Show transcript0:00So at the end of chapter 2, Henry is beginning to question his own motives in pursuing the case, and at the same time wondering whether Sarah is telling him the whole story about the divorce.0:08Yeah, I'm just going to stop you there, Anthony.0:10Sure.0:10I mean, yeah, but I mean, we've just reached the end of chapter 2, and I can't for the life of me tell you what the hell's going on.0:16I mean, you know, Henry, Sarah, these are just words, really.0:20I mean, it's great. It's all great, Anthony, obviously, but I just wonder, I mean, just as an example, I mean, not this, I mean, not this at all, don't do this, but what if, say, the main character dies at the end of chapter 1?0:33I- if0:33I mean, not that, but I mean something like that. I mean, not like that, but yeah.0:38I mean, what if, I mean, not this, ignore this. What if Henry, although obviously not, if he had sex, I mean, not sex, but sex right at the beginning with Sarah.0:46I mean, not Sarah, but you know?0:48Henry has sex.0:49No, forget the sex. I'm just throwing things out there. I mean, you're the author, Anthony, you've got the talent, you know what you're doing, I'm just here to help.0:55No, I, I appreciate that.0:56Yeah, so what if it's not that, but it's Jaws?1:00Isn't there already a book called Jaws?1:02Not Jaws the Shark, but yeah, maybe a big shark. And I mean, not that, but Sarah falls in love with a shark.1:09Sorry, Sarah falls in1:10I mean, just that kind of thing. I mean, uh, maybe it's not a shark, but it's a squid or a pebble or a policeman.1:16Uh, you know, I mean, not them, none of them. Yeah?1:20So...1:21I am making sense, right? Not sense, but you know.1:25Yeah, so at the start.1:26Well, not the start, but yeah.1:29Henry either dies or has sex.1:31Yeah, neither.1:33Leaving not Sarah.1:34Oh no, God no, not Sarah. Unless it's Sarah.1:39To to uh fall in love with1:41Oh.1:42or or not in love1:43Ooh!1:43with a shark, a squid, a pebble, a policeman, or none, or all of the above.1:47That's it! That is it.
