Alexander doesn't have a shepherd's paw.

Sorry, sorry, he does.

So I was going to ask about the car crash.

We've covered the car crash, but I also, in terms of sort of real source material, I wanted to ask about Alexander... Can I ask?

Alexander Geist.

Who's Alexander Geist, Lauren?

I really didn't know that that question would have such a rich answer.

And does that Alexander sort of share a little bit of DNA with this Alexander?

Or did you just kind of take the idea and roll somewhere totally different?

That's how they caught JT Leroy in the end.

Is that so?

It was the getting paid.

Yeah, because you just can't disguise a bank account.

No matter how many proxies you have.

Okay, has anybody read Perfection?

Yes, yes.

I came to a conclusion on Saturday night that this is basically like the other half of Perfection.

So if you haven't read Perfection, it's about a lot of straight people in Berlin being really depressed.

It's a heterosexual book.

Yeah, so they are having no fun whatsoever.
