Reach Me Page #3

That's why you're never gonna out-debate a

woman, because logically, she will bury you.

That's why you say, "you're right,

you're right, you're right".

And you'll do anything for her.

You'll keep your breath fresh for her

so you're appealing,

so you can be kissed,

'cause empires are built on a kiss.

You're not following this, are you?

- Let's go.

- I've tried everything. All right?

Gum, pills, the patch,

hypnosis, acupuncture.

Christ, I even tried chime therapy.

Nothing works for me.

Will you please give

Leland the story?

I don't want Leland.

I want my favorite weasel, you.

- Gerald...

- Gerald what?

You don't want to do this anymore?

He went to Yale to be a serious writer,

but what he is, is a serious

Internet journal hack.

He wants to be a great novelist,

but what he's great at is gossip

and doesn't know his limitations.

You know, I think it's more important to

know what you're not than what you are.

Oh, by the way, no one's writing

great novels. They're writing sexy books.

People are more interested in what's

going on in each other's underpants

- than in their soul. Thanks.

- Take it easy.

Tell you what, Roger, shave your beard,

cut your hair, put on a sport coat,

make yourself presentable, and then

you find this Teddy Raymond.

If he turns out to

be the elephant man,

I'll put you in the hard news right

at the top of the home page.

Do not fail me.

Shut the door.

Ciao.

If I catch you with a cigarette or a

pack of matches or anywhere near fire,

that will put you in

violation of your parole.

I wanna hear from you the minute you're

settled in. Has anything I said been unclear?

- No, it's very clear.

- All right, now, who's picking you up?

I'm taking the overnight bus to

Redondo Beach. My niece is picking me up.

- She's from London.

- Have you any idea what you want to do?

- I'm wearing it.

- What?

I made this dress in vocational.

Here's a book of my designs.

Have you ever heard of Teddy Raymond?

You know, you're a very

lucky lady, Colette,

because I know it was you who cracked

that chair over Gloria's back.

You better be a good

little girl outside,

or you're gonna be right back here

serving out your time and more.

I'm ready to go.

Can I help you?

Hey, Dom, you ever sat down

and outlined your goals?

- Goals?

- Yeah, you know, what you want to do.

- Like what?

- I don't know.

Look, you got this book in a

McDonald's bathroom. Forget about it!

It tells you how to realize your

full potential. What's potential?

It means doing what you're

supposed to do. Okay?

I can't kill Tommy's dog.

If Frank's paying us for that,

that's what you do.

I can't. You know I can't. You do it.
