成人世界 Adult World (2013) Movie Script

These were on the printers.

You have a lot of submissions.

There's a small reading fee for a few of the reviews.

Small? How small?

Well, um, a lot of the reviews have prizes.

Like, the finger lakes' prize is $1,000, and I'm a shoo-in.

I mean, you're only eligible if you're an unpublished, female poet under the age of 25 from upstate New York.

So...Hello.

Hello!

Hello.

Dad, can I get some stamp money?

Amy, you know we believe in your talent, and we know how special you really are, but, um, we can't afford to subsidize your poetry career.

Okay, I know it seems like I'm not really doing anything right now, but I am writing nonstop, all the time.

Things are pouring out of me you wouldn't even believe.

I could have a volume of poetry in a week.

I mean, I'm feeling a lot.

I'm thinking a lot.

I'm...I'm inspired, dad.

I'm inspired!

Sweetie, you've got $90,000 in student loans, and you've already spent a couple of thousand on these submissions.

so, we can give you an extension for another week, but, after that, no more.

We just have to cut the umbilical cord.

So... Let's see what happens with those.

And here's some stamp money... Just until you win the pulitzer.

- I love you.
