:13:00
- Are you listening?
- Avidly.
:13:02
- He was staring.
- Starin'.
:13:04
So when he approached me
on his way out, I wasn't surprised.
:13:07
- He was doing a Sunday piece on...
- Cigarette girls. Naturally...
:13:11
You were thrilled
about being interviewed.
:13:14
And were you "interviewed"?
:13:17
In his apartment.
:13:20
- Where was his wife?
- I don't know. It's a big apartment.
:13:24
Only I wasn't interviewed. In fact, I was
totally unprepared for what happened.
:13:29
Oh, come on, chickie.
We're friends from way back.
:13:32
A columnist without his ball and chain,
you make like a delicatessen counter...
:13:37
What did you expect
he'd do in his apartment!
:13:39
But, Sidney, sweetheart.
The man must have been out of his mind.
:13:43
It was only 1 1 o'clock in the morning.
:13:46
I was so taken aback, I said anything
that popped into my sleepy head.
:13:50
If I'm not mistaken, I think I even
ordered the man out of his own house.
:13:55
He was furious. By the time I could've
been put in a tropical-island mood,
:13:59
I was out on the street.
:14:01
That night, Van Cleve
calls me into his office.
:14:03
He's got nothin' against me, he says, only
he can't afford to antagonise columnists.
:14:08
So I tell him how I still have Sonny
at the military academy...
:14:12
- Could you do something?
- That's what I'm thinkin', Rita. Maybe.
:14:16
Sidney, do you still keep
your key under the mat?
:14:21
Can you be there at 2.30?
:14:45
You're touchy, Sidney.
Don't be so touchy.
:14:49
Do a guy a favour.
Well, live and learn.
:14:53
- You want something to eat?
- No, no.
