Woman of the Year Page #6

but because you have a heart...

...a job you like to do and a future.

You're just a normal

human being, Sam.

Go on leading your normal human life.

That sounds fine.

How do you go about arranging it?

You mean, how do you go about

arranging it?

Yeah.

Well, I'd say marry the girl.

All right, I will.

He comes out and starts

peppering me with light lefts.

I'm taking it, see? I'm waiting

for an opening with me right cocked...

...but it don't come.

First round, pepper.

Second round...

- Hello, Sammy.

- Hi, Pinkie. Back booth empty?

Well, if it ain't, I'll empty it.

Two Scotches, on the house.

You'll like this place.

Tess Harding, Pinkie Peters.

He's telling me who you are.

You write for Sammy's paper.

I read your column all the time.

I don't understand it, but I read it.

- It that from the right bottle?

- The best we have, sir.

Don't give them

the cockamamie bar stock.

No. No, sir.

Well...

...what can I do for you?

Skip your story of your fight

with Braddock.

Sure.

The Carnera fight, maybe?

No. Another Scotch, maybe.

Good idea.

- Make mine a double.

- Me too.

Sure.

Well, we're alone. Talk.

You do have something to talk about?

Yeah, yeah. You.

I'd like to know what you like

and don't like...

...and how you feel about being you.

I feel very good about it. Always have.

I like knowing more about

what goes on than most people.

- And telling them.

- Yeah, and telling them.

Thanks, Joe.

Lot of drink in these.

I don't know.

Well, I just mean

if you're not used to them.

Oh, don't worry about me.

As a diplomat's daughter, I've had

to match drinks with a lot of people.

From remittance men

to international spies.

And I may say I've never

wound up under the table.

Reminds me of my year at college.

We used to bet on drinking.

Make a contest out of it. Kid stuff.

Imagine.

Silly.

Lots of people make the error...

...of grouping Pareto

and Spengler together...

...because they both feel that democracy

is through, whereas actually...

...Spengler is the philosophical basis

for Fascism.

Or... No, he's not.

Pareto is.

While Spengler...

Well, actually, they both are.

That is, at least, basically.

Well, it's about the same thing.

Were you there at the end?

In Madrid, I mean.

After I came back,

I wrote a series of articles...

...which finally blossomed

into a regular column.

And I've lived happily ever after.

Did you live happily ever before?

How do you mean?

Well, I wanna know the story,

you know, behind the story.

The girl without a country

and how she grew up.

She grew up by remote control.

I've read Uncle Tom

in the Argentine and...

The Argentine.

Argentine.

And I read Huckleberry Finn
