Happy birthday, Brian.
:35:02
Bon voyage, Maxine.
:35:03
Why you're going to England and I'm not,
God only knows!
:35:10
Dear Cecily:
Yorkshire pudding out of this world.
:35:15
We have nothing like it.
:35:16
I described it to someone as a high,
curved, smooth, empty waffle.
:35:21
Helene Hanff.
:35:25
What?
:35:28
Who is this?
:35:30
A producer who likes my plays,
but not enough to produce them, phoned.
:35:35
He's producing a TV series.
Do I want to write for television?
:35:39
"Two bills," he said carelessly.
:35:42
What do you mean, "two bills"?
:35:44
It turns out he meant $200 a script!
:35:49
And me, a $40-a-week script reader!
:35:52
I go to see him tomorrow.
:35:54
10:30? Sure, yes, I'll be there.
:35:57
See you then.
:35:59
Thanks.
:36:07
Keep your fingers crossed.
:36:09
Best, Helene.
:36:14
Boy!
:36:30
Here we are. Pork sausages.
:36:33
And raisins.
:36:39
And peaches.
:36:40
And some ham.
:36:46
Dear Miss Hanff:
:36:47
Your Easter parcels to Marks & Co.
Arrived safely a few days ago.
:36:53
We were all quite dazzled to see the meat.
:36:56
And the eggs and tins
were so very welcome.
