鬼鬼祟祟的继父
The shifty stepfather?
所以我们必须让她闭嘴
So, you had to silence her.
我没碰过她你知道我没有
I never touched her, and you know I didn't!
看起来可不像
Not how it looks.
也许她发现了你妻子的手♥机♥
Maybe...she found your wife's mobile...
就藏在你最下面的抽屉里
..hidden away in your bottom drawer.
你想陷害我
You're framing me.
是的没错
Yes, I am.
这是不是也很老套埃兹拉
Or is that too cliched, Ezra?
你还指望我怎么做
What do you want me to do next?
是这样
This?
还是这样
Or... ..this?
你一直很差劲埃兹拉
You always were a lousy lay, Ezra.
拜托作家先生
Oh, come on, Mr Writer.
我们的命运都由你掌握
We're in your hands.
还有更好的结局吗
What's a better ending?
你想干什么
What do you want?
我想让你把我的故事讲完
I want you to finish my story.
我想在那个男孩断气之前找到他
I want to find the boy seconds before he runs out of oxygen.
我想揭露
I want to expose the affair
邻居和继父之间的私情
between the neighbour and the stepfather.
我想走出戒酒互助会
I want to walk out of an AA meeting
把我的警徽扔进河里
and throw my police badge into the river!
-是吗 -我想要让这个故事
-Really? -And I want it...
出现在正规的平装书和精♥装♥书里
I want it in paperback and hardback on the shelf!
而不是亚马逊电子阅读器上该死的电子书
Not self-published on Amazon as a shitty Kindle exclusive.
好的
All right.
好的我答应你
All right, I'll do it,
但你必须离开我和我的家人同意吗
but then, you have to leave me and my family alone. Deal?
可以
Deal.
抱歉我现在死了吗
Sorry, am I dead now?
我现在是女同吗
And am I a lesbian now?
还是这都是他的想象
Or is that all in his head?
安静点
Quiet!
我在努力思考呢
I am trying to think!
我遇到了写作障碍
Ohh, I've written myself into a corner.
我就知道会这样
I knew this was going to happen.
知道吗一些作家很难下笔
You know how some artists can't do hands?
而我却不知道如何收尾
Well, I can't do endings.
用最后一页把所有问题交代清楚
Resolving everything on the final page, it's just...
这简直无法实现
it's just not believable!
可如果没有最后的情节反转
But then... But then, it wouldn't be a Matilda Gordon novel
又怎么算是玛蒂尔达·戈登的小说呢
if it didn't have that final twist.
这是怎么回事
What's going on?
我本想塑造一个现代的弗兰肯斯坦
I thought I was writing an updated Frankenstein
后现代的普罗米修斯
The Postmodern Prometheus,
可我最后把你写得像斯蒂芬·金一样
but it's all gone a bit... Stephen King.
成了一个被自己塑造的人物困扰的
A hack horror novelist
廉价恐怖小说家
haunted by his own characters.
-我不廉价 -不
-I'm not a hack. -No.
好故事就是好故事
A good story's a good story.
作为初稿也还算不错
And this isn't bad... for a first draft.
不过我还是打算把你
Still, I think I'll have to leave you
在抽屉里放上一段时间
in the bottom drawer for a while,
看看我能不能想出一个
see if I can't come up
更令人满意的结局
with a more satisfactory denouement.
不不等等我可以帮你
No, no, no, no, wait, wait! Wait, I can help you.
我得过金匕♥首♥奖我的书很畅销
I've won a Gold Dagger. My books are bestsellers!
这不是真的
Well, they're not, really, though.
对吗亲爱的
Are they, darling?
这都是我虚构出来的
They are a figment of my imagination.
就像你一样
Just like you.
天哪
Oh, God.
恐怕你还没有那么活灵活现
And I am afraid you are not quite leaping off the page.
不要
Please don't.
现在再见啦
Bye for now!
天
Oh, sh...
有一天两只小鸭子去游泳
# Two little ducks went swimming one day
翻过了小丘走了很远
# Over the hill and far away
母鸭叫着呱呱呱呱
# Mother duck said, "Quack, quack quack, quack,"
但只有一只小鸭回来了
# But only one little duck came back. #
