" Brilliant." "So did you have a good time in Spain?" "It's great lt's really beautiful to see some quiet places" "Tell us something about yourself, about your background" "Well, I do books myself I mean, it's much better than to work in the cold mornings for 39 years to get your pension." "When you're writing, you just knock off on your own" "Look out the window, smoke a cigarette, make a cup of coffee, take a shower." "is that okay?" "Yeah, sure Of course, of course ls there anyone on the business side who we should be talking specifically?" " Someone back in the U.K.?" " Do you have an agent?" "Me, you can talk to me" "Directly?" "Great!" "Since we are talking to you directly, what do you have in mind to deal with?" "We were thinking of something in the region of 100?" "I know it's a bit awkward talking about money." "I'll be direct, I mean we love the book, that's why we're here." "We don't just jump on a plane to Spain at this short notice, when every manuscript comes through the door." "But you're a first time writer and as such we're taking a risk taking you on... I can assure you that as a first time writer, 100,000 pounds is really a good deal." " Can I go to the toilet?" " Of course." "So when can I get the money?" "These things take a little bit of time." "We have to go through paperwork, lawyers, that type of things." "We'll sort it out." "How long does that take?" "If you sign the contract here now..." "Then by the time we get back to London we'll get a cheque for you" "So Morvern, are you working on any new material?" "Material?" "Just give us a few words" "What are you working on next?" "I'm on holiday" "Oh, come on, woman, don't be shy" "What's your next book about?" "I work in a supermarket" "Supermarket?" "I love it" "Here, take a picture" "Say cheese" "Cheers!" "So Morvern, you really work in a supermarket?" "No, it's Lana, Lana Flimstone that's right" "No, I'll call back later." "No." "No message, thank you" "How've you been?" "Same old same old shit, buddy." "Where did you go then?" "I met this guy, he's completely mad and I had a good laugh." "Then I met this guy, his name is Stuart" "He's coming to see me in a fortnight" "Well, that's great." " Lana, I'm going again." " Where?" "To Midcombe, don't worry about the money." " What about the money?" " Doesn't matter." "What about your work?" "I quit. I'm going to do anything I like." " Aren't you happy here?" " Well, yes." "Everyone knows you, here." "Every place is the same, Morvern, stop dreaming." "To the toilet." "Sync and additions by Dan vitale.daniele@tiscali.it"
