Yes, sir.

Is the worm turning, Mr. Randall?

The worm has turned

and is now packing an Uzi, Mary.

It's about f***ing time, sir.

What do you want me to do?

I'll do it. Resign today?

Promise never to see Charlotte

again?

Just tell me what to do.

I want you to resign today.

Well, I can't do that.

So why did I say it?

I guess it's just a way...

...of telling you...

...how bad I feel

about being such a sh*t.

I love you, Will.

I know how that sounds, but I do...

...and I know how much I've hurt you,

and it kills me.

I know I can't...

You'll never forgive me, will you?

No.

Okay.

But still...

...I'd like your permission...

...to ask Alden to forget

about the Eastern European thing...

...and keep you on

as senior editorial consultant.

Will you let me do that for you?

I'm gonna get you, Stewart.

Well, I have my offer to-

The deal with Alden

is not completely closed.

- What a f***ing brilliant guess.

- Mr. Alden will see you today at 12:30.

Roy, get on the phone

with your list of authors...

...and ask them if they'd like

to form a partnership with us...

...in a publishing house

of their own.

Tell them

we're leaving MacLeish House...

...because we've heard

that the new unofficial policy...

...is to push everything that sells and-

This will get them.

Bury everything

that doesn't take off like a rocket.

Tell them we've got enough investors

to get it off the ground.

- Two things.

- Go.

- How many investors do we have?

- I don't know. I haven't called anybody.

- But you want me to say it anyway?

- Yes.

- Second thing:
Is any of this true?

- Not yet.

You're my god.

Mary, we'd better start calling writers.

We'll begin with Maude.

- Mr. Randall.

- Hello, Mr. Randall. Excuse me.

Don't get up.

I just wanted to tell you

that I'm turning down Eastern Europe.

Well, I more or less

thought you would.

Nice seeing you again, sir.

Come on.

Thattagirl.

Whoa, baby.

You all right? You all right?

Are you crazy? Don't you have enough

brains to stay away from animals...

...when you know they're frightened

of you?

I didn't know it was me

they were frightened of.

Are you an idiot? You nearly

stampeded the horses last Monday.

Can't you see that animals

are disturbed by your presence?

- Hey, sorry. I just wanted to say hello.

- You're not hurt, I hope.

You haven't fallen

since you were 12.

I'm fine.

Well, here you still are.

You get lost?

- No.

- We were talking.

Yes. Yes, of course.

Henry and Caroline are coming

to lunch. I told them you'd join us.

Did you?

What a pity.

I'm having lunch with...

- Will.

- Will.

It doesn't really matter to Laura

what your name is, Mr. Randall.

What is important to her
