Starting Out in the Evening

Overview
Leonard Schiller once counted among New York's literary lions, but illness and ten years of writer's block have lowered his profile, almost to the point of obscurity. When Heather Wolfe, an ambitious literature major, asks to interview him for her thesis on his work, her interest forces him to address the issues that he has avoided all these years, and stirs in him feelings he has long forgotten, much to his daughter's consternation.

00:02:14 Heather Wolfe, I presume.
00:06:28 Ariel, this is Heather Wolfe. She's writing her master's thesis...
00:09:28 Is that a new listing?
00:12:51 ...I probably would. He's a good catch.
00:17:01 Sometimes they do so right away. Sometimes...
00:19:48 Here we go.
00:24:12 Your novels set me free.
00:27:56 That's a nice tie, by the way. Is that new?
00:31:09 Hi, pleasure to meet you. You don't have to introduce Leonard Schiller.
00:41:07 I'll call you tomorrow.
00:45:21 You're not sure if anyone will publish the one that you're working on now.
00:48:45 Ariel.
00:51:32 ...we wouldn't be here right now.
00:56:33 My wife was not a bounded entity.
00:59:38 But they never catch fire. They're too neutral. They're too careful.
01:02:34 I told her you were out, but she wanted to wait.
01:06:01 I'm sorry I kept you up.
01:11:06 I would like to continue with criticism.
01:15:58 ...when asked to characterize his critical method...
01:18:57 ...if everybody sang and danced for no apparent reason.
01:22:13 - Can I see him? - Yes, of course.
01:28:38 Are you sure you should be working so soon?
01:36:18 I'd have to disagree with you, Schiller.
01:39:35 One, two, three.
