:41:03
Its funny. Its also very real.
Now do you get my point?
:41:06
Obviously, you were writing about people
and incidents that you were familiar...
:41:09
With which...
That you had observed firsthand.
:41:13
What makes you so sure?
:41:16
Lts my business, Miss Sherwood.
Let me prove my point.
:41:19
First, you write three phoney love stories.
:41:21
All of a sudden, you turn around, start
writing about your beautiful sister, Eileen...
:41:25
that has a dozen men running after her...
:41:26
and shes got them dangling like puppets
on the end of a string...
:41:29
wrapped around her little finger.
Thats delightful.
:41:32
But by comparison, those three love stories,
theyre completely unbelievable.
:41:37
- They are?
- They are.
:41:39
Now, wheres the answer?
:41:41
Suppose I told you
I dont even have a sister?
:41:45
All right, then you dont have a sister...
:41:47
then shes a good friend of yours.
Whoever she is, shes real.
:41:49
I bet you my bottom buck
shes somebody you know pretty well.
:41:52
Matter of fact, Id like to know her myself.
She sounds like quite a girl.
:41:56
Who is she?
:42:00
I hate to admit it, Mr. Baker...
:42:03
but youre a very discerning man.
:42:06
It just happens that Eileen
and the inexperienced...
:42:11
frustrated, spinsterish Ruth Sherwood...
:42:14
are one and the same.
:42:19
You mean... You tell me that this...
:42:25
All those experiences? You?
:42:30
All those men?
:42:34
I guess the single girls in Columbus
were happy to see you leave.
:42:39
It wasnt as bad as all that.
:42:41
- I coloured the stories a little.
- Naturally.
:42:45
- You know, literary licence.
- Yeah...
:42:49
What about that army pilot...
:42:52
that flew all the way from Nome, Alaska
to bring you a birthday present?
:42:56
Danny Marshall.
:42:58
He always was impulsive.
