| 0:16.6 | wonderful co-host, Sarah Marshall, in a couple of minutes. I just wanted to let you know that today |
| 0:22.3 | we are talking about the movie to die for and we're talking about that movie with our great friend |
| 0:27.3 | Laura Lipman, who we adore, we often say is a patron saint of this podcast. First, you should know |

| 1:23.1 | I had the opportunity to see Laura. |
| 1:25.1 | It was great. |
| 1:26.5 | And I just recalled in this conversation talking with Laura and just her not knowing how many books she'd written. |
| 1:32.9 | That's how prolific an author Laura is. |
| 1:35.7 | Her latest is Dream Girl, a novel, which came out last year. |
