GROVES: Was this bacchanal a celebration or a condolence?

PAUL: Celebration pretty much.

GROVES: Well that鈥檚 nice.

PAUL: I became an officially professional writer yesterday.

GROVES: You did?

PAUL: Which is to say: Money for words.

GROVES: What鈥檇 you write?

(Paul sits up; scratches, blas茅.)

PAUL: It was like a contest kinda.

GROVES: Fiction?

PAUL: Kinda. Not a big thing really. You never heard of it.

GROVES: Well, congratulations, whatever it is.

PAUL: Yeah.

(Paul gets back on his feet, crosses to the bookshelf. While checking out titles:)

PAUL: So anyway, I figured I鈥檇 do what all great writers do. Get plastered.

PAUL: Sure seems that way. Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Lewis, O鈥橬eill鈥� They were all boozers.

GROVES: Y鈥檏now, none of them ever
