CD #11
00:00:59,930 --> 00:01:01,158
Uh... oh, no.
2
00:01:01,198 --> 00:01:04,759
I suppose there's one
in every group, one oddball...
3
00:01:04,802 --> 00:01:05,791
- who never fits in.
- Let's go get him.
4
00:01:05,836 --> 00:01:06,825
- Come on!
- Yeah.
5
00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:08,269
Well, that was me...
6
00:01:08,305 --> 00:01:10,432
- Aah!
- David Gordon.
7
00:01:11,341 --> 00:01:13,935
I found my escape
through my stories.
8
00:01:14,611 --> 00:01:17,171
My imagination was a...
was like a rocket ship...
9
00:01:17,214 --> 00:01:19,011
that took me far away
where I could look at life...
10
00:01:19,049 --> 00:01:20,311
from a safe distance...
11
00:01:20,350 --> 00:01:23,751
which, I guess, is what I...
I now do in my books.
12
00:01:23,787 --> 00:01:25,345
As unlucky
as I was in childhood...
13
00:01:25,389 --> 00:01:29,689
I was very, very lucky
as a writer.
14
00:01:30,594 --> 00:01:34,928
Um, so instead of becoming a
well-adjusted, normal person...
15
00:01:34,965 --> 00:01:38,264
I became a kind of a deranged,
successful person.
16
00:01:39,303 --> 00:01:41,032
And I'm not sure
which is preferable...
17
00:01:41,071 --> 00:01:42,868
but it doesn't really matter
'cause you don't get to choose.
18
00:01:42,906 --> 00:01:45,204
But to answer your original
question more directly...
19
00:01:45,242 --> 00:01:46,971
yes, I do believe
that in every work of fiction...
20
00:01:47,010 --> 00:01:49,069
there is one character that,
for the author...
21
00:01:49,113 --> 00:01:50,910
is in some ways
autobiographical...
22
00:01:50,948 --> 00:01:54,611
and that certainly holds true
for Dracoban.
23
00:01:55,953 --> 00:01:56,942
You know, like in a dream...
24
00:01:56,987 --> 00:02:00,320
one character, um,
usually represents you...
25
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:03,556
but in this case,
it's not who you expect...
26
00:02:04,061 --> 00:02:07,189
um, because, you see,
I'm not the human.
27
00:02:10,267 --> 00:02:11,529
I'm the creature.
28
00:02:15,672 --> 00:02:17,333
Is that good?
29
00:02:31,121 --> 00:02:32,179
David.
30
00:02:34,024 --> 00:02:35,116
Hey, Harlee.
31
00:02:38,362 --> 00:02:39,886
Thought I might see you
here today.
32
00:02:39,930 --> 00:02:41,830
Yeah. I thought
I might see you, too.
33
00:02:51,809 --> 00:02:53,174
Sweet of you to come.
34
00:02:54,211 --> 00:02:55,940
Yeah, I think...
I think we spent...
35
00:02:55,979 --> 00:02:59,073
almost every single birthday
together since the third grade.
36
00:03:00,884 --> 00:03:01,908
Hi, Somewhere.
37
00:03:03,253 --> 00:03:05,312
Somewhere's happy to see you.
38
00:03:07,658 --> 00:03:08,852
So what do you think, honestly?
39
00:03:08,892 --> 00:03:09,950
Are you kidding?
40
00:03:09,993 --> 00:03:11,961
I love the idea
of you adopting a child.
41
00:03:11,995 --> 00:03:13,087
I think it's so beautiful...
42
00:03:13,130 --> 00:03:14,927
for you to open up
your heart like that.
43
00:03:14,965 --> 00:03:16,330
Liz thinks I'm crazy, you know?
44
00:03:16,366 --> 00:03:17,890
I mean, what if she's right,
you know?
45
00:03:17,935 --> 00:03:19,527
What if I'm...
What if I'm not up to it?
46
00:03:19,570 --> 00:03:20,594
Let me tell you something.
47
00:03:20,637 --> 00:03:23,231
My mother raised five kids,
and never, for one second...
48
00:03:23,273 --> 00:03:25,639
did she question whether she
was cut out to be a parent.
49
00:03:25,676 --> 00:03:26,665
And she was great, right?
50
00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:28,439
No, the worst.
51
00:03:28,478 --> 00:03:30,070
Her shrink has a house
in Laguna because of her.
52
00:03:30,113 --> 00:03:31,512
Oh.
53
00:03:31,548 --> 00:03:34,312
Just the fact that you're even
asking yourself the question...
54
