Tim: So, what do you do?Mary: I'm a reader at a publisher.Tim: No! You read for a living?Mary: Yes. That's it, I read.Tim: Oh, that's so great. It's like someone asking, "What do you do for a living?" "Well, I breathe. I'm a breather. I get paid for breathing." How did you get that job?Mary: Okay, smart-ass, what do you do?Tim: I am a lawyer. Sort of… Sort of.Mary: That's sexy.Tim: Is it?Mary: I mean, I think so. In a suit, in a court, saving people's lives. Kinda sexy.Tim: I guess it is. Although it's not as sexy as reading. Sitting there in an office in a little chair reading. Ooh!Mary: Okay, stop. Just wait right there mister, because you know a lot of books get submitted to my publisher. So it's an immense responsibility.Tim: I bet it is. But when you're doing normal reading, [they both laugh] is it ruined because it's your job? You know, like prostitutes? I always worry that when they stop being prostitutes that they can't enjoy sex anymore.Mary: You always worry about that?Tim: No, I sometimes worry about that.Mary: Oh, okay, good. Because someone who always worried about that would be a bit of a worry.Tim: When you read a newspaper do you think, "Forget this, it's work"?Mary: Have you interviewed a lot of prostitutes?Tim: When you read a menu, do you think, "No, I'm not reading this, unless you pay me hard cash"?Mary: How many prostitutes will you need to talk to before this issue is solved?
