romantic e-book.

Right?

It's just... you know,

the times.

Frovers.

They couldn't be friends.

They couldn't be lovers.

So they became frovers.

Oh my God.

Honey.

That just, right now

that came to you?

It did. It just did.

Baby.

I know. I love you.

I'm so...

It's just the idea that they

couldn't, if they couldn't be

this one or this one, but

then you take that word,

those two words and make it one.

Well I didn't know we were

going to do like questions.

Um, I've never

thought about that. Wow.

Favorite.

Favorite writer.

Wow, that's a tough one.

You know I've studied

more composition

over actual literature.

But Ms. Maureen over here,

I know she loves a writer

by the name of...

Jane, um...

Jane?

It's on the tip of my tongue.

Austen.

Austen. Jane Austen.

That's the one.

I hear she's good, so...

Yeah.

Go Jane, keep it up.

Meet someone very special here

with us today all the way from-

Germany.

Ah, that accent.

I love it. It drives me crazy.

It's so world war ii.

I found her at a hardware store.

Went in to buy a drill bit and

came out with a prime candidate

for Mrs. John k

butzin the fourth.

This my wall of America.

And in the center, of course,

is the man I admire

most in America.

Ya.

My special guy, John butzin.

Soon to become very rich.

Very famous.

Already very sexy.

Then maybe sigrid hagenguth

becomes Mrs. John k butzin. Ya?

Yeah. The people in the

group are great.

They're ok.

They can't write for sh*t.

I do pencil and paper.

Just old school-

She does, yeah.

Just I write down my ideas.

I mean I have a lot of things.

I'm juggling a lot

of stories right now.

One is-is about-one I

can't because I'm afraid of

like copyright infringement.

Yeah, that's a worry

that we have that if we

say our material-

If we say our ideas

yeah, is that

gonna be a problem?

Oh man, that's...

That's Richard broadwell.

Yeah, he's a fantastic writer.

He's, uh, written seven novels.

I gotta a couple of them here.

Yeah, right on top.

Babylon express is one.

Um, there's a couple

more in there somewhere.

Um, he's like Fitzgerald of

his generation, you know?

That prolific.

I'm the leader,

the group leader.

After all, getting

together was my idea.

They were all my patients.

That's how we met.

First one published

gets a free eye exam.

This is where I come

for inspiration.

I believe that every writer

needs to have a place

where they can have some

tranquility and peace

And solitude.

This is my place.

I'll come here and meditate.

I'll come here and

write in my journal.

This is where the

magic happens for me.

This is where I plan my

creative path for the day.

This is my walden pond.

Why did I form the group?

I wanted to help Colette.

Oh, I certainly enjoy the

creative process I do.

But Colette?

Writing is her dream.

And I'd do anything

for her because...

Because she's my dream.

My favorite author would

have to be Josie dediem.

Her writing sends shivers

down my spine sometimes.

Although, Joyce Carol oates

has been known to

bring me to actual orgasm.

Possible names for

future characters.

Anthony gilmore.

No, wait.

Anthony t. Gilmore.

Much better.

Fiona fox.

Slate McCoy. Fletcher peck.

And a man known simply as banjo.

That? Oh that's a picture of me.

Yes, thank you for noticing.

Yes, this a picture of me.

Me inspires I and

I inspires I...

Me.

I me.

"You only fail if

you stop writing."

Ray Brad... bury.

Tonight's the night

I'm asking Hannah out.

Yeah, I'm doing it.

I'm doing it. It's time.

I really like her, you know?

And she likes me.

I think.

I'm getting that vibe.

So, I'm doing it.

It's-it's time to

take action, so...

I'm gonna ask her out.

Hey meathead, how come we never

chow down at your quarters?

This is my quarters.

Close to the working people.

Hey, has anybody seen Hannah?

Time to get started.

Nope, ready to read people.

Let's go.

William's right. We'll start,

she'll show up.

William, sweetheart, aren't

these the same three pages that

you read last time, honey?

Nope. They're different.

No. They're different.

I changed a word.

One word?

Writing is rewriting, Colette.

Bukowski said it.

You write five words,

you rewrite seven.

No, um...

Dorothy Parker said that-

who gives a sh*t who said it?

One word, Jesus h Christ.

It's my creative vision, John.

It's how I work.

Which we are here to support.

Absolutely.

This is William's decision.

Just read it. Just read it.

And tell me if you can

figure out the word.

And then tell me if you think

it's better or worse.

One goddamn word.

Anyone?

Flawed?

Close.

Oh, I got it.

It was "this" last

week and it's "the."

Nope.

Is it a noun?

Yes.

Oh ooh.

Drink?

No, that's the same.

If I had a bayonet,

I'd stab myself.

Thank you.

You're welcome exciting stuff.

You guys, I wonder what

happened to Hannah.

It's not like her to miss.

Guys, I'm so sorry. I'm so

sorry I missed the meeting.

What happened, honey?

Did your car break down?

Did you oversleep?

Is Maureen ok?

You haven't met a guy?

Look at her, look at that glow.

Actually I-I did meet a guy.

Yes.

Told ya.

His name is Bryan.

Get ready.

He's my new agent.

Ahhh.

Of sleeping on the moon,

and I guess my teacher really

liked it, so he gave it

to his friend Bryan,

who happened to be an agent.

He called me.

He wants to sign me.

I bet Bryan wants

more than that.

That is so fantastic.

That is wonderful young lady.

I solute you.

Thank you!

Absolutely.

That's fantastic.

Where's he located?

Beverly hills.

Is he gay?

No. No.

Excuse me, could you

take a picture of us?

Thank you so much.

Everybody smile.

Agent!

That was cute that

you said that.

Why didn't anybody say agent?

I thought it was a good idea.

Ok.

To Hannah.

To Hannah!

To Hannah.

Thanks guys.

Look, we are all

in this together.

Ok? I'd be nowhere

without this group.

All for one.

Yeah.

One for all.

I'm merely the first one to get

an agent, but we're all gonna

get signed eventually.

Well, as a matter of fact..

There is an agent in

Santa Monica who is

very, very interested

in John k. Butzin.

He's reading my

manuscript as we speak.

Yay!

Hey bro, you got ten

bucks I can borrow?

Uh... Yeah, sure.

Thanks, bro.

You're the best.

K, guys-

congratulations again, hannnah.

Way to go, Hannah.

Thank you.

Bye.

Hannah's got an agent.

Yeah, she must have

slept with him.

Of course she did.

That really is cool, Hannah.

Oh thank you.

You're time will come, Henry.

You're a better

writer than I am.

A much better writer.

You went to college.

Great, amazing

writer Henry obert.

I knew him when.

Listen, I was thinking maybe

some afternoon we could um...

I don't know, go for a drive,

or see the sights, I guess.

Yeah, that would be great.

You know, I've been

out here four years

and I still haven't seen...

Oh my God.

It's just been four years

since I moved out here, and I

just got an agent.
