Where The Truth Lies Page #4

got ready to go to church.

Lanny, Lanny. What are you doing?

I'm ordering a pizza. I'm starving.

No anchovies on mine, Lanny.

Hey, so who are you talking to?

I'm talking to little Suzie

from Whittier, California...

...and she is going to donate

three weeks of allowance.

- How about that, folks?

- Suzie from Whittier, thank you.

Three weeks of allowance.

That's a challenge for all you...

What you have to understand

is that Vince and me...

... were essentially a boy-girl act.

I was the tramp,

ready for any sort of action...

... and Vince was the gentleman...

... always trying to make me

behave myself.

I was pleasure, and he was control.

I was rock 'n' roll,

and he was class.

His presence gave America

permission to like me.

My deal with the publisher

gave me first-class travel...

... a luxury I'd never enjoyed.

Is there any chance of switching

to a window seat?

Sorry, we're completely booked

in first.

But these center seats

are really wonderful. See...

...if you push here...

Can I show you?

Sure.

The chair swivels

to the left and the right.

And this converts

to a full-sized dining table...

...during our

Pan Am platinum service...

...with damask linen

and silverware by Fornari...

...so you don't have to eat off a tray.

Again, that's only

for these center seats.

How does that sound?

At that time, when you

traveled first class...

... people would always ask you if you

met someone famous on the flight.

- Mr. Morris.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Though he would later accuse me

of engineering this, I didn't.

It just...

... happened.

Reuben. So they...

They record these songs...

...in a studio that I am paying for.

Songs that are recorded for me...

...that they are

contracted to provide.

- Are you with me here?

- Yes, it's just that...

No, it's just that nothing, Irv.

Please, let me finish. They record...

I read an interview where Lanny was

given credit for insisting his butler...

... travel in the same class and stay

at the same hotels as his boss.

The valet's attentiveness

was impressive.

Looks like you'll be having

dinner with Lanny Morris.

- Hello.

- Hi.

We should get a waiter to slide

a matchbook under the airplane.

There we go.

That should hold.

This is my friend Reuben.

- Hi.

- Hi.

And this is also my friend,

technically speaking...

...and business manager, Irv.

- Hi.

My name is Lanny.

And what's your name?

Bonnie. Bonnie Trout.

What do you do, Bonnie?

I teach.

And what do you teach?

- Second grade.

- Well, we have a lot in common.

You teach second grade,

I went to second grade.

- Irv, you went to second grade too?

- Many times.

Tell me, Miss Trout...
