The Man from Elysian Fields

00:00:46 Pasadena, home to little old ladies, noble laureates...

00:04:23 Three, I think.

00:07:23 sat Byron Tiller, who until recently believed writing novels...

00:10:57 Thanks, Harry. That's one swell pep talk.

00:14:17 So I hear. Been meaning to read it, but...

00:17:16 I'm only here because I promised your daughter I would meet you...

00:21:09 -How is that better? -Well, we're professionals.

00:24:32 Right, maybe somewhere down the line you can find me a nice old gal...

00:27:51 I have a meeting with the Little Brown publishers.

00:32:13 I need to hear it.

00:36:14 Good night, Mr. Tiller.

00:40:56 I'm sure it's very tough on him, being a writer.

00:46:21 -Come in! -I heard you typing, but...

00:49:55 I spent a lot, but you need a suit now that you're an important author.

00:56:59 Look, I'm not saying that what you have here is not great.

01:01:17 Do you know why I brought you here?

01:05:04 Yeah, okay.

01:10:38 ...it's because of him. -Don't talk like that.

01:16:50 -Give us a chance to talk. -What would we talk about, Byron?

01:21:18 Byron. Wait a minute.

01:27:07 -That's impossible. -Thank you.

01:32:26 -How's my boy? -0h, he's fine. Good.

01:36:49 He poured himself another scotch...
