:31:00
Just... call.
:31:03
[ Man ] Not sinceJohannes Gutenberg's
invention of the printing press...
:31:08
which changed forever
the landscape of man's destiny...
:31:12
has one book reached so many
and achieved so much...
:31:16
reminding all of us here today...
:31:18
of the noble goal which called us
to toil in the field of publishing...
:31:23
to begin with--
:31:25
sales.
:31:27
So here's to Banner House's
new number-one author...
:31:31
and our new number-one editor.
:31:35
Say cheers, everyone.
:31:38
[ All ]
Cheers.
:31:40
Those men are livid, B.N.
:31:43
You're a hit.
You're bigger than the pill.
:31:45
Oh, talk about big, V.H.
:31:48
This office is huge. Congratulations.
:31:51
We did it.
:31:53
Well, hello, Gladys!
You look wonderful.
:31:58
As you told me, Barbara,
it's never too late. [ Giggles ]
:32:01
Oh, Vikki, Peter MacMannus
called again.
:32:04
Now it's every half hour.
:32:07
[ Both ]
Tell him we're too busy.
:32:09
- What do you mean? ''Too busy''?
- You know what it means.
:32:14
[ Peter]
They hate us.
:32:16
Too busy?
:32:18
Kennedy, Khrushchev and Castro weren't
too busy during the Cuban Missile Crisis...
:32:22
to sit down and talk to me...
:32:24
but this Down with Love chick
is too busy.
:32:27
Doing what? Eating chocolate?
:32:29
[ Man On TV]
I'm sorry, panel. You've been stumped.
:32:32
- The author of the best seller,
Down with Love...
- It's Novak!
:32:36
- Barbara Novak.
- [ Audience Applauding ]
:32:38
Barbara, I know every woman
bought your book...
:32:41
and every man sneaked out and bought it
to find out what their women were reading.
:32:45
- That's when the sales doubled.
- [ Laughing ]
:32:47
[ Man ] But then they tripled.
How did that happen?
:32:50
It seems that church groups
in the Bible belt were so zealous...
:32:54
about being seen burning my book...
:32:57
that every time they had a bonfire,
they would call and reorder...
