:45:24
Yes?
:45:25
How's my star performer?
:45:27
Twilley. What a surprise.
:45:31
Ever since that Arab reception,
you've been in real demand.
:45:34
Really? You've made my day.
:45:36
There's a nice English boy--
called 3 times today.
:45:40
I told him you'd be
at the Ritz this afternoon.
:45:42
What if I don't go?
:45:44
You'll ruin my reputation...
and yours.
:45:47
What have you got
that makes you so popular?
:45:50
Something you don't have--
brains.
:45:53
It doesn't take brains
to get fucked.
:46:02
Proportion of real estate...
:46:03
and fast return
consumer investment...
:46:05
has been such as to make
almost no ripple...
:46:07
in Western financial capitals.
:46:10
But in my view,
the West could absorb...
:46:13
at least twice the current
rate of petrodollars...
:46:15
without any serious danger.
:46:18
And finally, there's the myth
so widely held over here...
:46:22
that petrodollars
have failed to reach...
:46:23
the underdeveloped countries
of the Third World.
:46:27
In this instance, the failure
is one of communication...
:46:30
not of intention.
:46:31
Uninformed public opinion,
a biased media...
:46:36
and the atavistic fears
of a Western culture...
:46:39
that regards all Arabs
as potential enemies...
:46:41
have done the rest.
