:40:03
I'm not gonna forget about him
because of some apparent inconsistencies.
:40:07
- You hardly even know him.
- I know him very well.
:40:11
You couldn't.
You only just met him.
:40:13
Well, I do.
:40:21
I didn't know
you sent out Christmas cards.
:40:23
Well, I haven't in years.
:40:25
When we moved, do you know what happened
to my toys and things?
:40:30
They were put in storage.
:40:32
Do you think some of them
could have been sent to Dad's?
:40:36
It's possible.
Why? Do you want them?
:40:38
- You're a bit old for that sort of thing.
- No, I just had a feeling they went to Dad's.
:40:42
- Well, why don't you call him then?
- I have. There's been no answer.
:40:55
There's something about winter in the city
at night, with everyone dressed up...
:40:58
that reminds me of War and Peace.
:41:00
- Really?
- Do you know what I mean?
:41:02
Yeah, I think so,
though I haven't read it.
:41:08
( Quiet Chattering )
:41:12
Well, I don't think ''preppy''
is a very useful term.
:41:15
I mean, it might be descriptive for
someone who is still in school or college...
:41:19
but it's ridiculous to refer to a man in his 7 0s,
like Averell Harriman, as a preppy.
:41:24
And none of the other terms people use -
WASP, P.L.U., et cetera - are of much use either.
:41:28
And that's why
I prefer the term ''U.H.B.''
:41:32
- What?
- U.H.B.
:41:34
It's an acronym for
urban haute bourgeoisie.
:41:37
Is our language so impoverished...
:41:39
that we have to use acronyms or French phrases
to make ourselves understood?
:41:43
- Yes.
- U.H.B.
:41:46
The term is brilliant
and long overdue.
:41:49
But it's a bit of a mouthful, isn't it -
U.H.B.?
:41:52
Wouldn't it be better
just to pronounce it simply ''UHB''?
:41:57
Well, I didn't expect it
to gain immediate acceptance.
