Lee and Jack's Last Meeting, Explained：like hell I will
On the surface, Lee is asking an old friend for permission to put him in a book. But "I'm still mad at you, you know" says what the meeting is really about: two people who used each other, negotiating whether they get to keep any of it.
あらすじ
Months after the forgery case, Lee Israel invites Jack Hock to a bar and offers to buy him a drink. She tells him she needs to write again and wants to write about what they did, and about him. Jack, wary and unwell, refuses — then the two trade old grievances and, almost gently, make peace.

What's really going on
Lee frames the book as something she needs: 'I need to do something, and I need to write again.' But she's really asking Jack to let her own their story one more time, the way she once owned other people's letters. Jack sees it instantly — 'Like hell I will' — because being written about means being pinned down again. What keeps the scene from cruelty is that both admit the damage. 'I'm still mad at you, you know,' comes the complaint, and the answer is 'I don't think you're a very nice person, Lee.' Lee agrees. When Jack asks to be made twenty-nine, with perfect skin, and not stupid, he's naming the only terms that matter to him: how he'll be remembered.
Theme
FriendshipTwo people who used and betrayed each other still show up for one last drink, trading old wounds without cutting the tie.
MemoryJack's only condition for being written about is how he'll be remembered: 'Could you make me 29? With perfect skin.'

このシーンについての質問
Did Jack rat Lee out to get a lighter sentence?
Lee asks him point blank — 'I guess you cut a deal? Ratting on me worked out?' — and Jack answers with his sentence, not a denial. The film stops just short of a confession, but his own deal is why he's free.
Why won't Jack let Lee write about him?
He says he's 'a very private person' and doesn't want a book out there about him. He also jokes that his 'shadier dealings' would embarrass him, while admitting Lee's crimes were worse than his.
Are Lee and Jack still friends at the end?
Something like it. They trade real resentments — 'I'm still mad at you' — and then Jack starts bargaining over how he'll be portrayed. The scene ends on a warm goodbye, not a clean reconciliation.
Why does Jack say he's late for a board meeting?
He doesn't have one, and he doesn't have a driver. It's a joke he plays straight, sending himself off in the style he always wished he lived, and Lee lets him have it.
