:43:01
Or sometimes to perform
a public service.
:43:04
In the case of the flautist,
Benjamin Raspail...
:43:06
he did it to improve the sound of
the Baltimore Philharmonic Orchestra...
:43:10
serving the not-so-talented flute
player's sweetbreads to the board...
:43:13
with a nice Montrachet
at $700 a bottle.
:43:17
Wow.
:43:19
That meal began with green oysters
from the Gironde...
:43:22
followed by the sweetbreads,
a sorbet...
:43:25
and then you can read here
in Gourmet Cuisine.:
:43:28
"A notable dark and glossy ragout,
the constituents never determined."
:43:33
I always figured him
for a queer.
:43:34
Why would you say that, Paul?
:43:36
All this artsy-fartsy stuff.
:43:39
Chamber music, tea-party food.
Not that I mean anything personal...
:43:43
if you've got a lot of sympathy
for those people.
:43:48
What I came to impress
upon you, Starling...
:43:51
is I better see cooperation.
:43:53
There are no little fieldoms here.
:43:55
I want to be copied
on every 302, you understand?
:43:59
If you work with me...
:44:01
then your so-called career here
might improve.
:44:05
If you don't,
then all I have to do...
:44:09
is draw a line through your name
rather than under it...
:44:13
and it's over.
:44:14
Paul, what is it with you?
:44:16
I told you to go home to your wife.
That was wrong?
:44:19
What? Don't flatter yourself,
Starling.
:44:23
That was a long time ago.
:44:25
Why would I hold that
against you?
:44:29
And besides...
:44:32
this town is full
of cornpone, country pussy.
:44:36
That said...
:44:37
I wouldn't mind having a go with you
right now, if you want to reconsider.
:44:41
In the gym, anytime. No pads.
:44:48
Is it possible it went out
with the regular mail?
:44:51
No, lover night edit to you.
I filled out the slip myself.
:44:55
This was the day after your request.
:44:57
I did it right away.
I don't understand what happened.
