GroundWork; Q’n’A
ABOUT
Let me cut right to the chase, if I may. Go ahead. Ok. Just one more second... Bring it on, man. Do your worst. Show me what you got. Hey, easy on the tough guy talk. You got it. Sorry. Ok. I'm going to ask you about this Groundwork book. Shoot. What's the point? What's it meant to do? Wouldn't the world be a better place without it? Why don't I answer these one at a time, all right. Actually, now that I think about it, the first two are pretty much the same question. I guess you're right. Ok then. Groundwork is a textbook. Textbooks are supposed to teach people things. Does this one? I'm pretty sure it does. Then how come my client didn't learn a thing? Is your client by any chance a fat lazy moron with no work ethic? Yes, but that's beside the point here. See, that's where you're wrong. Explain. This is a two-way street we're talking about here. How so? Well, this book does have a lot to offer. But at the same time it asks a lot of the reader. Like what? Like that you actually read it and think about what it says and try hard to remember what you read. I see. Does it say that anywhere in the book? It's a given. My client begs to differ. Then your client shouldn't have bought the book. Well, he did. I didn't hold a gun to his head, did I? Although I wish I did now. Anyway, isn't it enough that he paid for the book? Is he expected to put in some work on top of that? Sorry to break it to you, but that's how learning generally works. I see. Listen, you sound like a reasonable person, unlike that waste of space you're representing. It's awfully nice of you to say that. The first part, I mean. So I wonder if maybe you have a recommendation? How is my client going to improve his English? He isn't. Would you mind expanding on that? Happily. It's pretty obvious that your client is a good-for-nothing slob with no ambition other than being a pain in the ass, someone who would rather make excuses for himself than buckle down, hit the books and get some work done. Wow. You really nailed it. That pretty much sums the guy up. It does, doesn't it? Yeah. Also, suing an English teacher? What kind of a dick move is that? You can say that again. Anyway, could you repeat what you just called him one more time so I can write it down? Sure. Does this mean you're dropping the lawsuit? Oh yeah, for sure. My heart was never in it anyway. I could tell. Wanna grab a beer later? Why the hell not. BY So who wrote this thing anyway? A guy. What guy? What's his name? What's he like? Does he dye his hair? Does he HAVE hair? Does he know how to replace a flat tire? Didn't he used to date my cousin? Stop already. Does any of that really matter? I mean, what difference does it make if he's getting a bald spot or he hasn't gone grocery shopping in fifteen years? It has nothing to do with what's in the book. I guess. Still, I wonder who's behind all of this. Maybe you're better off not knowing. What do you mean? What if the guy's a jerk? What if he did date your cousin, the ugly one with the lisp? What if he married her and never told you? What if he kidnaps little children and makes them read his books? Oh my God. I never thought of that. Makes you wonder, huh. Sure does. I hate that guy now. I wish he was dead. I should never have bought his book. Well, at least you learned a lesson. I guess I did. What's the lesson again? I don't really know. Don't trust anybody in their early 40s? Oh, right. © Hey, do you think this book's copyrighted? Why are you asking me that? I was thinking that maybe we could steal it. You mean like the whole thing? Like, just reprint it? Yeah. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? Well, we could get sued. By who? This guy's a nobody. He wouldn't dare mess with us. Apparently not. Besides, unless he has copyright, we're off the hook. I guess. What's copyright anyway? It means there's a piece of paper that says, This here is mine, I'm the one who created this and whoever tries to cheat me out of money is gonna hear from my lawyer. Oh, I'd hate to hear from anybody's lawyer. So would I. But the thing is, getting that piece of paper is kind of expensive. Oh. Well, the guy who wrote this, he sounds kind of cheap. He sure does. I don't think he could afford a lawyer. Also, who cares? That's a good point. All this legal stuff goes way over my head anyway. Hey, don't blame me. You're the one that brought it up. Fair enough. So you're not worried that we could get in trouble? Hell no. This is a win-win situation. Not for the guy, it isn't. Right. Forgot about him. But mark my words, this book is going to make us filthy rich. What if no one buys it, though? I mean, it's a grammar textbook. It is? I haven't read it. You haven't? No. I assumed it was one of those vampire books. Whatever gave you that idea? It says Grammar right here on the cover. Oh, give me a break. I'm too busy making money to read stuff. Including the stuff that's supposed to make you all that money? Huh? You know what, forget about it. Wanna shoot some pool? Sounds great. Ok. So just to be sure, the book thing's off, right? What book thing? Never mind. Line up the balls, will you? D.O.A. Hey bro, how many of these are you thinking of printing? What do you think would be a good first run? Depends on how many readers there are out there. Let me think. Uh, right now... there... are... none. You're a real smartass, you know that? I do. What was the question again? Once the book's out, how many buyers will there be, you think? Not many. A couple dozen? A couple? Half of a couple? Oh. Well then, here's an idea. Don't print it. Just save yourself the trouble. Financially speaking, that makes total sense and I appreciate it. Except... Why do I even bother giving you advice? Look, I just can't not print it. It'd kill me. This book deserves to exist. Even if no one gives a rat's ass about it? Especially then. Seriously, man. Would anyone care if this book didn't exist? Not that I know of. Sounds like a no-brainer to me, sorry. I know. I'm still going to go through with it, though. Well, consider yourself warned. I will. Hey, can I borrow a grand? You have got to be kidding me. No, really. I'm broke. And the book wants out. You got a hell of a nerve, man. I know. I get that from Dad. Of course you do. Let me get my wallet. And that pretty much covers everything you really need to know about this book. ABOUT Tak já půjdu přímo k jádru věci, jestli to nevadí. Klidně. Ještě chvilinku... Sem s tím. Se předveďte. Ukažte, co ve vás je. Ty drsné řeči trošku omezíme, ano. Jasně. Omlouvám se. Tak. Dám vám několik dotazů ohledně knihy Groundwork. Ptejte se. Jaký má kniha smysl? Co je jejím cílem? Nebylo by bez ní na světě líp? Já na ty dotazy s dovolením odpovím postupně, ano? No, když nad tím tak přemýšlím, ty první dva jsou v podstatě shodné. To asi jo. Dobrá tedy. Groundwork je učebnice. Učebnice mají za úkol učit. A tahle učí? Podle mě určitě. Tak jak to, že můj klient se z ní nic nenaučil? Není to náhodou tak, že váš klient je líný tlustý pamprd, kterému se nechce pracovat? To sice ano, ale o to nejde. No a v tom se právě mýlíte. To mi vysvětlete. Tahle knížka totiž vyžaduje úsilí na obou stranách. V jakém smyslu? No, ona sice hodně nabízí, ale zároveň toho po čtenáři hodně chce. Co třeba? Třeba to, aby ji skutečně četl a přemýšlel nad tím co čte a snažil se něco si semtam zapamatovat. Aha. Je tohle někde v knize zmíněno? Ne. To se rozumí samo sebou. Můj klient se na to dívá jinak. Pak si váš klient tuhle knihu neměl pořizovat. Už se stalo. Stál jsem snad za ním s nabitou puškou? Nestál. A teď vidím, že je to škoda. Nestačí snad, že za tu knihu zaplatil? To se ještě předpokládá, že bude muset vynaložit nějaké úsilí? Asi to neuslyšíte rád, ale tak to při učení všeobecně chodí. Aha. Poslyšte, vy mi připadáte jako rozumná ženská, na rozdíl od toho hňupa, co ho tady zastupujete. To ráda slyším, tedy tu první část. Doporučil byste mému klientovi něco? Jak si zlepší svou angličtinu? Nezlepší si ji nijak. Mohl byste být konkrétnější? Rád. Je zcela evidentní, že váš klient je naprostý budižkničemu bez jakékoli touhy se někam posunout, který dokáže jenom otravovat a prudit a který radši hledá výmluvy, než aby zabral, sedl ke knížkám a něco se naučil. No teda. To jste ho vystihl úplně přesně. Takový on fakt je. Že jo? Jo. A žalovat učitele angličtiny, to přece může udělat jenom debil. Souhlas. Mohl byste mi prosím ještě jednou zopakovat, jak jste ho před chvílí popsal, abych si to mohla zapsat? Není problém. Takže beru to tak, že žalobu stahujete? Pochopitelně. Mě to stejně nějak nebralo. To mi bylo od začátku jasné. Co, nezajdeme spolu na jedno? Výborný nápad. BY Takže kdo to vůbec napsal, tady toto? Jakýsi borec. Jaký? Jak se jmenuje? Co je to za člověka? Barví si vlasy? Má vůbec vlasy? Umí vyměnit pneumatiku? Nechodil náhodou s mou sestřenicí? Už toho nechej. Vždyť na tom vůbec nesejde, co je zač. Hraje snad nějakou roli to, že začíná plešatět nebo že už patnáct roků nebyl na nákupu? S knížkou jako takovou to nemá nic společného. To máš asi pravdu. Ale stejně by mě zajímalo, kdo za tím stojí. Možná je lepší nic nevědět. Jak jako? Co když je to nějaký pitomec? Co když s tou tvojí sestřenicí fakt chodil, s tou škaredou, co šišlá? Co když se vzali a neřekli ti o tom? Co když unáší malé děti a nutí je číst ty svoje učebnice? Ježišmarjá, to mě vůbec nenapadlo. To jsou mi věci. Vidíš? Už o něm nechci ani slyšet. Doufám, že chcípne. A tu jeho knížku jsem si neměl kupovat. Aspoň jsi zas o něco chytřejší, že? To nejspíš ano. A o co přesně? O to, že už nebudeš důvěřovat lidem co je jim lehce přes čtyřicet. Jo, o to. © Ty, myslíš, že na tuhle knížku má někdo copyright? Proč se mě na to ptáš? Sem si říkal, že bysme ji čórli. Jakože celou? Že bysme ji prostě přetiskli? Jo. Co tak hrozného se nám může stát? Mohli by nás zažalovat. A kdo, prosímtě? Tenhle borec je úplná nula. Ten by se ničeho neodvážil. To asi ne. Navíc, pokud ten copyright nemá, tak jsme úplně z obliga. Jo. Co to vůbec je, ten copyright? To je takový papír, na kterém je něco ve smyslu, Toto je moje, to jsem vytvořil já a kdo mě bude chtít odrbat, na toho pošlu právníka. Já bych nerad, aby na mě někdo posílal právníka. Já taky. Ale jde o to, že ten papír není úplně levný. Aha. Ten týpek je podle všeho docela držgrešle. No právě. Podle mě si právníka ani nemůže dovolit. A i kdyby, tak co? To je pravda. Mě všechny tyhle právnické věci stejně úplně míjí. No, na mě se nedívej, tys s tím přišel. To uznávám. Takže ty se nebojíš, že bysme z toho mohli mít nějaké problémy? Vůbec ne. Tohle je pro všechny strany přínosné. Kromě toho druhého člověka. Jo, na toho jsem zapomněl. Ale pamatuj – tahle knížka nám vydělá hromadu peněz. Co když si ji nikdo nekoupí? Ona je to přece jenom učebnice gramatiky. Jo? Já jsem se do ní nedíval. Ty ses do ní nedíval? Ne. Já jsem předpokládal, že to je něco s těma upírama. Jak tě něco takového vůbec napadlo? Přímo tady na obale je napsáno Gramatika. Furt se do mě kruci nenavážej. Já mám tolik práce s vyděláváním peněz, že nemám čas číst. Nemáš čas číst ani to, co ti ty peníze má vydělat? Co prosím? Nic, zapomeň na to. Nedáme kulec? Supr nápad. Fajn. Takže to s tou knížkou se ruší, chápu to správně? S jakou knížkou? Žádnou. Připrav koule, jo? D.O.A. Brácho, poslyš, kolik přemýšlíš, že těch knížek vytiskneš? Co myslíš, že by byl dobrý náklad? Přijde na to, kolik máš čtenářů. Moment. Aktuálně... mám... nula čtenářů. Ty chytrolíne. No jo. Na co ses to ptal? Až ta knížka vyjde, kolik lidí si ji myslíš koupí? Málo. Pár desítek? Pár? Půlka páru? V tom případě ti poradím – nic netiskni. Ušetříš si spoustu problémů. Z finančního hlediska je to skvělá rada a díky ti za ni. Akorát že... Že já se vůbec snažím ti radit. Podívej, já to vytisknout prostě musím, jinak bych strašně trpěl. Tahle knížka si zaslouží existovat. I pokud o ni nikdo ani nezavadí? Obzvláště pokud o ni nikdo ani nezavadí. Teď vážně. Vadilo by někomu, kdyby neexistovala? O nikom takovém nevím. Tak potom není co řešit, sorry. Chápu. Já do toho ale stejně půjdu. Varoval jsem tě. Já vím. Ty, nepůjčil bys mi litr? Si snad děláš prdel. Nedělám, jsem úplně bez peněz. A ta knížka musí vyjít. Neuvěřitelná drzost, fakt. To mám po otci. To jo. Zajdu si pro peněženku. A to je tak zhruba všechno co o téhle knize potřebujete vědět.
