00:16 I used to be a writer who inspired people.
00:19 [music]
00:22 I had a family who loved me.

00:38 It's a remarkable time for our company, William.
00:40 There is demand for fiction which exhibits real world tragedies.
00:43 Writers we have working for us, of all material the world is providing.
00:46 Yes, sir, but--
00:47 Why are you coming on the rest of our presentation?
00:49 Uh, it's getting there.
00:50 I need you to compile data on overall growth in the fiction market,
00:52 broken down by quarter and region, let's say, in the last eight years.
00:55 Eight years?
00:56 You're right, better make it ten.
00:57 Sir, don't you think we should think about hiring an assistant?
01:00 [music]
01:02 William, we must always work to maximize our profits.
01:06 My life no longer has happy endings.
01:08 I gave up on my dreams.

01:31 Sign's been up for two weeks.
01:33 Miller has it?
01:34 Sure does.
01:35 Miller has it.

01:38 You're charging $5,000 for a janitor's closet.
01:40 I don't care, I just need a room.
01:42 Give me your wallet, man.
01:43 [music]
01:44 [thud]
01:45 No, no, no, no.
01:46 [beep]
01:47 [grunt]
01:48 You all right?
01:50 Where do you live?
01:51 All right, no, I can't get in. I'm locked out.
01:53 I've got a place you can go.
01:54 Thanks, officer. I just need to--
01:56 [music]
01:59 What do you need?
02:01 William, you're fired.
02:03 I had lost everything.
02:05 [music]
02:07 Move it out of here.
02:08 [laugh]
02:09 First rule of the street, always eat when you can.
02:11 I've got to pay the mortgage somehow.
02:13 I need a new job.
02:14 It's on the house.
02:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Things are tough.
02:17 I gave you the piece of pie.
02:19 Waitress.
02:20 It's home. It's a good night.
02:22 I can't write happy endings anymore.
02:24 So find them.
02:26 [music]
02:28 I'm so busy with the cell phone, with the email doing.
02:30 You've got a job writing your stories.
02:32 But you don't take time to look at the world around you.
02:35 I'm just looking at what I see in your heart.
02:37 You ought to try it sometime.
02:39 [music]
02:41 You obviously have not been listening to a word I was saying.
02:44 I tried, okay? I tried to get her back.
02:46 I screwed up.
02:47 I want us to talk.
02:48 You never do it.
02:49 William!
02:50 We grew apart and I wish that we hadn't.
02:54 But what happened?
02:57 She's gone.
02:59 Who are you?
03:01 Everyone you need me to be.
03:04 [music]
03:08 I died but you didn't.
03:10 I lost everything but found myself.
