- DAVID:
So what’s this piece about? What does “Jann” want?- LIPSKY:
What’s it like being the most-talked about writer in the country. That sort of thing. That sounds so -- Lipsky seems embarrassed as soon as he says the words. 17.- DAVID:
How do you learn to do this stuff?- LIPSKY:
What.- DAVID:
Interviewing. Did you go to interviewing school?- LIPSKY:
No... I, uh... A beat. Lipsky feels a tad fraudulent to identify himself as a writer to the man whose success and talent he envies.- LIPSKY:
I’m a writer.- DAVID:
Oh, yeah?- LIPSKY:
I mean I write fiction. Just published my first novel, as a matter of fact.- DAVID:
What’s it called?- LIPSKY:
The Art Fair? David shrugs. He’s never heard of it. Lipsky feels foolish for having brought it up.- LIPSKY:
And I, uh, had a collection published, a couple of years ago. Lipsky’s pumping leg betrays his anxiety. David notices.- DAVID:
You’re a nervous guy, aren’t you?- LIPSKY:
No no I’m okay. How are you?- DAVID:
‘Cause I’m terrified.- LIPSKY:
Are you? I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. 18. 33D INT. RESTAURANT/TABLE - BLOOMINGTON - 1996 - LATER 33D The food is decimated. David is loosening up.- DAVID:
The thing about this tour is... I would like to get laid out of it a couple of times, but... Like, people come up, they kinda slither up during readings or whatever. But it seems like, what I want is not to have to take any action.- LIPSKY:
Like...?- DAVID:
Like, I don’t want to have to say, “Would you like to come back to my hotel?” I want them to say, “I am coming back to the hotel. Where is your hotel?” Lipsky laughs.- DAVID:
I can’t stand to look like I’m actively trading on this sexually.
