:05:01
- Oh, thank goodness you're here.
- Vikki?
:05:04
Vikki Hiller, your editor, in the flesh.
:05:06
It is so nice to finally
meet you in person.
:05:09
My goodness, you're gorgeous.
:05:12
We'll have a photo shoot for
the book jacket. There's time.
:05:15
The book doesn't come out for a week.
One week. Oh, my.
:05:19
Don't be nervous. Cigarette?
:05:24
Barbara, this is my secretary, Gladys.
Gladys, Barbara Novak.
:05:27
Oh, I know. It's a pleasure.
:05:29
Hello, Gladys. I'm glad to finally
have a face to put with the voice.
:05:33
Vik, I need you to sign off
on this pronto.
:05:36
Maurice Johns, art director.
:05:39
Barbara Novak, your cover.
:05:45
Oh, Maurice. I love it!
:05:48
"Down With Love". Hear, hear.
:05:50
I wish someone had
written your book...
:05:52
...10 years ago before
it was too late for me.
:05:55
Gladys, it's never too late.
:05:57
Great job. Sorry if the guys in
reproduction have been riding your tail.
:06:00
Well, I'm not.
:06:06
They're ready for you in the lion's den.
:06:11
- Lion's den?
- Oh, don't worry. You'll be fine.
:06:16
Just take a deep breath.
:06:29
Gentlemen, this is Miss Novak.
:06:35
- E.G.

:06:37
- C.W.
- J.B.
:06:39
- J.R.
- R.J.
:06:40
- Okay.
- O.K. Can't make it. He's down with T.B.
:06:43
Oh, what a shame. Is it serious?
:06:45
No, they're just having breakfast.
T.B. Is Theodore Banner.
:06:49
The owner of Banner House.
The fellow publishing your book.
:06:53
That's his portrait, there.
:06:58
Sorry if we've kept you, but Barbara hit
a storm on her way down from Maine.
