00:00 Average writers attempt originality,
00:03 but the greats, great writers, steal.
00:07 But your personal life seeps into your work.
00:11 If you're asking whether my son's death has inspired my writing,
00:15 the answer is no, I will not be writing about his death.
00:17 I will be writing in spite of it.
00:20 Good morning.
00:23 You must be Brati.
00:24 So you're my tutor.
00:26 Your father.
00:28 He's the most revered writer in the country.
00:30 My husband, the subject of your thesis.
00:33 You're not here for him.
00:34 So don't talk about his work, don't talk about Felix.
00:37 Follow those rules and you should be fine.
00:39 It's only been two years since...
00:43 Felix.
00:45 He licks off limits.
00:46 Don't do it again.
00:47 You know Liam's a writer too?
00:51 I've seen the novel.
00:54 It's actually quite good.
00:55 It's so good.
00:56 You know you're not the first.
01:00 There have been incidents in the past.
01:04 When you said I wasn't the first, what did you mean?
01:09 I have a new novel,
01:13 and I was wondering if you might be on hand for the final stretch.
01:16 Thought you might like to help.
01:18 We did all we could to save Felix,
01:21 but it was too late.
01:22 My husband was always hard to please.
01:25 You're changing my work.
01:26 I'm not.
01:27 Who's the writer?
01:28 This isn't about the writing.
01:31 It was only ever about the writing, Liam.
01:33 Why does he lock the door if he's got nothing to hide?
01:39 I want to know.
01:41 Don't you?
01:43 It's like nothing you've written before,
01:48 but the ending,
01:50 it feels like a different novel.
01:52 [The Last Jedi]
01:57 Liam,
01:58 good writers borrow.
02:00 Great writers steal.
