The Story: Smitten with her latest protege, a handsome young writer with a "special voice," a pretty editor accompanies him back to his apartment—the better to see from whence his inspiration springs, and also to toast their new creative partnership. But while she is captivated by the writer's good looks and laid-back, low-key manner, she begins, increasingly, to wonder (to the audience) at the emptiness—even banality—of his conversation. In fact the only time he isn't boring is when he is quoting poetic passages from his novel in progress. The reason is all too soon apparent.
