00:02 - Just these, I don't want the others.
00:04 - Come on, man, I slept these all the way here.
00:06 - There's people waiting.
00:07 - You know, you don't have to be so disrespectful.
00:09 You've actually carried my books here.
00:11 - And you are?
00:12 - Lee Israel.
00:13 - Oh, we have copies of your latest work right over there.
00:16 - Nobody is going to pay
00:23 for the writer Lee Israel right now.
00:26 I'm months behind in my rent, and my cat is sick.
00:31 - It's four in the afternoon, and you're drunk.
00:32 - I'm hardly drunk, Craig.
00:34 - No problem.
00:35 - My suggestion to you is you go out there
00:38 and you find another way to make a living.
00:40 - Recently found this delightful sign letter.
00:45 - Fanny Bryce, one of my favorites.
00:47 I could give you 75.
00:49 - Oh.
00:50 - I could give more for better content.
00:52 It's a bit bland is all.
00:59 - Yeah, I can definitely get a lot more for this one.
01:01 - I mean, the P.S. makes it priceless.
01:03 - Quite by accident, I find myself
01:07 in a rather criminal position.
01:09 - What criminal activity could possibly involve it
01:12 except a crime of fashion force?
01:14 - I'm embellishing literary letters by prominent writers.
01:18 - I love his writing.
01:19 - Particularly clever, don't you think?
01:21 - Caustic wit.
01:22 - This is quite something.
01:25 - These are wonderful.
01:26 - I thought so too.
01:27 - Name your price.
01:29 - You were looking at one month's rent.
01:32 - What are you gonna do?
01:33 Gamble? Shop? Drink?
01:34 (laughing)
01:37 - Ms. Israel, I have a couple of questions
01:38 regarding the last letter I purchased.
01:40 - Uh-oh.
01:42 - What seems to be the problem?
01:43 - People are on alert.
01:48 Your name's been put on a list.
01:49 - On a list?
01:50 - They're literary treasures, one of a kind.
01:53 It's my writing.
01:54 - You're impersonating other people.
01:56 - Nobody's buying Lee Israel letters.
01:58 - There have been some forgeries going around.
02:02 - Do you think it's real?
02:03 - Looks that way.
02:04 - Good.
02:05 - You're stealing from me?
02:06 - Come on.
02:07 - Get out of my house!
02:08 - It's just supposed to be something more than this.
02:11 - We're probably looking at some time behind bars.
02:14 - What?
02:15 - I can't say that I regret any of my actions.
02:21 In many ways, this has been the best time of my life.
