, Carol.
799
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:57,806
How is she?
800
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,123
- She's good. She's a psychiatrist.
- Oh.
801
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:04,809
- Good for her.
- Yeah.
802
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,448
And their daughter, Fanny?
803
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,124
Successful dentist.
804
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:13,291
Rest assured,
Carol forgives you, by the way.
805
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:15,161
Oh.
806
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:17,685
- I'm glad.
- Hmm.
807
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:21,811
Joe tried to keep in contact
with them...
808
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,329
I actually urged him to,
809
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,164
but we feel very badly
about that chapter in our life.
810
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,011
Well, she wants to make sure
811
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,686
that you know how thankful she is
that you took him off her hands.
812
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,091
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
813
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,246
She's very welcome.
814
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,609
Joan, I hope you know that
815
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:53,089
his affairs have nothing to do with you.
It's a compulsion.
816
00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:59,170
I believe it's a deep-seated fear
of inadequacy.
817
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,728
Aren't you the therapist.
818
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,440
Do you have anyone that you confide in?
819
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,281
No.
820
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,209
And I don't really care to.
821
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,167
I guess that's what makes you
so attractive.
822
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,129
You're very mysterious.
823
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,844
- Are you flirting with me?
-(CHUCKLES)
824
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,368
Probably. Why not?
825
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,762
You know I don't trust you.
826
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,841
-(ALARM BEEPING)
- Oh, shit.
827
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,246
My pills.
828
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,121
Pills?
829
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,089
Yeah. Blood pressure.
830
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,123
I think I should get back to the hotel.
831
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,406
Yeah.
832
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,923
Here, hold this.
Let me give you something.
833
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,080
God, where's my pen?
834
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:09,400
Here it is.
835
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,807
Let's see. "To...
836
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:16,801
"Linea..."
837
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,170
Is that with an M, or'?
838
00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:20,844
No, it's two N's.
839
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,604
Oh, shit.
840
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,290
It doesn't matter.
841
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,006
I should go.
842
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,045
Will you find your way out?
843
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,205
Yeah.
844
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,001
(SIGHS)
845
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:41,811
Fuck it.
846
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,641
NATHANIEL: I have read
some of Joe's earlier work.
847
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,245
Couple of short stories I came across,
848
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,971
some obscure literary journals,
849
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,647
and I hate to say it, Joan,
850
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:58,605
but not very good.
851
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:04,727
Well, early work is rarely readable.
I mean, you should know that.
852
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,647
Yeah, but these didn't even have
a hint of his mature voice.
853
00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:12,770
In fact, your piece, The Faculty Wife,
854
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,323
that reads much more like
early Castleman than these did.
855
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:19,686
That's understandable.
856
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,451
Joe had a very heavy hand as a teacher.
857
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,286
Fair enough.
858
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,846
When I spoke to Carol,
she said that it was very odd
859
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,844
how much better his writing became
after he met you.
860
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:38,921
(LAUGHS)
861
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:40,970
That's very generous of her.
862
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:43,121
(SCOFFS)
863
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,690
With all respect,
864
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,206
I think you are sick and tired

of Joe Castleman.
866
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,689
I think you're tired of his affairs,
tired of being invisible,
867
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:58,004
tired of channeling your enormous talent
into creating the Castleman legend.
868
00:51:58,080 --> 00:51:59,730
I would think
for the sake of your family,
869
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,043
for the happiness of your family,
you would wanna do something like this.
870
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,691
David seems like
a very unhappy young man.
871
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,731
You have no business
talking about my children.
872
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,170
You're right. I'm sorry.

(SIGHS)
874
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,121
I do think you want to talk to somebody.
875
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,244
I give you my word,
I will never reveal my source.
876
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.
877
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:33,971
Then the truth will be out there.
You would be free to write on your own.
878
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,281
What a marvelous story, Nathaniel.
879
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,049
You really ought to write fiction.
880
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,286
Joan...
881
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:54,965
You know where I'll be.
882
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,162
I really do want you to know that
I genuinely do enjoy your company.

Joanie?

00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,131
Joanie, is that you?
887
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,240
Yeah.
888
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,607
Where have you been?
I've been worried sick about you.
889
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,963
Why? It's only 4:30.
890
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,008
Yeah, but look how dark it is already.
891
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,931
Don't do this to me.
Don't disappear on me like this.
892
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:42,005
I didn't disappear.
I went out for a couple of hours.
893
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:43,970
So, what you been doing all day?
894
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,442
Well, I walked around,
went into a couple of stores,
895
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,445
looked in a couple of shops.
How did the rehearsal go?
896
00:53:50,720 --> 00:53:52,484
Joanie, have you been smoking?
897
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,322
- I can smell it on you.
- I went into a cafe,
898
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,767
and it was filled with smoke. Ugh.
899
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,044
Have you been drinking, too?
900
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,849
Yeah, I had a vodka.
901
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,206
In the middle of the day?
902
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,490
Yes, Joe, in the middle of the day.
903
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:07,371
You know, Joanie,
you can't be doing this.
904
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,920
You can't be showing up at functions
with alcohol on your breath.
905
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:14,085
You are the star of the big show,
so why would anyone possibly care?
906
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:15,810
What the hell has gotten into you?
907
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,043
I don't like to be lectured to.
I'm not a child.

Oh. God damn it, Joe.

00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:23,401
- What?
- Are...
910
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,607
Are you gonna stop throwing
your clothes all over the floor?
911
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:27,806
- I am so sick and tired...
- Here.

- I got hungry. I bought some walnuts.

Let me see it.
915
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,204
- It's just a walnut.
- Can I see it'?
916
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:37,845
What are you talking about?
"Can I see it?"
917
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,001
Give it to me.
918
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:40,725
- What are you doing?
- Give it to me.

- I put a stop to it.
- Oh. Bully for you.

00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,682
Yeah, bully for me. And do you know why
I put a stop to it?
929
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:12,207
Because I was worried about you
on some fucking tour bus,
930
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,762
feeling neglected, so I come back here
so you wouldn't be alone.

00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,365
And what happens?
I end up waiting for you.

Oh.
933
00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:20,529

let you know I'd be late

your photographer!

the Iliad at dinner,

fucked-up thing is,

01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,561
so I suggest we grab him now.
1039
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,051
HAL: All right, I'll give it a read.
1040
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:33,201
Honey, top me off, will you?
1041
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,567
I've a novel here by a lady writer.
1042
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,610
It's about an American family,
spans three generations.
1043
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,206
It's great writing, kind of brilliant.
1044
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,408
- But I thought it was a little soft.
- HAL: Soft?
1045
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:45,969
Well, it comes from the point of view
of this woman.
1046
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:47,565
I don't know. It just didn't grab me.
1047
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:49,011
- Is she good-looking?
- So-so.
1048
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:53,005
How about Jewish writers? Anyone have
any smart, young Jewish writers?
1049
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,970
All the big houses have one.
Where the hell is ours?
1050
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:58,809
- Mr. Bower.
- Huh.
1051
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,731
I think I may have
what you're looking for.
1052
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,723
(BABY CRYING)
1053
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,211
So, I walked to Harlem and back,
I had five espressos,
1054
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,170
and I made my way through
a pack and a half of cigarettes.
1055
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,729
You asked me to be honest.
1056
01:02:58,600 --> 01:02:59,965
So, talk.
1057
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,249
I'm so sorry, Joe,
but it just doesn't work for me.
1058
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:07,881
What do you mean?
1059
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,043
Somehow it never comes alive.
1060
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:15,242
The subject is too close to you.
I should get a more objective opinion.
1061
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,768
Your characters are wooden, Joe.
1062
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,846
No offense,
but you didn't make them real.
1063
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,605
That doesn't mean anything.
Get specific.
1064
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:30,406
Well, for one thing,
1065
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,444
your dialogue is stilted.
1066
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,161
- Let me see if I can get an example.
- Fuck this.
1067
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,244
What the fuck'?
Okay, this is not gonna work.
1068
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,368
- What isn't?
- This whole thing. You and me.
1069
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,249
This love affair of ours,
whatever you wanna call it.
1070
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.
1071
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:48,846
How could you love me
1072
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:50,445
-if you think I'm a hack?
- Joe.
1073
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,251
Look, how can I be with someone
who doesn't respect me?
1074
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:54,765
- I do...
- You have no respect for me.
1075
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,049
I do respect you.
I respect you in all kinds of ways.
1076
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,363
All kinds of ways. Well, fuck that.
1077
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,209
Tell me you believe in me as a writer.
1078
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:07,046
- It's only your first draft, Joe.
- Screw this, Joanie. It's over.
1079
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:08,841
This relationship's doomed.
1080
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:11,526
What am I supposed to do
when I'm back in...
1081
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,407
Go back and teach English
at some second-rate college?
1082
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:17,925
Since I obviously blew it
with the Ivy Leagues
1083
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:19,246
by screwing one of my students.
1084
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,926
I'm not just one of your students, Joe.
1085
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,162
No, you're the girl
with the golden touch.
1086
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:25,765
You'll go on to be a literary sensation
1087
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,326
while I stay at home grading papers
and cooking the pot roast.
1088
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,529
I'm not gonna be a literary sensation,
you bastard, not ever.
1089
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,082
No one will ever publish my books,
1090
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,208
and even if they did,
no one would read them.
1091
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,287
I'm not full of big ideas
the way you are.
1092
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,521
You're the one
that has something to say, not me.
1093
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:47,531
Please don't leave me.
1094

If I lose you, my life is over.
1095
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:53,769
I'm not going anywhere.
1096
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:55,808
I don't wanna live without you.
1097
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,122
I don't wanna live without you either.
1098
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,331

What are we gonna do?
1105
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,647
I don't know. I just...
1106
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:48,565
Let me think.
1107
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:54,891
So, you think it's hopeless?
1108
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:57,971
This piece of shit I wrote?
1109
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:00,765
It's not a piece of shit, Joe.
1110
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:05,768
It's a very compelling story.
1111

All the ideas are there.
1112
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,130
I can see it.
1113
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:18,650
I could fix it.
1114
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,009
Do you want me to fix it'?

What did he say?
1117
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:50,841
He loved it.

- They wanna publish it?
- Yeah.

01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,124
- They wanna publish it?
- Yes!

- Is it what?
- Your night.
1165
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:53,206
Because according to your biographer,
this could all be some brilliant fraud.
1166
01:08:53,480 --> 01:08:55,130
What biographer?

That guy on the plane
with the glasses and the hair.

- Andy Warhol with pigment.
- Nathaniel Bone?
1169
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:02,286
He's not my fucking biographer.
What are you talking about?
1170
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,203
- He was in the bar last night.
- JOAN: What did he say to you?
1171
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:08,285
He said that I shouldn't measure myself
against my venerable father's success
1172
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,169
because there is, in fact, a theory
1173
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:14,321
that you, my mother,
are the real genius of the family.
1174
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:16,011
That's ridiculous.
1175
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,409
Why would he make
such a twisted thing up?
1176
01:09:19,480 --> 01:09:21,687
David, he's out to get me
1177
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:25,283
because I won't authorize
his hack job on my life.
1178
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,445
Don't be an idiot, David.
1179
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:29,611
- I'm not an idiot.
- All right.
1180
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:31,728
- Why would you call me that?
- Okay, calm down.
1181
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:33,325
But, of course, if what he said is true,
1182
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:36,483
then I really, really would be
a fucking idiot, wouldn't I?
1183
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,167
David, look,
I hate to state the obvious,
1184
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,049
but I think the pot
is making you paranoid.
1185
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:42,690
I'm not fucking paranoid.
1186
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,366
David, Nathaniel Bone is
an insidious man.
1187
01:09:45,480 --> 01:09:48,051
He had no business saying
those kinds of things to you.
1188
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,089
He said you had a drink with him, too.
1189
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:54,406
Did you?
1190
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:55,801
I did.
1191
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:57,446
He approached me in the lobby.
1192
01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:59,210
I thought it would be unwise
to rebuff him.
1193
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,851
- He said that you confessed.
- Confessed what?
1194
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:06,404
He said that you ghostwrite Dad's books.
1195
01:10:06,480 --> 01:10:08,164
I never said that.
1196
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:13,641
Do you?
1197
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,088
No, David, I do not.
1198
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,004
I don't believe you.
1199
01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:28,762
Well, darling,
I can't make you believe me.
1200
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,688
You know, you have to decide
what you believe yourself.
1201
01:10:34,440 --> 01:10:36,807
David, it's all lies.
It's fucking outrageous.
1202
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,571
Dad, why were you always
closing the door on me, huh?
1203
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,643
With her inside, when I was young?

It's about her boredom

1248

With each book, Mr. Castleman,
you have challenged the novelistic form
1249

and reinvented the very nature
of storytelling and of prose.

of class and gender.

You are a master of words,

but, more importantly,
1258
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:49,130
you are a master

01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,921
so you could work without distraction?
1373
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:18,290
You don't think
there were times when it killed me
1374
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:20,848
that you were the one
with the golden touch?
1375
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:22,521
Hmm?
1376
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:27,882
You think I wake up every morning
feeling even remotely proud of myself?
1377
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:33,049
But have I ever said
I'm done with this marriage,
1378
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:34,481
I'm walking away?
1379
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,001
- No, you had affairs.
- Oh, God.
1380
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,926
And I've regretted
every fucking one of them.
1381
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,
1382
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,642
and I always would because, you know,
1383
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,883
somehow you convinced me
that my talent made you do it.
1384
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:51,406
- Oh, shit.
- And then when I was too angry
1385
01:22:51,480 --> 01:22:53,721
or too furious or too hurt to write,
1386
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,087
you would give me
one of your famous back rubs,
1387
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:57,531
and you'd say, "Use it, Joanie. Use it."
1388
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,090
- I never said that.
- Oh, yes, you did.
1389
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:00,486
- I never said that.
- Yes, you did.
1390
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,005
Lucky for me I had somewhere to put it.
1391
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:04,726
I mean, critics loved the image
of Sylvia Fry, you know,
1392
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,041
scrubbing the tear stains
out of her dress.
1393
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:09,600
They just loved that,
another Castleman masterpiece.
1394
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,126
Your chest just swelled
when you read me those reviews.
1395
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:13,486
It actually swelled.
1396
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:14,686
And rather than being outraged
1397
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,371
and rather than thinking about
what this all was doing to our kids,
1398
01:23:17,440 --> 01:23:18,885
I would watch you and I'd say,
1399
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,964
"Oh, my God,
how can I capture that behavior?
1400
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:23,644
"How can I put all that in words?"
1401
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,769
And you know what? I did, right here.
1402
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,721
Right here.
Yeah, another Castleman masterpiece.
1403
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:36,282
Oh, and, uh, let's see. This one I wrote
after you screwed, who was it?
1404
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:38,249
- Yeah, our third nanny.
- God.
1405
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:42,167
This book had nothing at all to do
with the fucking nanny.
1406
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:44,208
Oh, yes, it did.
It's on every single page.
1407
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:48,842
These are my stories,
my culture, my family, my ideas.
1408
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:53,409
My words, my pain,
my spending hours alone in that room
1409
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:57,161
turning your appalling behavior
into literary gold!
1410
01:23:57,480 --> 01:24:00,324
What compelling ideas
did you ever fucking have?
1411
01:24:00,480 --> 01:24:03,643
You were nothing but a privileged,
prissy little co-ed.
1412
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:07,681
The only decent story
you ever wrote alone was about Carol.
1413
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,128
You stole from my life even then.
1414
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:14,889
Shame on you, Joe.
1415
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:21,731
You loved holing up in the Village
with the big, bad Jew.
1416
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:24,122
You loved making your parents squirm.
1417
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:28,245
You got the literary life
and the house by the sea. Hmm?
1418
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:33,324
You loved getting the nice clothes
and the travel and all the privileges
1419
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:37,246
without ever having to marry
some schmuck from a brokerage firm.
1420
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,250
- You got it all, my girl.
- Well, you can have it back.
1421
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:42,040
I don't want it.
1422
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:44,006
What are you doing?
1423
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:46,569
I'm going to spend the night
in David's room,
1424
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:49,041
and then when I get home,
I'm gonna call a lawyer.
1425
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,926
This is ridiculous. Joanie, we got kids.
1426
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:53,884
We got a grandchild.
1427
01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:56,368
We've got friends we've known for years
1428
01:24:56,440 --> 01:24:58,602
who are gonna start dying on us
one by one.
1429
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:00,170
Where you gonna be?
1430
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,005
You gonna be living alone feeling brave?
Is that what you want?
1431
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,442
Joanie, wait for me.
Don't walk away from me, God damn it!
1432
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:06,851
Don't touch me!
1433
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:08,206
Don't touch you?
1434
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,286
Joanie, we gotta talk this through.
1435
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,126
I can't do it anymore, Joe.
1436
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:17,440
I can't do it. I can't take it.
1437
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:19,682
I can't take the humiliation
1438
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,651
of holding your coat
and arranging your pills
1439
01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:24,529
and picking the crumbs out of your beard
1440
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,444
and being shoved aside
with all the other wives
1441
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:28,568
to talk about some goddamn shopping trip
1442
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:32,725
while you say
to all the gathering sycophants
1443
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,004
that your wife doesn't write!
1444
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:44,925
Your wife, who just won the Nobel Prize!
1445
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:51,327
So, if I'm such an insensitive
and talentless fucking piece of shit,
1446
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:53,050
why the fuck did you marry me?
1447
01:25:53,440 --> 01:25:54,646
Hmm?
1448
01:25:56,480 --> 01:25:57,766

I can't think anymore.
1453

- Joanie, come here.
- I just wanna get out of this dress.
