AN ACADEMIC PERENNIAL.

A THOUSAND TIMES.

WHAT IS YOUR BOOK ABOUT?

UM, MY BOOK IS ABOU A GIRL WHO'S

LEFT ALONE WHILE

HER FATHER WORKS

THE NIGHT SHIF AND HAS TO DEAL

WITH LIARS:

THAT MAKE:

EMPTY PROMISES.

MAY I ASK YOU:

A QUESTION?

Brady:
CERTAINLY.

FIRE AWAY.

WHY DO YOU WRITE

UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME?

A PSEUDONYM?

YEAH.

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY

I, UH...

I SUFFERED A LOT OF REJECTION

EARLY ON IN MY CAREER.

HE HAD TO:

REINVENT HIMSELF.

A LOT OF WRITERS DO IT,

ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SUCK.

THANK YOU FOR THA VERY KIND REVIEW,

MY DEAR.

BUT EVERYONE KNOWS

IT'S YOU, RIGHT?

I MEAN...

I CERTAINLY:

HOPE NOT.

ARE YOU:

QUITE FINISHED,

MY DEAR?

I LIKE HIM.

NO, DON'T LIKE HIM.

COME ON.

HMM?

LET'S GO.

F***ING LIAR!

OH! YOU KNOW,

HE HASN'T READ

MY BOOK, RIGHT?

HE HAS NO READ MY BOOK.

DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG

I'VE BEEN HERE?

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH

TIME I'VE SPEN I HAVE NO IDEA.

IN THIS HOUSE:

FOR HIM,

WITH HIM, DOING...

YOU KNOW THAT I'M NO STAYING HERE LONG

AND LEAVING SOON.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

YEAH, I'M GOING

TO NEW YORK.

I AM NOT STAYING HERE.

YOU'RE GOING TO NEW YORK?

YEAH, NEW YORK'S

THE PLACE TO BE.

YES, IT IS.

PUT THE BOOK DOWN.

THAT'S CRAZY.

SO WHY DON'T YOU

JUST LEAVE?

WELL, BECAUSE

EVERY TIME I TALK

ABOUT LEAVING,

BRADY MAKES IT SOUND

LIKE I SHOULD REALLY

BROADEN MY HORIZONS

AND ALL,

AND THEN IT'S LIKE

A F***ING THREA IF I WANT TO TAKE OFF.

I MEAN, I CAN'T.

IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE

TO LEAVE HERE.

REALLY?

NO.

HAVE A PRETTY:

INTERESTING RELATIONSHIP.

WHAT'S UP?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

KISS ME.

KISS YOU?

MM-HMM.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

PEOPLE SAY:

HE'S A CRAZY OLD

WASHED-UP WRITER.

I BELIEVE:

THE "CRAZY" PART.

HOPEFULLY, I CAN

FIX EVERYTHING ELSE.

HOW DO YOU MEAN?

GET HIM BACK:

ON HIS FEET.

GOOD LUCK.
