- Punch. Punch it in.
- Okay. Right.
Okay. Let's... First of all,
refresh the screen here...
...all right, and go in a format ruler.
- There.
- All right.
- Now, file?
- Right.
- And it's in memory?
- Right.
And...
...mark this down
in the prefix file codes.
- Prefix code. Right.
- Okay.
Good. Yeah, you got it.
Another week, you'll have it down.
It's temporary anyway.
I said, it's temporary anyway.
I do not intend to be stuck doing this
for the rest of my life.
- Don't tell Mr. Digman I said that.
- Okay.
Because what I really wanna do is,
I'd really like to get into publishing.
There aren't any openings right now.
But what I would love to do is just
create a magazine, my own magazine...
...which would be, like,
a forum for writers and intellectuals...
...who can't get into print
anywhere else, who could, you know...
I'm not into editing or trying
to reach a particular audience.
Getting it out there,
they would get some momentum going...
...and, you know, do something with...
- With, you know...
- Excuse me, one second.
I love that book.
I love that book.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
I think Miller's really great.
"This is not a book.
This is a prolonged insult.
A gob of spit in the face of art.
A kick in the pants to truth,
beauty, God... "
Something like that.
That's very good.
That's all I remember.
I've read this before. I mean, I don't...
I'm just rereading it.
I don't reread books that often...
...but this one's my favorite.
I like it better than Capricorn
or Plexus...
...or Sexus.
You know, he used to kiss himself
after he ate a good meal.
It's mostly...
Let me ask you. Does that cashier
seem a little weird to you?
He keeps making
these strange movements.
God!
I think he's just waiting
to be discovered.
Do you want another coffee?
No. I'm gonna head over
to my friend's house.
- Which way you headed?
- Downtown, SoHo.
Oh, nice. Nice. A loft?
Yeah. She's a sculptress.
Lately, she's been making these
plaster-of-Paris bagels and cream cheese.
Really.
She's trying to sell them as
paperweights. You wanna buy one?
Paperweight?
Yeah, I would. How much are they?
I don't know.
If you think you might be interested,
her number's 243-3460.
243-3460. Okay.
- Her name is Kiki Bridges.
- Kiki Bridges. Okay.
- Nice talking to you.
- Yeah. Great talking to you.
Excuse me. Can I borrow your pen?
Thank you.
- Yeah?
- Yes. Is Kiki Bridges there, please?
- This is her. 
- Hi.
You don't know me. I'm calling because
I'm interested in your paperweights.
- Yeah?
- You're the sculptress, right?
A girl I met tonight in a coffee shop
told me that she was staying with you...
Oh, you mean Marcy. 
- I don't know. She didn't say her name.
- Hold on. I'll get her. 
She told me about these paperweights
and the work that you do.
Hello?
- Hello? Marcy?
- Yeah. 
Hi, this is Paul Hackett.
We met earlier tonight.
Hi. Sure, I remember. 
- How are you?
- All right. I'm all right.
I just got in...
...and I opened up my book
and saw your number and...
Good. 
I'm glad you called. 
So... 
So do you work near that coffee shop
or live in the neighborhood or...?
No, I was just over
at a good friend of mine's. 
Actually, we had a terrible argument. 
That's too bad.
Yeah, it is. 
I'm sure, whatever it was,
I'm sure you'll straighten it out.
You think so?
Do you think I should try to make up?
Well, I don't know, I mean...
You know... Maybe you're better off.
You know, I don't know what the
circumstances were, but sometimes...
You know, I don't... It's not even...
It's not my business.
- Maybe you should come over, Paul. 
- What?
- Maybe you should come on over. 
- Sure. Sure. Now?
Yeah. Why not?
Where to?
I'm at 28 Howard Street. 
Near the corner of Crosby.
