the people at Encore Publishing
to get behind
239
00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:50,685

- Who is Vincent Frank?
- Mm.

00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:06,200
Uh, Vincent Frank
is a national treasure.
246
00:14:06,202 --> 00:14:11,004
He wrote five
of the most brilliant
247
00:14:11,006 --> 00:14:14,709
unclassifiable plays of the
20th-century American theater.
248
00:14:14,711 --> 00:14:18,345
And, uh, he grew up
in the Bronx with Adam,
249
00:14:18,347 --> 00:14:21,016
and always referred to Adam
as his closest friend
250
00:14:21,018 --> 00:14:22,683
and his literary conscience.
251
00:14:22,685 --> 00:14:24,952
And don't forget,
his fiercest competitor.
252
00:14:24,954 --> 00:14:29,724
Which is exactly why your input
would be so crucial to the book.

00:14:29,726 --> 00:14:31,692

have in mind?

He was so uncomfortable
in his own skin.
275
00:15:23,612 --> 00:15:25,046
He once called
a play of mine
276
00:15:25,048 --> 00:15:26,947
"a meaningless work
by a gifted writer."
277
00:15:26,949 --> 00:15:28,582

a shiv in your back.

No, but I owe Vincent.

286
00:15:49,105 --> 00:15:51,806
and more original,
287
00:15:51,808 --> 00:15:53,141

No. I didn't know.

Her kids were cleaning out
her house and came across

a chest filled with
Vinnie's papers.
305
00:16:37,620 --> 00:16:40,791
It wasn't just letters
and notebooks.
306
