Jimmie Powers.
You old son of a gun.
some mistake.
You trying to kid me,Jimmie?
What do you know?
He's trying to kid me.
L-Let me get this straight.
You mean to tell me
you're notJimmie Powers?
I'm afraid that's exactly
what I mean to tell you.
Well, I've heard everything.
Say, if you aren'tJimmie Powers,
I'll-- I'll eat your hat.
Well, in that event,
I suppose I really owe it to you
to make assurance doubly sure.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Oh, as I thought.
I am not Mr.Jimmie, uh, uh--
what was it, uh-- Powers at all.
Well, I'll be whatever it is.
Of course,
now, I might be mistaken.
Perhaps I should take up the habit
of carrying my birth certificate
around with me.
Come on,Joe.
I told you not to take
that last double Bronx.
If you gentlemen will excuse me.
Please convey my compliments,
to Mr., uh, uh, uh, what's-his-name,
and tell him that I don't really
resemble him on purpose.
Good day, gentlemen.
Oh, come on,Joe.
anything like it before.
Jimmie Powers.
And he says he ain't.
You could be mistaken,
couldn't ya?
No, I couldn't.
Why, he was the managing editor
of that newspaper
back in Springfield.
I used to--
Six years ago.
I used to run into him every day.
And then he got into
some kind of a jam and--
just disappeared.
What kind of a jam?
Well, the way I got it was that
he-- he was playing nature's nobleman
to somebody or other...
that fell down on him,
and so he took the rap
and said nothing.
Maybe he was trying to
high-hat you just now.
Not theJimmie Powers
I used to know.
Why, he was the most promising
newspaperman in the country.
Oh, what of it?
It's no skin off your back, is it?
Uh, Mr. Taylor, please.
Michael Trevor calling.
Mr. Taylor said
you were to come right up.
Room 309, sir.
Thank you.
How are you, Mr. Trevor?
Glad to see you.
How are you, Mr. Taylor?
Come on in. Sit down.
Thank you.
Well, it's nice to see you again.
I tried to call you up myself,
but I didn't know where
to get hold of you.
that day I met you at the Ritz.
Oh.
I kind of forgot
to get your phone number.
Well, I got yours.
So, here we are.
Yep. Here we are.
Have a drink?
Oh, thank you, no.
I, uh-- I had a purpose in phoning you
this morning, Mr. Taylor.
Aside from my desire
to see you again, of course.
Glad you did.
I'll try to be as brief as possible.
I don't know if you know
very much about me.
Oh, sure, I do. You're just being modest.
Oh, thank you.
Mr. Trevor.
Yeah?
They tell me you're over here
writing a great novel.
Ah. I wish I could be as sure
of that as they are.
Well, all I know is that
some four years ago I quit being
a newspaperman in America.
Now I'm over here to see
if I can really write.
You've been in Paris four years?
Mmm.
I wish I could stay
over here four years. Hmm.
I've only been here a week.
For the most part, we have
a very nice crowd of Americans
living here in Paris permanently.
Paris is certainly a liberal education.
Isn't it?
I thought I'd seen a lot,
but let me tell you.
These Frenchmen--
Uh, French.
And how!
Unfortunately, there are
a few Americans living in this town
who are not exactly all they might be.
Frankly, there's only a handful,
but they're what I've come
to see you about.
There was a little redhead
at the Folies-Bergere the other night.
And let me tell you--
Ah, yes. I know. I know.
Now, uh, these fellows
I'm talking about, Mr. Taylor,
live by their wits--
and by other people's
