About Time Quote
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]
Tim: 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?
Mary: I'm a reader at a publisher.
Tim: No! You read for a living?
Mary: Yes. That's it, I read.
