[Grady and Hannah are putting a stoned James Leer into the back of Hannah's car]
Grady Tripp:
All right. Let him crash at my house.
Hannah Green:
Where should I put him?
Grady Tripp:
In the shape that he's in, you could stand him up in the garage next to the snow shovels and he'd be all right.

[first lines]
Grady Tripp:
"The young girl sat perfectly still in the confessional listening to her father's boots scrape like chalk on the ancient steps of the church, then grow faint, then disappear altogether. She could sense the priest beyond the grate...” On that particular Friday afternoon, last February, I was reading a story to my Advanced Writers' Workshop by one James Leer, Junior Lit major and sole inhabitant of his own gloomy gulag.

James Leer:
What are we doing?
Grady Tripp:
I'm gonna get you a nice meal, a couple cups of coffee, then I'm taking you home.
James Leer:
Take me now.
Grady Tripp:
What?
James Leer:
I'm not hungry.
Grady Tripp:
James, you gotta eat.
James Leer:
I'll get something out of the vending machine.
Grady Tripp:
Vending machine? What are you talking about?
James Leer:
At the bus station, they have these cheese sandwiches. They're pretty good. It's better if you take me now. That way, Carl won't get my spot.
Grady Tripp:
Carl?
James Leer:
Never mind.
Grady Tripp:
James, go get us a table, will ya? I'm not letting the most talented writer in my class eat some week-old cheese sandwich, okay?

How did you feel about the adaptation?
Wordfest party guest:
I thought it was more literary than cinematic...

No offence, Professor Tripp, but you look kinda crappy.

Hannah Green:
Grady, you know how in class you're always telling us that writers make choices?
Grady Tripp:
Yeah.
Hannah Green:
And even though you're book is really beautiful, I mean, amazingly beautiful, it's... it's at times... it's... very detailed. You know, with the genealogies of everyone's horses, and the dental records, and so on. And... I could be wrong, but it sort of reads in places like you didn't make any choices. At all. And I was just wondering if it might not be different if... if when you wrote you weren't always... under the influence.
Grady Tripp:
Well... thank you for the thought, but shocking as it may sound, I am not the first writer to sip a little weed. Furthermore, it might surprise you to know that one book I wrote, as you say, "under the influence," just happened to win a little something called the Pen Award. Which, by the way, I accepted under the influence.

James Leer:
You're mad at me, aren't you? You're mad because I shot your girlfriend's dog.
Grady Tripp:
It wasn't her dog, it was her husband's... [looking at James]
Grady Tripp:
Who said anything about a girlfriend?
James Leer:
[smiling back]
Grady Tripp:
Okay, James, I wish you hadn't shot my girlfriends dog. Even though Poe and I were not exactly what you'd call simpatico that's no reason he should've taken two in the chest
