:41:00
- Really?
- Do you know what I mean?
:41:02
Yeah, I think so,
though I haven't read it.
:41:08
( Quiet Chattering )
:41:12
Well, I don't think ''preppy''
is a very useful term.
:41:15
I mean, it might be descriptive for
someone who is still in school or college...
:41:19
but it's ridiculous to refer to a man in his 7 0s,
like Averell Harriman, as a preppy.
:41:24
And none of the other terms people use -
WASP, P.L.U., et cetera - are of much use either.
:41:28
And that's why
I prefer the term ''U.H.B.''
:41:32
- What?
- U.H.B.
:41:34
It's an acronym for
urban haute bourgeoisie.
:41:37
Is our language so impoverished...
:41:39
that we have to use acronyms or French phrases
to make ourselves understood?
:41:43
- Yes.
- U.H.B.
:41:46
The term is brilliant
and long overdue.
:41:49
But it's a bit of a mouthful, isn't it -
U.H.B.?
:41:52
Wouldn't it be better
just to pronounce it simply ''UHB''?
:41:57
Well, I didn't expect it
to gain immediate acceptance.
:42:00
No, no, I think it's a useful term. The fact that
it sounds ridiculous could be part of its appeal.
:42:04
( Cynthia )
You see the world from such lofty heights...
:42:06
that everything below
is a bit comical to you, isn't it?
:42:12
- Yes.
- You're so obnoxious.
:42:16
I don't see how you can stand him.
:42:18
You're always complaining about people
being frauds and phonies.
:42:21
Well, this guy is
the phony of the decade...
:42:24
yet you act like
he was your long-lost best friend.
:42:27
Tom Townsend is hardly a phony-
just mildly deluded. He's a perfectly nice guy.
:42:31
That's just another aspect of his phoniness.
He's a complete phony.
:42:35
And when he's not being a phony,
h-he's a bastard.
:42:38
Oh, come on.
:42:40
- You saw how he treated Audrey last night.
- Audrey seems to have forgotten it.
:42:43
She has to act that way.
Otherwise, it would be even more humiliating.
:42:47
But I don't have to pretend
that Tom Townsend's a nice guy.
:42:51
You're really gaga about Audrey,
aren't you?
:42:54
Well, if by ''gaga''
you mean, ''Do I like her?''...
:42:57
yeah.
:42:59
Well, why don't you
do something about it then...
