Rory publishes the manuscript under his own name and struggles with the repercussions, while in "real life," Hammond flirts with a young college student named Daniella (Olivia Wilde) at his sophisticated book reading. From here, the film skips back and forth between the fictional Rory and Dora Jansen, and the story of their creator, Clay Hammond. When his wife sees the novel on his computer, she-in typical Hollywood fashion-assumes he wrote it and praises him for his depth and creativity before he has a chance to tell her the truth. Eventually, he decides to type the entire novel on his laptop so he can "feel the words flow" through his own fingers. Jansen struggles with what he should do with the masterpiece he's found. He reads the yellowed first-draft of the novel, marveling at the unknown author's talent.
One night, Jansen discovers an old manuscript hidden in an antique briefcase that his wife Dora (Zoe Saldana) purchased for him on their honeymoon in Paris. Hammond's reading takes us into the life of his character, Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper), a young author struggling to publish his books make ends meet. The Words opens with author Clay Hammond (Denis Quaid) giving a reading for his recent best-selling book, The Words.
