I just don't want Pete here trying to kill me, is all.

I heard about that, yeah.

[ Chuckles ]

Glen: How come you're in such a hurry to get to San Luis?

They're shooting a movie up there,

doing some big-action sequences.

I'm a writer. I'm doing an -- an article on stuntmen.

For who?

Oh, something called "Action Magazine."

Say something you wrote that I might've read.

Well, most of the time, I write for literary quarterlies

and psychology magazines -- New York stuff.

I doubt if you've read it.

How'd you get this job?

Well, the idea is that stuntmen --

Basically, they're very boring people apart from their work.

I'd like to really get into the psychological attitudes

behind the work. I don't get you.

Well, for instance, on this movie, there was a stuntman --

a guy called Greg Wilson -- who got killed a few days ago.

Well, that's good maybe for a few paragraphs,

but why he did it, you know, the recklessness

behind doing a stunt like that, that's a good story.

That's a really interesting slant you got on things, lady.

You really think so?

No, I don't, but then, I'm a stuntman,

and that vain, reckless bore you described

as having gotten killed, that was my brother.
