- So that's your ambition? Script writing?
- Yes, it always has been.
00:00:06.868 --> 00:00:10.164
Do you get a salary each week,
or do you get paid by the joke?
00:00:10.268 --> 00:00:15.725
Ah, why, it's ve-ve-very
difficult to say, really.
00:00:18.105 --> 00:00:23.198
You don't need me to tell you it's very
unprofessional- a letter like this.
00:00:23.306 --> 00:00:25.466
- It is?
- Nobody wants to stand in your way.
00:00:25.574 --> 00:00:30.735
Don't think that, but you might have gone
about it in a more satisfactory manner.
