0:00.0 | Hey, so uh, someone sent me there the day, uh, there's no way Quentin really wrote that. |
0:07.6 | Why don't he farm that, so much he farmed it out, so when I was like, look, I read the fucking thing. |
0:13.2 | Quentin Tarantino wrote this book. So just, would you, just for anyone who thinks that there's |
0:19.8 | a possibility that you, you wrote it, it seemed to me out of a total sense of joy and fun, right? |
