These wild speculations
about my intelligence...
:42:02
...these preposterous inventions
would be better suited...
:42:04
...for the pages of Amazing Tales Magazine.
:42:08
If the editors of the Manhattan Argus
see fit...
:42:10
...to publish the work of a disordered mind,
perhaps they will see fit to publish this.
:42:15
But I doubt it.
:42:16
I most seriously doubt it. I doubt also
you could find a home at Amazing Tales...
:42:20
...a periodical which I have enjoyed
for many years. Sincerely...
:42:24
...et cetera.
:42:32
Is that all, Mr. Barnes?
:42:36
You know me, Amy, better than this dame.
Do you think I'm an imbecile?
:42:40
Well, I'm sure I....
:42:42
Tell the truth. I trust you.
I place a lot of stock in your opinion.
:42:47
Oh, sure, you're biased.
:42:49
You're a fellow Muncian.
:42:52
But let me ask you a question:
:42:54
Would an imbecile come up with this?
:43:03
I designed it myself.
:43:05
This sweet baby will put Hudsucker
right back on top.
:43:11
You know, for kids.
:43:16
Why don't I just type this up?
:43:18
That won't be necessary.
I shouldn't send it.
:43:21
She's just doing her job, I guess.
:43:24
I don't know, maybe she does deserve it.
:43:27
Maybe she should have come in here
and faced you man-to-man.
:43:30
- She probably had a deadline.
- She still could've gotten your side...
:43:34
...for the record.
:43:35
It's done now. What's the use
of grousing about it?
:43:38
Forget the letter,
I just had to blow off steam.
:43:42
She's probably just a little confused.
:43:45
"Confused?"
:43:46
Probably a fast-talking career gal,
thinks she's one of the boys.
:43:50
Probably is, if you know what I mean.
:43:51
I'm quite sure I don't know what you mean.
:43:54
Probably suffers from one
of these complexes they have nowadays.
:43:57
It's obvious. She's probably
very unattractive and bitter about it.
