My works are pure fiction, I assure you.

Oh, fantastic! I once wrote a book. Well, a few. Mainly of the unpublished type. Entirely of the unpublished type.

I have no idea why publishers were so picky about it being written on the back of my accounts. It was more interesting than the damn numbers.

Always best to have someone copy out the manuscript before sending it to anyone -- unless, of course, the publishers are desperate for more of your work to begin with.

...yeah, but Manny would mess it up. There was that one children's book, but I couldn't let that be published. The fame would have been too much, it was that brilliant.

What did you write? I might have read it.

Most people tend to fill in that blank when I tell them my name. You might be one of the few who haven't heard it but you might not.

The Marquis de Sade, at your service.

Really? Really? REALLY?

Okay, so that gets a lot of gold stars for this place. A LOT.

Excuse me whilst I go and double the price on any of your books I actually have.

I'm touched.

Least I could do.

Actually, it is the least I could do, as I don't have any books by you and this place seems to be distinctly lacking in the monetary exchange department.

Care to donate to the Happy-Funtimes-Library-of-Bernard, Marquis?

There should be copies in the library for your use.

Once this play is finished I might consider writing you an original as well.

Oh, I know. But I like having them in my little dank corner of the universe. I'll go look, though.

This. I approve of.
