Let me guess...
English teacher.

[Laughs]
Advertising.
It's like agenting
without the heart.
Am I that much
of a clich?

don't look at me.
I'm just sitting
here eating nuts.
And I'm not a teacher.
I'm a writer.

Couldn't make a living.

I must have imagined it.
Maybe on his face

It pays me, I guess.

I'm in development.
Gotta love that.
She's in
organ development.
Buddy:
Can't...[Laughs]
She has this whole
great speech on here
that David Crosby
gives, actually,
about transplants
and stuff.
It's pretty compelling.
I write plays, too.
That's what I was
doing in Chicago.
A play of mine
opened.
What TV shows?
It was no big deal.
A little theater.
I'm here again next week.
I love plays.
No, it closed.
It closed.
Um, it was a limited...
It's called
Lilacs in the Dooryard.
Buddy:
I wonder whywe have plays anymore.
Hello? We got movies.

Buddy:
Know what I mean?
Hmm, not in here.
Yeah.
What's a dooryard?
It's from a Whitman poem.
"When lilacs last in
the dooryard bloomed."
