81. I understand.Copy !req
82. Success can be intimidating...Copy !req
83. especially when
it happens overnight.Copy !req
84. It's not every day
that a graphic novel...Copy !req
85. tops the Times'
bestseller list.Copy !req
86. I don't want
to talk about it.Copy !req

100. Hey, genius!Copy !req
101. It's Lafe, my agent.Copy !req
102. He's come by to see
what I'm working on.Copy !req
103. I don't have anything
to show him.Copy !req
104. All right.Copy !req
105. You haven't answered
my phone calls.Copy !req
106. You haven't
answered my emails...Copy !req
107. so I am here
to get an answer!Copy !req
108. When am I gonna
see those pages?Copy !req
109. Don't do that.Copy !req
110. I know you're
in a crisis here.Copy !req
111. OK, come on.Copy !req
112. We pushed the dates back twice.Copy !req
113. I have moved mountains for you!Copy !req
114. OK, listen—I'm your friend.Copy !req
115. I went on the line for you
when everyone thought...Copy !req
116. publishing a graphic novel
was insane!Copy !req
117. I pushed! I—Copy !req
118. The hell with it.Copy !req
119. Get in.Copy !req

122. Hey, Lafe! Lafe!Copy !req
123. There.Copy !req
124. Isn't that better?Copy !req
125. Yeah!Copy !req
126. It's a lot better.Copy !req
127. You know what I wanna do?Copy !req
128. Hmm?Copy !req
129. I want to take you out.Copy !req
130. I wanna show you off.Copy !req
131. Right.Copy !req
132. Nobody else can see you.Copy !req
133. Well, uh...Copy !req
134. I guess I can deal with that.Copy !req
135. Hey, hey, hey.Copy !req
136. You're not goin' anywhere,
are ya?Copy !req
137. The sooner you finish
some pages...Copy !req
138. the sooner you'll see me.Copy !req
139. All right.Copy !req
140. She may not be real...Copy !req
141. but she's all mine.Copy !req
142. Sondra?Copy !req
143. She can't be gone.Copy !req
144. Not now.Copy !req
145. Not when I'm on a roll!Copy !req
146. He can see her.Copy !req
147. Am I hallucinating...Copy !req
148. or did I see you out
there in the driveway?Copy !req
149. What's the problem?
You were busy, so I took a walk.Copy !req
150. What's the problem?
You weren't alone.Copy !req
151. You were hangin' out
with the cable guy.Copy !req
152. You know how
those cable guys are...Copy !req
153. always showing up when you
least expect them.Copy !req
154. You want to explain to me
how it is he can see you?Copy !req
155. How is that possible?Copy !req
156. Who knows?Copy !req
157. Maybe I'm his idea
of a dream girl, too.Copy !req
158. But he talked to you.
Explain to me...Copy !req
159. how that can happen
when you don't even exist!Copy !req
160. But I do exist, Andrew.Copy !req
161. Yeah, for me! Not for some
horn dog with a tool belt.Copy !req
162. Sam was just being friendly.Copy !req
163. Sam, huh? Now we're
on a first-name basis?Copy !req
164. That's terrific!Copy !req
165. Talk about your fast hook-ups!Copy !req
166. There is no need
to be sarcastic!Copy !req
167. Listen, Sondra,
it's humiliating enough...Copy !req
168. when a real woman cheats on ya.Copy !req
169. But when it's your
dream woman, I mean...Copy !req
170. You are really
beginning to bore me, Andrew.Copy !req
171. Excuse me for not living
up to your fantasies!Copy !req
172. Hey.Copy !req
173. What's with the jeans?Copy !req
174. They're comfortable. Why?Copy !req
175. Yesterday you looked
like a supermodel...Copy !req
176. and today you're all...
country casual.Copy !req
177. Not that I mind.
You look great, but—Copy !req
178. Glad you approve.Copy !req
179. - Goin' somewhere?
- Out.Copy !req
180. I hate to be the one
to break it to you...Copy !req
181. but as a dream girl...Copy !req
182. you've got certain
travel limitations.Copy !req
183. No way!Copy !req
184. Sondra!Copy !req
185. Get back here!Copy !req
186. What the hell's the big idea...Copy !req
187. stealin' my jeep?Copy !req
188. You don't have a license!Copy !req
189. You don't even know
how to drive!Copy !req
190. What are you doin' here?Copy !req
191. Listen, baby,
I don't have time...Copy !req
192. to keep chasing you
all over the place, OK?Copy !req
193. Maybe you forgot...Copy !req
194. but I've got a lot
of work to do.Copy !req
195. Trust me, I didn't forget.Copy !req
196. Come on, get in the jeep.Copy !req
197. Hey!Copy !req
198. I created you to help me
get through this book, OK...Copy !req
199. not to stop me from writing it.Copy !req
200. Baby, come on.Copy !req
201. We were doin' just fine
before that jerk showed up.Copy !req
202. You're kiddin' me.
The cable guy?Copy !req
203. He's here?Copy !req
204. I'm sorry,
but this isn't working.Copy !req
205. Do you have any idea
who you're talkin' to?Copy !req
206. Me. I'm the one
who dreamt you up.Copy !req
207. I'll decide what's working
and what isn't.Copy !req
208. Andrew, do us both
a favor and go away.Copy !req
209. There's not a lot
to choose from in there.Copy !req
210. Red wine and blue cheese
will have to do.Copy !req
211. That'll work just fine.Copy !req
212. You gotta be kidding me!Copy !req
213. You stay away from her...Copy !req
214. you hear me,
you son of a bitch?Copy !req
215. Wanna drive?Copy !req
216. Sure. Whoop!Copy !req
217. Sorry.Copy !req
218. I get it.Copy !req
219. Now my dream girl's
got a dream guy.Copy !req
220. What are you doing
at my work table?Copy !req
221. What does it look
like I'm doing?Copy !req
222. That's actually
not a bad drawing...Copy !req
223. for someone who
started out as a drawing.Copy !req
224. But then again...Copy !req
225. darling...Copy !req
226. doing my artwork is not
in your job description.Copy !req
227. Sondra, clearly
what we need to do...Copy !req
228. is establish
some ground rules here.Copy !req
229. OK, first, there's only
room for one artist...Copy !req
230. in this house,
and that would be me.Copy !req
231. Secondly, no more
day excursions, OK?Copy !req
232. Your job is to stay here
in my home...Copy !req
233. and make me feel
pampered and relaxed...Copy !req
234. at all times.
And thirdly—Copy !req
235. and this is really the key
to the whole thing—Copy !req
236. no more running around
with other guys, OK?Copy !req
237. Because I'll be damned...Copy !req
238. if I'm gonna share you
with anyone.Copy !req
239. Are we clear?Copy !req
240. You really don't know
what's goin' on, do you?Copy !req
241. Sondra, where do you
keep the towels?Copy !req
242. They're in the closet,
Sam, next to the shower.Copy !req
243. All right. That's it. I'm done.Copy !req
244. As easy as it was for me
to draw you into my life...Copy !req
245. I'm gonna have to
erase you from it.Copy !req
246. Erase me?Copy !req
247. Yeah.Copy !req
248. What's this?Copy !req
249. Don't you get it?Copy !req
250. I'm real. Sam's real.Copy !req
251. You're not.Copy !req
252. You didn't create me.Copy !req
253. I created you.Copy !req
254. I'm the graphic novelist.Copy !req
255. I'm the one who's suffering
from writer's block...Copy !req
256. the one who created...Copy !req
257. a dream lover to help me
get through it all.Copy !req
258. I guess I made you so real,
I even convinced you.Copy !req
259. But there's just
no place for you here anymore.Copy !req
260. No, no, of course there is.
It's my house.Copy !req
261. Hey. Hey! Hey!
What are you doin'?Copy !req
262. Whoa! What are you doin'?
Come on!Copy !req
263. Hey, hey, stop it!Copy !req
264. Hey, stop it, come on.Copy !req
265. Why are you doin' this?Copy !req
266. It's time to get back
to the real world.Copy !req
267. What are you
talkin' about, Sondra?Copy !req
268. Come on. We need each other.
Just give me a chance.Copy !req
269. Come on! Hey!Copy !req
270. You need me!Copy !req
271. I can help you.Copy !req
272. Not anymore.Copy !req
273. Is this really necessary?Copy !req
274. I loved you.Copy !req
275. Hey.Copy !req
276. You OK?Copy !req
277. I never felt better.Copy !req
278. Comin' to bed?Copy !req
279. In a while.Copy !req
280. I got some work to do.Copy !req
281. OK.Copy !req
282. For some, the blank page
can be a source of dread.Copy !req
283. But for Sondra Lomax...Copy !req
284. who's on her way
to another bestseller...Copy !req
285. that nightmare...Copy !req
286. is in the past...Copy !req
287. thanks to her own resolve
and a sturdy eraser...Copy !req
288. tools of the trade...Copy !req
289. in the Twilight Zone.Copy !req
