Summary
Eviscerating "Nerve" [a novel by Dick Francis, published in 1964], which they have mentioned as a possible next project, and interrogating them as to why they want to adapt it; claiming it doesn't line up with Ivory's particular strengths as a director; asking him to explain what has drawn him to the property; asking how things are going with "Vertical and Horizontal," which she believes does suit Ivory.
