It is so difficult
to know where I should begin.
Especially when, unlike you,
I already know the ending.
But let us say that this story
began with the end of another,
far, far from the surf
of Long Island.
For many years, I had
absolutely no public life.
I had said, "No,"
to interviews so often,
it was widely
regarded as my forte.
Then, just once--
on impulse-- I said,
"Yes."
Does the th century
play any part in your life?
Im sorry?
Do you, for instance,
use a word processor?
Im a writer. I write.
I dont process words.
[ Interviewer ]
So, who do you write for?
Myself.
May I ask why
youre here today?
Well, I was
wondering that myself.
But... your...
colleague was... a friend...
of my late wife, who translated
for the World Service.
And, of course, I do have
a faint interest as to how
these things are done, you know.
Youve never been
tempted to write for radio?
Or television?
Im afraid not.
Would you permit your work
to be adapted for the screen,
now that even
E.M. Forsters been done?
Oh, Id prefer
not to be done.
[ Interviewer ]
But hes been done rather well,
dont you think?
Ive-- Ive no idea.
I havent been to the pictures
for quite some time.
One or two?
One?
[ Man ]
Hey, are you sure this
is the right window, man?
[ Man # ]
I-I dont know about this,
Corey. What if we get caught?
Were not gonna
get caught, jerk-off!
And any minute now that
room is gonna be filled
with butt-naked babes.
[ Boys Laughing ] Hey, big guy,
give me the camera.
[ Beeping Sound ]
Ahhh.
Oh, man!
Whoo-hoo!
Take it off,
please!
She is so totally hot!
Someones coming!
Christ,
its the Stomper!
Oh, Im outta here!
What are you boys doing here?
You shouldnt be here!
This isnt E.M. Forster!
Hey, man, you got a rival.
Mollys in there with a guy!
What?
Ill kill him!
Come on.
Lets go!
Mikey?
You been beaten to it
by your kid brother!
I think its time
for a pizza delivery, boys.
[ Laughing ]
Oh, wee.
Go get em, man!
Hoo-hoo!
Hey, what
are you doin?
[ Mikey ]
Hey, cut it out!
Go, dude, go!
Kick his ass!
Corey!
Whats up?
Hey, come on, man.
We can talk about this.
Yeah?
[ Audience Laughing ]
Hiya, Molly.
Whats happenin, baby?
[ Molly ]
Hi, Corey.
[ Mikey ]
Come on, man. Put me
down! Put me down!
Corey, she made me do it.
Shut up,
you little jerk-off!
Youre just trying
to make me jealous, huh?
Ah!
What a relief.
My wife must have
known this would happen.
Tell me, Mrs. Reed, you live
here alone now, dont you?
Yes.
Me alone.
But the... television.
The television?
Its mine. I like it.
You... watch
the pictures?
[ Man On TV] Your specialized
subject is Christopher Columbus.
Youve two minutes starting now.
With subtitles.
By what name was
Columbus known in Spain?
Cristal Col.
[ TVHost ]
Correct.
Of what did Columbus reputedly
become the first European
connoisseur?
Tobacco?
Correct.
How extraordinary.
Have you been
locked out all day?
No! No, no. I--
Just for a short while.
I went to the pictures.
The cinema.
The ci-ne-ma.
Im ever so sorry
about yesterday.
And why is that?
About not being home
when you needed the keys.
Well, I can hardly dictate
what you do on your Sundays,
Mrs. Barker.
My sister in Whitstables
been poorly.
Needs a bit
of helping out.
Is there anything else,
Mrs. Barker?
I was just going
to mention--
My sister and I heard you
on the wireless yesterday.
Tell me, you werent
taught by Forster when
you were up at Cambridge?
Alas, no.
You know theyre...
even adapting his work
for the pictures now?
Cant say that I approve.
It could have
been a lot worse.
- Er, the adaptation?
- The interview.
Oh. In what way?
It could have been
on television. Thats a much...
greater intrusion,
I can tell you.
Do you know you can get
televisions that transcribe
what people say?
May I ask, would
that be another book?
Yes.
Im afraid it is.
I dont know
how you do it.
Takes me all
