Infamous Page #4

- It might better suit his vanity.

- Thank you.

- Let's start talking...

- Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

In the meantime,

let's start talking to people.

We don't need his blessing for that.

I think we should just speak

to people on the street.

Yes, and in our nicest way, the way

that would most put people at ease, say...

Madam!

May we ask you about the gruesome murders

out at the Clutter home?

Maybe you should drop

the word "gruesome."

Sir!

Sir!

Excuse me, sir.

My friend and I would like to talk to you

about the tragic events of November 15th.

Sorry, ladies.

Do you think everyone keeps calling me

"lady" to be mean...

...or can they honestly not tell?

I know I'm not Charles Atlas,

but even Ethel Merman doesn't have this.

No. Hers is thicker.

Mr. Capote.

Is this all? No messages?

No, sir.

I simply don't understand why

Alvin Dewey won't return my calls.

I've telephoned three times.

Nelle!

Care package from Babe!

It's beluga!

Let's get some Ritz crackers

and eat it right now.

Let's. And you know what I think

you should do tomorrow?

Go see the Clutter place.

Honey, if Alvin Dewey won't return my calls,

I'll never see the house.

You know everybody on the planet.

Call somebody.

And please tell the duke and duchess

I am sick to miss the dance.

I will.

Bennett hears wonderful things

about your book.

I almost don't care what the critics say...

...as long as I can be allowed

to write another.

Your dream of being the

Jane Austen of Alabama will come true.

Anyway, Bennett knows

the head of Kansas University...

...who knows the Clutters' lawyer.

The killers came in this way.

Any messages?

Princess Margaret...

...and Nol Coward.

No Dewey. Again.

They're in both ways over there.

Right, but this particular form

goes under last name.

- That whole stack?

- That's the one, yeah.

Is this a good time?

Yeah. Come on in.

Ma'am.

What can I do for you folks?

Well...

...you can begin by serving me

a large slice of humble pie.

I've come to apologize for acting

too big for my britches.

As you see, I even got new britches.

Yeah, well, no harm done.

Real nice of you.

I wanted to explain myself.

I'm trying to create

a new kind of reportage.

Have you read my book

The Muses Are Heard?

Well, it was very well received.

It's about an American opera company going

to Moscow to perform Porgy and Bess.

Now, if I relied only on what

the press managers told me...

...it would have been no different

than a newspaper article.

But I treated the people with the emotional

and psychological detail of a novel.

I see, so you're doing something different

than a regular reporter.
