I get to the bed and I look at her,
and she's knee deep in this new book.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
But my book is like three undred pages.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Okay, her book.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Is like the fucking Bible, and it had to be
like it had to be. It had to be. It
had to be.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
A warm peace books, you know. But he wouldn't know
that I read.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
So it's like six hundred, seven hundred pages. So I
mean to go, you had to get a bigger book.
You fucking had to do it. You couldn't get the
same kind of book. You had to get. This was
what I was trying to do. I fucking guarantee she
saw this book that was a decent sized novel and
(09:29):
she's like, I'm gonna show this pitch and she had
to get this giant, thick war in Peacetime book.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You you welcome and and and.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Show me up.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Not not everybody reads children's novels like you.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
It's not novel ian.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
So then I said, so that, so I go, well, well,
what are you going to do when I want when
you're not doing your book and I want to tack
my back And she goes all finishes before.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You, Oh is it on? Well, she's walking around the
airport with those deep into it.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
No.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
But but also it's like, you're that fast of a reader.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Well, she's smarter.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I don't know if she's smarter. Really, yes, I don't
agree with that. I think we're the same. But no, no, no,
I'm just annoyed by.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
The whole situation because now I have to see her read,
I have to hear about the book, and on top
of that, now I have to read.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
So last night she read, I watched tires.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
See you want to rewind down with your book.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I'm going to start it when I go to my
when we go down the plane.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's never gonna happen.
